Re: Hiss, Static, White Noise coming from Stereo even when Off (Sub-Vibe-R)

I agree that this is poor engineering! Mine is so loud that I can hear it when I'm driving the car with the stereo off. If driving around with static filling your ears is part of the Pontiac experience then I think GM will continue to play second fiddle to the Imports for some time yet.

Re: Hiss, Static, White Noise coming from Stereo even when Off (robdog)

I totally agree with KSNeptune on this one! We shouldn't accept this as standard performance. While I'm not saying that this annoying noise causes me brain tumors and I can't drive straight because of it, I am saying that it's disappointing when you pay big bucks for a product and it has undesired b...

Where to place the jack and jack stands when jacking the Vibe up?

I had the Vibe in at the dealer and they wanted $16 to rotate the tires! So I figured that's a rip-off and now I want to jack up one side of the car at a time and switch the tires around. Looking underneath the car I can't really see where I can put my floor jack head, and I also can't see where I'l...

Dash Lights Die?

Got a bit of a problem with my new Vibe and I'm wondering if anybody has had the same. Drove the car off the dealer lot and not more than 2 blocks away the whole dash console (speedo, tach etc) went totally black. Did a U-Turn and went back to the dealer. Turned the car off and when the salesman cam...

Nav System In Canada

Does anybody in Canada have the GPS system? I've been told that the Canadian coverage from these systems is particularly poor. I live in a small BC town too so I'm not sure if it would be much use for me. Can you tell me what it's like if your a Canuck?ThanksGrant
