Re: Rattle in door panel (redlava)

BOTH of my front doors rattle when I listen to the radio. It's not bad on hot days, but in the winter when the temps get cold I can get the doors to rattle with very minimal volume on the stereo. My dealer says that rattles are not their problem. I will just have to tear them apart myself one of the...

Add another person with the cladding problem. I really hope they get their act together. I am getting sick of looking at it.

Re: JD Power Releases Brand Reliability Rankings (ragingfish)

It may be a GM designed interior, but the power window switches, mechnisms, turn signals stalks, cruise and guages all came from the Toyota parts bin. The radio is the exeption along with some of the interior plastic components. My guess is that it is more like 80% Toyota.

Re: great a spot for us Minnestoa Vibe owners now! (Da Vibe)

Well not much action from MN but I will add my name to the list. I work for a company that manufactures automotive aftermarket components. Nothing for the Vibe, but I can always keep pushing . Love the car, have the same complaints as most.-Horn, what horn! I thought I electrocuted a mosquito!!!-Har...

Re: Do you leave your foglamps ON? (Chris)

I leave the fog lmps all the time also. I like the look too, but it's just easier to leave them on all the time and let the Sentinal remember to do it for me(lazy (removed)). That is when the lenses aren't cracked and let moisture get in the casing! I don't know if I just got behind some bad sand tr...

Re: Automatic or Stick Shift? (joatmon)

I also prefer the manual and the shift location is fine for the most part. My two gripes are the terrible box-o-rocks feeling with the sloppy feel. Also depending upon what you have plugged in to 12V or 110V outlet, plugs can get in the way.

Re: Bad Drivers (Admin II)

One thing that pisses me off the most in when I'm on a 4 lane highway or interstate the left lane is the FAST LANE! Your crusing along and I am all ways speeding but I use the left lane and you come on on the back of someone who is doing the speed limit. THEY SHOULD BE OVER IN THE RIGHT LANE. ______...

Re: New 04 Vibe (Sputnik)

Here's hoping that the subwoofer will retrofit on the '03. The moon and tunes radio is solid with decent sound but really lacks low end punch. I'm not one who likes pounding bass, but the soundsystem is lacking in that department. I have been looking for an aftermarket solution, but they all eat up ...

Re: Replacing 2-tone molding with monotone parts? (Lancer)

I was at SEMA and saw the Vibe with the new sport package and Supercharger accessories. It looks as though the package is just extensions for the side skirts and bumpers(just remembering what I saw, you still need to verify with a dealer). You would need to have the side and wheel well moldings repl...

Re: Dashboard squeaks & rattles (MJN2)

Thanks, I also have a little rattle coming from the front of the dash. It sounds as if it's coming from inside the defroster vent. One of these days I'll have to fix it myself. I've found that dealerships are worthless for fixing rattles and squeaks. They either can't reproduce the problem or create...

I have had the same squeak around the guages and the 'ol foam in between plastic seems to cure the problem.My new rattles are coming from the front doors when the stereo is on. No, I do not have it cranked up too loud! I noticed it when the weather here in MN got colder. anyone else with this proble...
