Re: Scary Rpm Surge on Monday (2/5/07)....as if gas pedal was stuck (BlueCrush)

I had the same thing happen on my 97 blazer, picking up a friend at the airport, getting on the expressway I 'hit the gas' and then when I backed off the rpms jumped to almost the redline and I was breaking as hard as I could. Threw it in Neutral (should have left it there and blew the motor), but t...

Re: To Vibe or not To Vibe... (agentkolb)

Have you checked Crystal Lake Pontiac? I bought my 05 there and they are great to work with. I have not checked their stock but it is closer than driving to Rockford... I love my Vibe, it has some nagging issues but no mechanical problems.The dealer also uses a bunch of Grand Ams as their loaners an...

Just wondering how many rpms should a base automatic be at a 55-70 mph? I'm usually at about 2800 to 2900 which may be why I don't get the mpg I thought I'd get (between 25-27 for suburban Chicago driving). Best for everyday driving I've gotten is 32 mpg.

Re: (Base5speed)

Each time mine was in I dropped it off in the afternoon (to be able to get my loaner car) and they'd have it until the next evening, calling right before the service department closed. They would tell me that they needed to fix it and then test, dry, test, dry, test and so on until there were no lea...

Re: (nortsr)

I was pretty much kidding about the lemon law...I did not read the 2nd invoice from the dealer that closely figuring they knew what they were doing. I'll dig out the paperwork when I get home to make sure they are telling the truth. All I know is they better hope it stays dry tomorrow or the owner a...

Re: Leaky Roof (bobbyh)

It happened again this week, not much rain here in Chicago... We had a bad storm on Monday and it was wet in the same spot. This time I printed out the GM service bulletin and took it in with me. The service consutant was surprised I had it and checked with the tech that said he already did that fix...

Newbie's 2nd post

My intro is actually my second post... Me being new to forums I just posted a question last month without saying hi to ya'll. We bought an 05 neptune monotone in June as a high mileage commuter/kid hauler that looked cool. With gas prices lately we have piled all 3 kids in the vibe instead of the su...

Re: Leaky Roof (ColonelPanic)

Thanks for the fast response!!! I do not have a moonroof and they have tried to fix it. It only happens when it rains and it has only rained a couple of times all summer in Chicago, it does not happen when it gets washed, or maybe there is not enough water to cause it.That link looks like it may be ...

Leaky Roof

I have had my 3 month old '05 in 2 times for a roof leak in heavy rain. The water comes out between headliner and A pillar trim on drivers side. They have dropped headliner 2 times and both times said it is from the roof rack? Anyone else out there with similar problem???? Otherwise most fun car I'v...
