Re: (Toasted7)

I have had mine for about a week also. Things seem ok, but the MPG has decreased from 30MPG to about 27MPG. I will definety bring that up to them when they call.I have noticed when I start mine up it revs up real quick then slows down. I am not sure if this is normal.

Re: (csharrigan)

I think we all need to keep a positive attitude. GM is trying with a few of us as "test cases" to see if the PCM will work. It is possible that some of us got old stock PCMs and that is why we are still having the problem. I am willing to give it a try....I disagree with the fuel pump as b...

I got the call too. They are going to try and put a new PCM in my vibe. I really hope this works.

Re: (csharrigan)

I will have to try and call them on Monday. I have been working with Columbia Pontiac in Hanover, but they have not had any luck at reproducing the problem. Customer Service said I could bring it to another dealer, but they would probably make me pay for the diagnostics. That is not right. It is a p...

Calling out to all Vibe Owners with Starting Problems

I have been having starting problems with my '05 vibe ever since I got it. I had the PCM replaced along with an O2 Sensor. I still have the problem that it cranks and wont start. Like many of you I have brought it to the dealer many times and they dismiss the problem because they are unable to repro...

Re: (csharrigan)

I had my PCM replaced back in February. Two days after it had been out of the shop it was having a hard time starting again. It went back in a few weeks later and to no surprise they were unable to duplicate the problem. I am so frustrated. I contacted customer support again and they act like they h...

I had my PCM replaced last week and it is still doing the same problem. I am waiting to hear from the dealer to see what we can do. Anyone else have this problem?

Re: HELP!! New Vibe won't start sometimes (Z24_Vibing)

The problem went away for awhile, but just started showing up again.I have contacted pontiac and the dealer many times. They are taking it back in on Monday to c...

Re: 2005 Vibe broke down - would not start after shifting problems (joatmon)

It was explained to me that a fuel pump problem can simulate a transmission problem. The engine is not getting the gas and therefore will not shift. I will keep you posted.

Re: 2005 Vibe broke down - would not start after shifting problems (GMJAP)

I did not see anything posted for the 2005 vibe. All the recalls and TSBs I found were for the 03. If you run into it again can you let me know a link or search to perorm to help me find it.Thanks for all the great tips and comments. It is nice to have other vibe owners out there to talk to.

Re: (ragingfish)

I dont know. All the fluids were at good levels and there were no warning lights or indication on the dash that something was wrong. It was just in the shop a month or so ago to get a oil change and check up. Nothing showed up then.

2005 Vibe broke down - would not start after shifting problems

I have had my 2005 vibe since November 2004. I love the vehicle, but I have had nothing but problems. It has always had a hard time starting, but whenever it went into the shop to be checked out, they never found anything. Well today it was 100 degrees out and I was having trouble shifting on the hi...
