Yes two major issues and I regularly changed the oil and only used synthetic. I also changed the tranny fluid and a coolant flush as recommended. Don't drive it hard I have three kids at the back. No this engine did not burn oil. Are there things I should ask about with a used engine? Certain tests ...

I have had a 2009 Vibe GT since I bought it new. It has 188,000 km A few months ago the engine overheated. The radiator cracked and melted. Thermostat was replaced. Later on the thermostat began leaking again and ii was replaced again. Now the car seems like is leaking oil as there is oil residue on...

So the initial assessment is that the radiator, hose, and overflow reservoir for the coolant all need replacement. The mechanic said he can't tell if there was further damage to the engine. Looks like one of the hose broke releasing the coolant.

For this vehicle besides the tempeerature gauge going high are there any other warning lights that would indicate an issue?

I started by 2009 Vibe GT today and it had difficulty starting. 2km into a drive in heavy traffic a rattling sound was heard every time I accelerated. I noticed that the temperature gauge was not working. Smelt some burning and then a lot of smoke came from the car. Oil and Tranny level okay. One of...

I'm making a decision for a Pontiac 2009 GT wheel size. My summer tires are on 17 inch stock rims. Questions 1. Cheapest I found was at Costco and veering towards the Michelin Ice. Should I get a 16 inch or 17 inch for the winter? 2. Also my existing ten year old winter rims are rusted that I purcha...

I'm trying to fit three car seats in my Pontiac Vibe 2009 GT. So far I have two Diono Radian RXT. One for my 7 year old the other for my 5 year old. I'm trying to fit a rear facing seat for my third child (12 months) and would like to purchase either. Clek Foonf or a Diono Radian RXT so that I can f...

I went to the dealer as I have a slow leak in a tire. Dealer said it was due to a previous plug leaking as well as the side of tire by the rim area. Offered to plug it up for $25 and "reseal" for another $25. Then I was advised that the tire was "old" (it's a 2009 Vibe GT) and ha...

Looks like Toyota sells them for 9.99 each.

The first dealer said that all they had was the blades including the frame for over 35 dollars. Meanwhile I'm seeing others on here buying it for 6 dollars for the rubber replacements only. Going to try Toyota as suggested.

I want to replace the wiper blades on my 2009 Vibe GT. I went to Roy Foss in Toronto and was advised that they didn't sell that. I did a search on archives and saw that members bought them at http://www.gmpartscenter.net/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Unfortunately they do...

I hear a loud creek when I turn the steering wheel when the car isn't moving or is moving very slowly during parking. Is this a sign of a potential failure or is this normal?

I stayed with Toyota and paid 20 bucks to crappy tire to replace them. Plus 50 bucks to repair two nails in the tire.

Sorry I talked to the owner and it wasn't a Protege but rather a Mazda 3.Also, went to Canadian Tire and they did not have the lug nuts for the steel rims. GM sells them for 3 dollars a piece. Toyota for 2 a piece. Any other place have them other than the expensive dealer in Canada?

From other posts I know that I must at least buy 16inch rims.Are there any advantages to buying 17 inch rims?Are generic 16 inch rims from a Mazda Protege compatible or do I have to buy GM rims?

A ringing/squeking sound is coming from the driver's side when I am driving at abour 60 km. Gets a little louder when I deaccelerate between 80 km and 60 km. Also comes on at about 100km.2009 VIBE Gt with only 1000 km on it. Any ideas what it is?

Sorry to resurrect this post but Magnus is one place to avoid. Sure he has posted some impressive numbers for Eagle Talons. However, there are major issues with dealing with them.1. They are very expensive. And unless you are willing to drop 15k to 20k they don't pay too much attention to you.2. Cus...

Has anyone arranged for a club discount with Krown? I hear that Igor at Lakeshore offers it to some of the Honda / Mazda forum users.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...l1116Anyone find them cheaper than this? Normally use the Michelin one's I buy at Costco but they tend to tear when my wife wears heels. Weathertech also seems very expensive.

Anyone successfully buy their Vibe from a US dealer?Was financing honoured with the purchase?

Looking for a VIBE GT or an AWD. How much did it cost for a 2009 all in?Any recommended dealerships? Any problems with the 2009 VIBE?
