The Dealer said all they needed was the cars registration with the vin#. They told me I was the second one they ...

Re: So the recall for the evil pedal? (wgates)

I called Pontiac today. They put me on hold and contacted the nearest dealership. They came back and said that the dealership did not have the instructions on how to fix the problem and would not schedule an appointment until they did. I then called the dealerships service department. They said they...

I'm a new Vibe owner so for me it was too short of notice to make the trip. I'd consider attending one in the future.

Re: gas mileage (willysr)

In another thread somebody suggested that my mileage would improve once the motor broke in. I'm not sure by how much it might ...

Losing that center logo piece of the wheel

This morning I found the round center piece that pops into the center of the 17" Aluminum Wheel that has the Pontiac logo on it laying in the street near my car. (see picture) I popped it back in and it seems to hold. I drove the car today and when I got home it was still on the wheel. Is this ...

As I posted in another thread I got 31.7 MPG going to Cape Cod from Long Island and 29.2 MPG on the return trip. I had the AC cranked going both ways. I hit some traffic go...

Congratulation on your new Vibe. I have a 2009 carbon gray metallic Vibe with the 2.4 too. You are not being picky. When you buy a new car it should not have any dents in it.

Re: I am a soon to be Vibe owner (Mattsky)

Thank you all for the welcomes. Jake New York state, where I am does the same thing, they tax the price of the car before the rebates. If I still lived in New Hampshire I would have saved over $1,500.00 because they have no sales tax. The MPG will be a big improvement. My Bonneville only gets about ...

I have a Vibe on order and should be getting it on June 27th. It will have the 2.4L engine, automatic transmission, preferred package and 17 inch wheels. I was disappointed with the lack of rebates.
