Mine too was slow to crank (about -8) Funny though, I really did not notice too much of a problem last winter! (probably because last winter we did not get really cold weather early in the year, and as soon as it turned cold I would plug in whenever possible)

Lee

Awesome-saved me an embarrassing call to the dealer!!

Lee

Thanks a lot Salsa-I will try that. It just seemed odd because it was iced up before I started the car. Once again-your advice is much appreciated!

Lee

Has anyone had this problem occur? Temperature around -8 celcius (15 F) and I had more ice on the inside of my windows this morning than the outside! I have never had this occur and wondered if anyone else had the same problem (my car is over a year old) Thanks for any feedback

Lee

Funny thing-I have been filling my cars for MANY years-don't recall doing anything different the time this occurred, and I always round up! The Service mgr did not say anything about cap not being tightened, just not to overfill! My car is over a year old, and this only happened the once, but this w...

Lee

My check engine light came on a while back and when I took it in to dealer was told I had overfilled my tank-"when the tank clicks off-don't put in any more gas" was what the service manager told me. He said the Vibe has a very touchy sensor. The gage read over full when I took it in (I ha...

Lee

I have taken mine in twice for the poor a/c temps-told both times that the temperature registers "right on", but it really does not feel very cool-and people in the back seat are dying when it is hot. When I tell them about a TSB-they look at me like I am crazy! Oh well-it's not hot now so...

Lee

Saw a Fusion Vibe in Duluth Minnesota yesterday. It really did look pretty sharp!

Lee

I kind of thought it might have to do with the high revs.

Lee

Mine is hard to open too. Have to push button and pry open with my fingernail-so I just leave it open!

Lee

My car has about 9900 km on it and it still does the same thing when shifting from P to R or D. And yes, when the brake is fully engaged (I have an automatic transmission) I have kind of gotten used to it, but would like to know if anyone else has the same thing happening!

Lee

Thanks for the tip! I brought mine in and was told the a/c was registering in the proper temperature range, but I have to have the fan on the highest speed (which is quite noisy) to get what I consider to be a moderate amount of cooling. So, I will be going back with your instructions!

Lee

I like it. Not for me, but I like it!

Lee

There are 2 separate buttons-one for tilt, one for slide. They work independantly (and there is a sliding cover inside in case it is too sunny I guess)

Lee

I thank you so much for your speedy reply! (I wouldn't want to get my head stuck or anything like that!)

Lee

Can anyone tell me if when closing the moon roof, it stops halfway closed, and you have to release the close button and resume pressing to get it completely closed? I took mine in to be looked at and was told "this is normal operation". I would like some feedback from other owners to ensur...

Lee

9100 km and have had since August 2002! Just took it in for the 10,000 km servicing today!

Lee

Yup-just checked the website! You're absolutely correct! Thanks for the tip!

Lee

Would RA really have come and put on the spare at no cost to me??I really did not know that. Guess I will read up on what is covered this weekend for sure!

Lee

It is always so much easier to laugh when someone else gets **** on! My sister got it at Busch Gardens a few years back, and I still laugh every time I think about it!

Lee

That's not funny Nervous, but your post sure gave me a chuckle! That would be MY luck!

Lee

$18 for tire repair, $10 to take off tire!! But at least I didn't need a new tire! (went to see dealer-had to see salesman-waited 20 minutes-no luck-had to go-will try again Monday)

Lee

a SCREW! $30 and is good as new (I hope!)

Lee

So is it really the proper jack, just not very well designed?

Lee

Has anyone had occasion to use their tire jack? I got a flat tire this morning-and when hubby went to change tire-he says the jack must be the wrong one-it is too big and doesn't fit where it is supposed to. If he has used it, it would have cracked the plastic molding. It doesn't look anything like ...

Lee

Saw my first one on Monday-did not like it at all! But it did catch my eye, I must admit-thought it looked a little like a cartoon car! Not my style, that's for sure!

Lee

So where did you stay in Mayan Riviera? Nice place?

Lee

I have started noticing this too! It didn't do it until recently and it locks up when braking-and NOT braking fast! I do feel it to be a safety hazard, because you can't turn to look for traffic-especially when merging. Nice to know someone else is having the same problem-I thought I was losing it! ...

Lee

I bought the weathertech mats-they fit perfectly and are very good quality. I especially like that they are black with red trim-so are a good match. But they were pricey-probably about $190.00 CA with taxes and shipping

Lee

Almost 4 months now and no contact or resolve to my problem-it seemed better over the very cold winter, but the car was plugged in all the time and I think this helped with the self-acceleration. I will be calling (again!) the local service mgr-updates-if any-will follow

Lee

All I can say-is go get em! I have been waiting for a response from the DSM here since December!! They haven't even bothered to call back (they are waiting to hear from engineers in California)-my car revs very high and does not slow even after idling for 8 to 10 minutes-over 2000 rpms. If I put in ...

Lee

They also had one in a Kiosk - Eaton Centre-closer to the Bay-that sells only cars (level 2 I think) It was yellow GTR

Lee

I have a relative who recently started as a sales rep for the local GM dealership. She wanted to buy a Vibe. They have been advised that they will not be able to get any more 2003's (your co-worker got the right info Frosty), and that they have to order when 2004's were available-but no time frame a...

Lee

Good to hear!!! It's nice when they really admit there's a problem!

Lee

My hubby feels the same way Twisty-that's why he recommended the Vibe to me (I had really not considered one until that time) We always bought North American-but the reliability thing does come into play.

Lee

I have a relative who sells for a GM dealership-they can't get ANY vibes! Have been told to try for 2004's when available only

Lee

I would be curious to know as well. Nothing of this sort was mentioned to me and I have bought 3 new vehicles from the same dealer. Maybe it is just a U.S. thing?

Lee

Congratulations! Thanks to all the contributors for making this such a valuable site for information. I have learned so many things, and I appreciate everyone's input. Happy Day!

Lee

Well BH, a lot of us Canadians can relate very well to many of the items noted in your post! I enjoyed it, and smiled!

Lee

I honestly think that there are a lot of loser's out there driving junk that just get off on dinging doors of nice new cars. I try to park next to handicap spots-since they are not always used, but if it's gonna happen-it's gonna happen, so try not to lose any sleep over it. Wouldn't it be amazing i...

Lee

Pontiac white stays nice-I have a 89 Grand Am that still looks great! Black seems to look dirty much faster.White would be my choice! (although I do love my shadow!)

Lee

7 months I've had my Vibe. It had 750 km on it at purchase time (brought here from another dealer halfway to Toronto) and I now have about 7500 km's (would be a lot more if I would let my kid drive it!)

Lee

That's pretty good! I had similar damage to my car and paid $2000.00 (Canadian) to fix! (they found some clips broken underneath the bumper that they did not notice until they took apart)

Lee

Hey Heather-maybe the guy read our posts here at Genvibe and took a hint!!

Lee

I really am sorry for you too. Take good care of yourself-that's more important than anything.

Lee

Have always wanted to go to Costa Rica. Hope you had a great time! Welcome back-we Canadians are VERY envious of you right now as we freeze our little ***** off!

Lee

Thanks-I will have it checked out. I also have the sound like you're trying to start a car that is already started sometimes. I know some people have talked about this on the forum and suspect it may be tied to the battery. Appreciate all the good tips on this forum!

Lee

I am anxious to hear if you ever hear from the DSM. I was told the same thing for other problems that I have experienced-in December. Those engineers for GM must be really busy!!Does your car ever make an ugly high pitched squeal after starting when cold?

Lee

Somewhat disturbing I must say!

Lee

Sorry Heather! Sounds a bit like a stalker to me! I would probably be mad, but on the other hand, I guess it is a compliment ( a bit off handed though!)
