The starter does turn over each time they key is turned. I know the plugs and ignition coils haven't been in replaced in the last 130,000 miles. I am planning to start there.
Thanks for the input!

My 2008 vibe with 140,000 miles has been starting a little rough. About the half the time the engine turns over about 4 times before starting and the other half it turns over twice before starting like it always has. It has started every time and I don't need to turn the key for a long time or try m...

I have a 2008 Vibe with 132,000 miles on it. I am planning to inspect the front end and replace anything that looks worn out. I plan to look at ball joints, tie rods and sway bars. Do these things generally need to be replaced at 130,000 miles? I am also wondering if/when water pumps tend to go out?...

I replaced all 4 on my 2008 with Monroe Quick-Struts. The install went and well and they seem to work as expected. RockAuto was running a deal and I got all 4 for around $350 which seemed like a good deal.
Can't speak to other brands.

Around 115,000 the car needed new rotors and the brakes made a squeal when I applied them. The noise was the loudest at around 40-45 and wa...

I am looking to purchase the square metal piece with a hole in the middle that the bolt screws into to attach the crossarms. Not sure on the name. When I bought a set off a junk vibe I got 7 out of the 8 and used a few zip ties to attach the last one. Anyone have one for sale/know where I can buy on...

I bought and installed a hitch on my 2008 vibe. The holes were already there and since the car has been through Midwest winters for the last ten years a bought a tap to clean rust out of the holes. I torqued three out of the four bolts to spec. The threading on the fourth hole stripped out and the b...
