New Recall Letters from PONTIAC-Accelerator/Floor Mat Issue 7/16/10

Post by jd521 »

New Letters issued 7/16/10 on the fix from PONTIAC. Everyone should receive them shortly. I have received one so far for one of two 2009 Vibe GT's. Have an appointment already for mine on 8/11/10 and the the other one is scheduled the day before 08/10/10.It is a 33 page recall/fix issue in the work involved may take the dealer a total time of an honest 1.5 hours. They will supply a new floormat . So make sure your dealer has already ordered the floormat before taking into service. I suppose it will take about 3- 4 hours the way the dealer talked like. 33 pages of description and pictures describing what is to be done is a lot of technical data. No, we can not download the fix bulletin. i just was able to see it from the dealer.Be safe.

haha I received a letter from Pontiac about a week ago and totally forgot to look at it. I just opened the letter and it says "This letter is to inform you that we now have a repair to correct this condition."I already had the recall done a couple of months ago where they put a shim or something on the gas pedal. This letter I received talks about the floor mat only. Also says 1 1/2 hour of work so maybe they're doing something else besides replacing the mats?
