Just wanted to say thanks! You all were spot on. Drove my Vibe today (temps were in the low 40s) & had no further issues.

Thanks again!

Thanks; I will try this. I think this may be the issue, because three of the four plastic hub caps were not on so, more ice/snow probably got in around the wheels during the storm.

Hi - Got four new tires 1 year ago. Also replaced front brakes (pads & rotors) the same month. No issues. A few days ago, I checked the tire pressure & put air in all four tires. I did not use the vehicle for 2 days due to a blizzard. When I took the vehicle out after the storm, the steering...

Changed the vale cover gasket to address the oil issue. Used Denso iridium plugs (original were NGK)....

Hi:I have a 2005 Vibe with about 65,000 miles. I have not changed the front or rear brakes. I have a scraping noise coming from the rear brakes only when they are applied. I have pulled the drums and there is plenty of thickness on the shoes. This noise seems worst when the vehicle is cold and or it...
