Re: Possible lemon..... (w42w42)

We just got our new car this last Saturday, and so far all is well. GM hasn't finished the actual paperwork for the swap, but the dealership sent the car home with us regardless.

Re: Possible lemon..... (LindaL)

I do have a suggestion. Three, actually. 1) Talk to the GM or Owner of the dealership. It's in their interest to help you, and not go through arbitration under your states lemon law.2) Find the specifics on your states lemon law, I know a few here have mentioned Michigan and Washington, the latter h...

Re: Possible lemon..... (w42w42)

Well.....still here, and waiting. Our meeting last Monday (on the 1st) was the last time we had a face to face with them. I had a call from a gal at GM at few days ago, referencing paperwork we'd have to sign to complete the deal. Sounds fine, though the paperwork has yet to appear at the fax machin...

Re: Possible lemon..... (vibb)

The service dept. basically stated that because it wasn't a Pontiac, it shouldn't be expected to run correctly? I'd have laughed my head off just before smacking them. You could have said something like "I'm sorry, I'm originally from the States, I can't be expected to behave correctly" ;-...

Re: Possible lemon..... (w42w42)

We talked to the GM of the dealership last week, and he said that they were down to replacing the engine block - they really had no idea. We agreed that wasn't a desirable thing to do on a brand new vehicle, and he sent an email to General Motors. They agreed to replace/refund the vehicle, and we go...

Re: Possible lemon..... (RAC)

I *WISH* I had one of those customer surveys. I did get a phone call, albeit about three weeks ago, on the dealerships service.

Re: Possible lemon..... (w42w42)

Well, it's the 16th, and they still have it from the 2nd. A factory guy has shown up, and I believe tomorrow will be his third day with it. I wonder how long he's willing to stay to fix it.33 days of ownership, it's been at the shop for 20 of those.

Re: Possible lemon..... (yank dini)

Hi guys,Just an update. They still have the car from my 1st posting, still replacing parts. They know how to identifiy the problem without the engine light coming on, but that hasn't seemed to help them diagnose it.My concern now is that I get it back fixed, but it's totally rebuilt by hand and ratt...

Re: Check engine, and noises from the CD Player (mu_ohio)

When we called the dearship 2nd or 3rd time with this problem, they mentioned that. Seems they're having major problems right now with that - though it is not the cause of our problem (occured before we'd put first tank of gas in).

Possible lemon.....

I posted here a few weeks ago, regarding 'gravel in the radio', and a check engine light on a new Vibe, purchased on 09/14. It's been mostly down hill since then. I'd like to know if any of you have had similiar experiences, or heard of others that have.09/18 - 09/20: 1st visit, waited for a new rad...

Re: Check engine, and noises from the CD Player (MA-VIBE-FAN)

We finally got the car back, after two days. We still hadn't gone through a tank of gas, when I started it up on Sunday night. Had a rough sound to it, but no light on. I walked in the house, came back out, and sure enough, the check engine light was back. I called the dealership, and they tried tel...

Check engine, and noises from the CD Player

Hi everyone My Wife and I bought an '03 Vibe this last Saturday, and we went through almost a 1/2 tank of gas before noises, sounds like marbles rolling around, started coming from the CD Player during braking. The Check Engine light also came on, and wouldn't dissappear.Took it to the dealer on Wed...
