Re: K&N CAI.. 2009 2.4L.. Poor MPG's

SeattleJeremy... Thank you for the advice... truth is... it's just my foot... I know I've kept the revs up every chance I get just to hear the noise... LOL In a week or two I'm sure I will be back to driving like a granny and she'll return to my normal mileage :D PS. No dash readout on mpg... I figu...

K&N CAI.. 2009 2.4L.. Poor MPG's

OK, So I installed the Typhoon CAI on my '09 Vibe with the 2.4L and 5 speed auto... Mileage on my 1st half tank has dropped to 25mpg from my usual 27-28mpg... Is there any way to tweak it so that that sweet noise starts around 2000 rpm instead of 3000+ rpm so I can try and keep my foot out of it a l...

2009 Blower motor removal..

I have a leaf or two stuck in the blower motor... got most out, but still have a slight hum at the high fan setting. Anyone have any instructions on correct removal for the 2009-2010... looks like maybe just a few bolts and drop it out the bottom, but I'm at work and haven't had time to look at it g...

Re: Recall Notice about the Window switches

Me three! Let's see, the list now includes: Transmission that shifts goofy when coming to a stop... Floor mats that will get you killed.... Gas pedal that will get you killed... Windows switches that will burn you to the ground... Steering column that will drive you crazy at low speed on bumpy roads...

Re: The Next Vibe Recall - steering system

Turns out my '09 seems to have the same rattle (now at 65,000 miles) but I haven't really noticed as I tend to run the stereo any time I'm in the car... LOL I think I'm gonna just save up all the recalls and do them all at once... still haven't gone in for the mats or pedal issues even though they s...

Loss of power? 2009 2.4L

Approaching 45,000 miles on my '09 2.4L automatic and have some strange symptoms in the last 3 months. Been totally problem free up until recently (if you don't count the busted radio knob).1st time, first cold morning of the year I went to start her up and she just turned over, kinda slow, like a l...

I just put a GT spoiler on my black '09. I don't have the receipt handy right now to see where I ended up purchasing it, but google "pontiac 19171937" and you'll pull up several. there are several places that have it right around $200 that'll be $220 or so shipped. The places down in the $...

Re: Acceleration Lag (star_deceiver)

Actually, I think it has everything to do with the 5-speed auto. I'm not sure the programming of the shift points is quite ready for public consumption and is the only gripe I've found with my new '09.In general, when in normal drive mode, I think it has very poor low throttle manners... it hunts on...

Re: 2009 Vibe GT acceleration (Ace Barker)

I have the base with the 2.4L and 5 speed automatic... mine does the same thing... When you first get on it, there is a bit of hesitation then a surge of power....It has to be the way the transmission is programmed, as the hesitation goes away if you put the shifter in manual mode. My understanding ...

Add me to the Cash for Clunkers club... GM practically gave me a new '09 vibe yesterday in trade for my 1993 Cherokee.There were only a couple Vibes within 50 miles of me.. a stripped down 1.8 and a fancied up Jet Black 2.4 with all electrics and 17" wheels.I opted for the full dressed 2.4 and ...
