The Lemon Vibe is finally gone. If you ever get a lemon my advice is to work for an exchange and not use the lemon law. It takes too long and only the lawyers come out ahead. Also cancel your extended warrantee immediately if you get a lemon. Do this regardless of whether you plan to go for an excha...

Sorry Ben, but I've got some real bad news for you. You are now number 4 from this list with the major CEL problem. Ours also came on after 2 weeks with just under 800 miles. It went back 7 times and we now have filed suit to get GM to buy it back. We got our lemon Vibe last May. See the possible le...

I had the same problem years ago with an Olds. I took it back to the dealer 3 times, the first 2 they replaced the gas cap and checked fuel lines. Since we have an attached garage the smell, although faint, was in the house when the car was parked in the garage. The 3rd time I took day off work and ...

Unfortunately if they are replacing the ECM it won't solve the problem. They put a new one in ours last June or early July. The CEL light won't go out until the bulb burns out. Still waiting for the GM lawyer's response to the filing of our suit. I count 3 Vibes from this list with the CEL problem. ...

Hello biggdogg173,Also Chicago metro, but when our lemon Vibe goes back we will be ex-Vibers. Good luck with yours.

Congrats on getting rid off the lemon. If you like the Vibe you definitely did the right thing. A cooperative dealer was a big help. Giving you the new car forces GM to take the lemon back. Too bad GM doesn't care as much about customer service as your dealer has shown he does. All we got from Ponti...

If you like the car take the exchange. It's the only way to get it off your hands quickly. They will ask you to pay for the miles on the Vibe. They wanted .25 per mile from us and we said no way especially since they put on 600 of them with their test drives. Our light is still on 2 months after the...

We are still waiting for GM to respond to the paperwork sent by the attorney. They don't seem to care about customers who buy these lemons. 7 attempts to fix the check engine light, 29 days in the shop and 600 miles of test drives where they replicated the problem. All the parts they threw at it fix...

Sorry to hear about your problem since we have the same. I checked this site in mid August, didn't see others with the CEL problem, so I thought we got the only bad one. Just looking for the first time in several weeks. Hopefully you've followed the recommendations in the owners manual. After the fi...
