Holy Shnikes! The control module (AKA the "amplifier") is over $300!!!!!!! Damn.

DG, I owe ya a beer, thanks for the help. I bought a factory service manual on dvd on ebay, and it is full of errors. Like switching out the relay for the clutch, when there is no relay in the circuit. It references the HVAC control module, yet does not have any component locations that I can find. ...

So there is a kit available?

+1.We were supposed to get a brand new vibe when the employee pricing was around. We never drove a 09, just assumed that it would be more or less the same as our 03.I rent cars almost every week for my job. Anything from SUV's to suckstobeyou's. I am so glad they gave me a 09 to drive, because I wil...

I rented an 09 today, and drove it 240 miles. Our 03 seems more comfortable, the 09 has me pretty cramped up. It feels like the seat does not go back as far, it needs about two more clicks back!

+1. Our dealer CANNOT locate a 1.8/5speed/power at all. He did find a 2.4, but so far we do not want that. Highway mileage is one thing, the Impala I just rented got 31.Around town the difference between the 1.8 and 2.4 is/ will be more dramatic, and that is where 90 percent of the miles are for us....

We paid a tad over 14K for our 03 6 years ago. It was the base 5 speed w/power package.We turned it in on a new one with $6900 trade in. Not bad, 50% over 6 years. It had 56K miles iirc.With rebate, employee pricing, and 3K in GM card points, we get a new one w/same options for 7K, out the door, tax...

1) Is the 2.4 the ecotec, i.e., not a 'yoda engine?2) Is the 1.8 the very same engine that worked so well in our '03? I never had a complaint about that engine....

21/28 vs 26/32. I have hit 37 with the 03 on a 1500 mile trip. That is a significant difference over the life of a car.1.8 w/ speed is fairly rare around here. Everyone "can get them", but no one nearby has one in stock.

Well, looking at this add leaves me to think the big sales book that I picked up at the dealer is full of it:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...89029It clearly shows power locks. It must be the "auto lock" function w/ auto that is not available. Very poorly worded.

Just going by the literature, because if we buy, they bring in the car from over 100 miles away. Seems 5 speed 1.8's are rare.Our 03 also has fog lights. Cant get them in the new one. they are really dumbing down the base model, it is irritating. We would consider the 2.4, but the mileage is signifi...

Wow, just found out you can not get intermittent wipers also.This sucks. Really looking bad for us getting a new vibe.GM, are you LISTENING? You suck.l

So, are you getting a GT with the stick?The weird thing is they say it has remote keyless entry, yet, no power door locks.Real crappy deal IMO.(removed) is GM thinking?

All ready to get a NEW 09, with the preferred package, it has NO power door locks with the manual? Remote keyless, but no door lock?WHY??????They offered us a killer deal, turn in our 03, and 7K cash/ 3 K GM card points.But no power door locks may be a deal breaker.

Well, now this has got me pi$$ed.The car was perfect before the recall, my Wife took it in, and of course did not check it afterwards.Now it sounds like the window is going to explode, and goes up at an angle.Nice job GM. You would think they can make a window by now. My 95 Impala had the smae damn ...

Anyone have the part number for cage/and motor assembly?Same problem, the fan is sounding like a city bus diesel.Seems like a common failure mode here. I wish there was an upgraded model available.

Anyone know if this an interchange?GM part from RockAuto runs $132, the Toyota part runs about a third.I have seen on the maintenance forum that the blower motor is a POS, many have seemed to have issues with it. But no one that I could see has answered if the Toyota part is the same.Just replaced t...
