I have 52,000KM on my GT and my clutch is completly gone. The dealership says its "normal wear and tear". I have never heard of any clutch needing replacement this early . Does anybody else have any problems with their clutch? How about tranny grinding noise when costing in 2nd and 3rd gear?

abyss gt

Not really. I went to Ken Shaw Toyota for an oil change and was denied service. The idiot at the service desk told me they wouldn't know what filter to use on a Pontiac. He's either ignorant and stupid or a #@!$%^*# #&hole.

abyss gt

I totally agree.Read about my experiencehttp://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=5703

So? What's happening? I can't wait to see the end result. I'm ready to buy!

Well, it's been two weeks and no answer form the dealership regarding the e-mail I sent to the president. I guess their service department is only as good as the dealership president is. They both SUCK!!! Maybe I'll send him another e-mail, perhaps not as courteous and civilized as the first one.Tha...

I have just forwarded a link of this page to Plaza Pontiac's President.If your reading this, Mr. President, please be aware that the customer service at your dealership is comparable to the service you get at McDonalds, NONE. Also be aware that I will be telling of this incident to anyone who does o...

Their "Certified Goodwrench Technicians" don't know how to rotate unidirectional tires! I left their service bay with the direction of the front tires going one way and the rear going another. As this is not enough, once the service was done, they took my car to the back of the lot and par...

Does anyone have 15" steel rims on a GT? Wil they fit due to the bigger rotors?

abyss gt

Too bad I'm in Toronto or I defenetly would volunteer. The matrix overlays on your website look amazing.Anyone out in San Diego or SoCal with a vibe, give this guy a chance.I want a set ASAP.Good work

The molding has plastic locating pins and is held with double sided tape from 3M. The secret is that the tape sticks lick stink to a monkey because of a spray called promoter, which is applied to the molding where the tape will be laid. I know this because I design and build the electrical panels th...

Anyone have a lot of wind noise coming from the driver's door (top rear) when driving at highway speeds? The seals are really thin and if I push on the door at the top, it will go in 1/2 inch further. Anyone have this replaced at the dealership? Just wondering if it's a common problem.

abyss gt

As I was reading the recent posts in the forums, I've noticed that GM service departments really SUCK. They make stupid mistakes and then don't want to fix them properly. Any recommendations on service departments? The closest to me is Plaza and Addison on Bay. I'll be going in for my first service ...

redtrdmatrix, falo sim.

Looks great. How much did they cost and much for the install?Do you know if they fit in a Vibe? I'm looking into the skunk2 coilovers but I keep hearing bad things about them.Feedback appreciated.

abyss gt

So what were the recommendations given?Thanks for the feedback.

abyss gt

I'm close to purchasing the skunk2 coilovers. Anyone have them installed in their Vibe? Pics/comments are greatly appreciated.

May 10th is perfect. I'm in.

abyss gt

The 4th is no good for me. I have a wedding to attend on the 3rd, meaning I'll have a nasty hangover til Monday. How about the weekend after, preferably on the Saturday?

abyss gt

If we can't agree on the east or west end, we could meet halfway, perhaps 404/weston. There's a Crapy Tire, Timmy's, Futureshop and a bank in case you need extra cash.

abyss gt

Does anybody know if the 16" steel rims from a matrix will fit on a Vibe GT?

abyss gt

I'm looking to buy the stock 16" steel rims from anyone in our area who has upgraded and doesn't need the originals anymore. I have a set of winter tires 205/55/16 and now need the rims (getting ready for next winter already). Let me know.

abyss gt

Spring is finally here. When do we meet?

abyss gt

It looks different, just like the vibe did the first time I saw it. I like it.

abyss gt

Never compared to Focus, a few times compared to Azztek. Now that really pissed me off; I hope the team who designed the azztek got fired. It is definitly the ugliest piece of crap iI've seem in my days.

abyss gt

Let us know what happens with the dealership.What about the plastic wind deflectors? Those don't touch the paint. Do they exist for the Vibe?

abyss gt

How does it feel when you go over small road imperfections? I find my GT a bit harsh already and I'm afraid lowering will make it much worst. I'd enjoy better handling but wouldn't stand a rough everyday ride.Please comment

abyss gt

I haven't seen the deflector but the bra looks UGLY. From my experience, if you don't protect the front end you're gonna get chips and then spend the money to fix them. If you get protection by using a bra (lol) you're gonna end up spending money in a paint job anyway. The paint in the unprotected h...

Thanks for the advice.I still would like to see some pics as well as get an opinion on someone who has already done this.

So to get back to the original question, does anybody know if it's possible to have the horn go with the lights?I like the noise confirmation as well.

abyss gt

Please keep me posted as when the next meet is to happen in the summer. I definitly will attend. I'm in the black creek/eglinton area

abyss gt

Thanks for the sympathy guys.She is finally home and I'm enjoying it so far, although with the summer radials I can't drive it when it snows. Next mod - 16" snow tires and steel rims.

Quote And I will add here, that you better not be *****ing about "GM's (removed) poor quality of the Vibe GT" in a few months/years if you have problems with the car...How the f#$@ would you feel if you paid 30,000 for a car that you can't drive off the lot? The powertrain may be Toyota bu...

abyss gt

No beeping. The car was traded between dealers, so it was driven to my dealer for a good 100Km. You guys are right about me being frustrated at GM, but put yourselves in my shoes!!! I couldn't even take it out of the parking space and already needed dealer service. I've had many bad experiences with...

abyss gt

problem fixed"shifter at console came out of shifter clip"I finally was able to take the gt to the hwy and boot it - WOWThis thing really flies. I especially love cruising at 100kmh, downshift to third and let her rip. Love the vvtl engine.

Does anyone have pictures of a 2" drop with 17" wheels?

Your info is greatly appreciated. I'll keep you posted with what happens on Monday

abyss gt

Thanks for giving me a bit of relief. Hopefully thats all there is to it. The funny part is you seem to know more about this car than the service department at the dealership. They have no idea what it can be. I have to wait until monday for the transmission expert to look at it.

abyss gt

yesterday I went to pick up my brand new GT. The anxiety was killing me. I signed all the papers and got in the car. Turned the car on and when I tried to reverse, the gear would not go in!!! Even first gear seemed to be third because the car would almost choak when I tried to go forward and I could...

Thanks for the help. Hopefully another member has already done this and can give me a better idea of what to do.Thanks once again

I'm not thinking of going to the track with it so as long as the handling doesn't change i'm OK. I'm more concerned with the bumps in the road

Any advice on how much the car can be lowered without greatly affecting the ride?

Has anyone lowered their vibe? What kit did you use and much did you lower by? I'd greatly appreciate pics of the end result.
