After 5 years of ownership, this thing is becoming a maintenance nightmare.
Had to replace a $.50 15 amp fuse ("CIG") today; blew it out when I hooked up a 12V compressor to the lighter terminal. First thing that I've had to fix that I don't consider "normal" maintenance or "wear & tear."Crazy reliable, my Vibe. Wish all cars were this well-designed & built...

I better get rid of my Vibe now before I have to spend $.50 on repairs! I just don't have that kind of money to be throwing away !

This is entertainment at it's finest And to think that these five years probably tallied up between 50 & 75k worth of miles on the Vibe! At my rate on my 09 GT (18 months old & only 7200 miles) I may have to wait TEN years till something goes wrong That would truly be a sin
