Re: How many miles on your Vibes?

Re: How long does a Vibe last?

My Mom is the one who got me interested in Pontiac Vibes. Her 2006 has right under 240,000. My 2009 has 159,000

Re: Are the sensors the same on Vibe and Matrix?

The labor was $335. Took it to a dealership nearby. The part normally runs $320 plus shipping but one of the members here sent me a link and it was $90 cheaper. They also gave me the old part back which probably works. So for everything $335 labor + $260 part = $595 I figure getting the old part bac...

Re: Are the sensors the same on Vibe and Matrix?

Final update: They were able to fix the Vibe. The part from the Matrix did fit but the dash lights were still on. Turns out the first garage gave the wrong diagnoses. It was some bad wiring that they tracked down and replaced. Vibe runs like new now and I'm definitely keeping it. Biggest thing here ...

Re: Are the sensors the same on Vibe and Matrix?

Thanks. Unfortunately that part is completely discontinued. Without it abs, awd, and traction control won't work. In Virginia you can't pass inspection. So the plan now is try the matrix sensor and see if that works. Dealership did say I would get the part back if it doesn't work which is at least s...

Re: Are the sensors the same on Vibe and Matrix?

Just an update. There is a lot more to this than I thought. Electrical parts aren't returnable and the dealership can't confirm the Matrix part will fit. It's going to cost around $660 total and they have no idea if it will work. I'm seriously reconsidering.

Re: replacement for a Vibe

With my ABS sensor dying I've been looking around. Right now possibly a 2018 Honda CRV or RAV4. Cars are crazy expensive with this inflation so I'm hoping I can keep my Vibe. Its part of the family.

Re: Are the sensors the same on Vibe and Matrix?

Thanks for the help. I called my local place and they said they don't accept returns on electrical parts. So i went with the link yall sent and bought that. It was almost $100 cheaper.

Worst case scenario it doesn't fit and I sell it on ebay. Thanks again.

Are the sensors the same on Vibe and Matrix?

I'm looking for a rear right abs speed sensor. I have a 2009 Vibe AWD. Can't find one for the Vibe but I found one for 2009 Matrix AWD. Are they the same sensor?

Re: 2009 Vibe AWD issue

I'm in Virginia. It snows sometimes. The appointment is to diagnose the problem and if it's not too expensive get it fixed. I have no clue what's causing it.

Re: Do you feel your Vibe's A/C is deficient? (kharman)

Maybe there is something up with my car, as it's never been able to cope with even 80-something degrees with high humidity. Nothing really would surprise me at this point. Or maybe I'm just asking for more than this thing is capable of delivering, even if it is in perfect, working order. Did you pr...

2009 Vibe AWD issue

After I start it everything is fine at first. But after I start driving and it shifts into 2nd gear (Automatic) all the dash lights come on. AWD, ABS, Traction, Brake, etc. My solution has been to come to a complete stop and hold the brake for a few seconds. After I drive again for like 20 seconds a...
