Ok. So I finally got mine replaced today as I had the day off. Took about an hour and a half. Only weirdness so far was a rough idle in the dealership parking lot when I first started it back up. Felt like a diesel truck. After about 5 minutes and turning it off/on again it went away. Made a couple ...

2007 Vibe owner here who received the PCM recall notice awhile back & forgot about it. Oops. Am debating whether or not to take it in now. Being someone who works with desktop computers sometimes I know it's often best to not try to fix things that are not broke. And the thought of taking the Vi...

Did anyone get the 2nd letter about the PCM? I got the recall warning back in October however have yet to see the letter saying parts are actually available. What about the work being actually done? "Brain surgery" on the car sounds rather serious. Does it take long/would I be able to wait...

Locked inside my car - strange issue

Has this ever happened to anyone else? A couple times since I bought the car a year ago I have pulled into a parking lot and turned my Vibe completely off. I'm sitting in the driver's seat getting my stuff together to exit the vehicle when all the doors suddenly lock around me. From inside the vehic...

Re: Advice on new tires? (Tammy09)

Ack! Still undecided on whether the info on tirerack or Consumer Reports should be considered more accurate. Tirerack has 100+ user reviews on the Dunlop SP 60 that are very positive and the treads look re-assuring, however CR doesn't rate the tire that high and says that the Dayton Quadra LE's are ...

Advice on new tires?

I need to get new good quality all season tires soon. Does anyone have an opinion on either Dayton Quadra LE or Uniroyal Tiger Paw as a tire? We get moderate snow for a few months during the year so I want something that will handle ok in it.
