Wow that is a great deal. I had a coupon and I still paid 250 for mine.

Jharrison

No way I got the Cortina as well.

I drove up to Columbus (a little over 2 hour drive) to buy baby stuff hoping that I would have room for it all. Not only did I have room for it all but I had room to spare. I had a car seat stroller combo, an extra base, a pack and play, a tote full of diapers, diaper bag, a few toys, and of course ...

I had a rough idle at stop lights in my old car. Come to find out it was just bad gas. Once I changed gas stations I never had the trouble again. I know a few people that had the same trouble.

Jharrison

No they didn't charge me. They also didn't charge me for the other six or seven times I had to take it in. I think they just wanted to get rid of me, but I wasn't gonna let up til they got it fixed.

Jharrison

Well, I took the car in and they "fixed it". They looked at it when I dropped it off and was like what do you know I bet that's what it is.

Jharrison

It had stopped rattling once and then it came back a few days later. I told them whatever they did was a step in the right direction. They didn't listen to me they just kept looking for other stuff and ignoring what they did to fix it in the first place.

Jharrison

I haven't been on here keeping everyone updated but ever since I got my car back it has had a rattle. I have had it in and out of the shop since I got it back. They can't find the problem. They said they took it all apart piece by piece and can't find it. They scheduled for the body shop manager and...

Jharrison

That would be great. Can you put more that one rod in at a time or do you have multiple holders.

Jharrison

Yes, i have a roof rack. That's a pretty cool idea, it wouldn't be to bad as long as you painted them so it would be obvious that it was just pvc pipe. I have seen some actual cases I guess i should compare prices of building versus buying.Thanks

Hi I do a lot of fishing and I have a few rods that don't break down and are about six feet or longer. They fit it the car but I hate having a fishing rod running through my car. I considered getting a rod carrying case and strapping it to the top of the car. Has anyone tried this or have any better...

Jharrison

The first year is definitely the hardest. Practice great communication. Don't nit pick about the little things, choose your battles wisely because in the end you are going to always be wrong.

Jharrison

I got it done today going to post pics real soon.

Jharrison

My hitch and wiring kit came in today. It only took like two or three days from the time I ordered it until the time I got it. I haven't installed it yet hopefully I will get a chance this weekend or at least by the first of the week. I'll post pics when I get it done.P.S. If you ever need towing st...

Jharrison

It looks really great. It has been raining like crazy since I got back so I haven't got any pictures taken. Once it stops raining and it gets a bath pics are sure to come.

Jharrison

I finally got the car back!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was done on Wednesday but I was out of town on business so today is the first day I'll get to drive it.

Jharrison

Yeah it's been about a month and a half now. The insurance company didn't recommend anyone it's where I bought the car at. I usually take my cars somewhere else but I thought I would give them a try, big mistake. In their defense though a lot of the parts have been on backorder. The big wig at the d...

Jharrison

As bad as I hate to even type this I still don't have my car back They ended up needing one more part (resonator for the breather box) and of course it is on backorder with no idea of a date. I am officially on my last nerve.

Jharrison

Still don't have it back. They are waiting on some stupid bracet for the fender well. It has been put on backorder. It is comming from PA and they have got a ton of snow at the warehouse. Don't know if I'll ever get it back.

Jharrison

The car is scheduled to be done today. I talked to the body shop manager and he said there would be no problem meeting that deadline. It started snowing here this morning but I will try to get some pics of the repairs up so everyone can see it.

Jharrison

There are a couple different brands that make a hitch for the Vibe, all of which are perfectly fine. I have always preferred the hidden hitch brand myself. The Vibe has a towing capacity of 1500 pounds. That is including the trailer. Oh and by the way welcome to the site and enjoy your Vibe.

Jharrison

I have my 2009 AWD Vibe in the shop for repairs after an accident. I had the guy run my VIN number and it is under the recall. He said after they body work is done they would let the service department fix the recall problem. If you have a dependable Pontiac dealer local I would just stop by and let...

Jharrison

Just an update. They sold my rental car so I had to get another one. It's a 2010 Sebring. It's actually really nice. They had a Vibe on the lot I thought I was going to get but it has been recalled so I couldn't get it. They hope to have my car done by mid next week. I'll keep ya posted.

Jharrison

That is your coolant over flow tank. I had some similar damage to my car as you can see by the photo. The tank on your other side is the washerfluid http://i953.photobucket.com/al...0.jpg

Jharrison

I got a call today letting me know that my parts are in and they are getting started on my car. They expect it do be done in a week or week and a half.

Jharrison

I'm now on the map. I see a million Vibe's on the road but i'm the only one in my town on the map

Jharrison

At first they gave me a Chevy Cobalt. I threw a fit because it was a piece of crap, and it was a step down from what the insurance agreed to pay for. So now I am driving a Dodge Avenger. It's ok for a rental car. The worst part is the smell. I hate the smell of cigarette smoke and wouldn't ya know t...

Jharrison

No, he doesn't know. He hopes they come in Monday. But he doesn't know for sure.

Jharrison

He didn't say. He said they were important as far as getting the job started so he wanted to wait til they came in.

Jharrison

I just got word that five of the parts to fix the Vibe are on backorder. So they no longer have a completion date. God this blows.

Jharrison

I talked to the shop manager. He seemed like a real perfectionist. He guaranteed me it wouldn't leave until it was perfect.The adjuster and I talked alittle about a settlement, he is supposed to contact me in a few days. The decreased value was one of my biggest concerns.

Jharrison

Hey man thanks for the help. There is an installation video on the etrailer website. My wriring skills are ok but i think i'll go with the plug in kind and just run the wire to the battery. The video made it look pretty easy. Of cousre they had a nice lift so they could get under the car nice and ea...

Jharrison

I'm not to worried about the cost since i'm not paying for it. I'm just glad he had insurance. Maybe I won't complain when the insurance bill comes anymore.

Jharrison

I got the estimate to get my car fixed. 7747.47. The adjuster said that was the highest estimate he has ever wrote for a parking lot crash. Oh well, i'm not paying for it.

Jharrison

I have seen a diagram on here about splicing wires and using a converter to wire for towing. And i found a wiring kit on etrailer part number 118460 that you just connect the current plugs and run some wire to the battery. What's the pros and cons of each method. I have never seen anything that you ...

Jharrison

Gallipolis is right on the border of the state. We are about twenty minutes from the Bob Evans farm. Right acrossed the river from Pt Pleasant which is where I grew up and home to the mothman.The adjuster said that was the largest dollar amount claim he has ever had in a wal-mart parking lot. He was...

Jharrison

Yeah the other guys insurance is paying for it.

I just bought my first Vibe Friday. It's an AWD and I love it. And Tuesday night someone hit me in the Wal-Mart parking lot doing $7747.47 worth of damage. I miss it already.
