And yet, it was hollow as it may never change again....

Congratulations!!!!
You can now use your trip odometers to keep count.

Did you have any major repairs on the way to this mile stone?

Awesome! I plan to drive my Vibe until it hits that milestone, but its going to take much longer in miles! I just hit the halfway point not too long ago.

Congrats BUT when converting it to compare for us down here in the states, you only drove it 186451 miles

Thus you get ripped off of some 113548 miles (182699 km) to where the odometer SHOULD still be registering! What were these brain dead engineers thinking when they designed this feature? Did they figure these cars would never last past 299999 km/miles? Oh well .... keep on driving and roll it over one more time

I've heard that a dealer might be willing to zero it out for you. Then you get to experience it all over again!

Keep rolling... Anything special planned for you Vibe after reaching the 300k milestone?

I had the automatic transmission replaced at 257,000 then again at 268,000 because the first used one was faulty (hooray for 90 day warranties). So far, so good on the 2nd one. I also found my gas mileage went up a little over 5% once the new transmission was in.

As a celebration, I had the two recalls done....and now my shifter light is out...

Badwrench service, when in doubt, avoid like the plague.

Congratulations! That's quite the milestone

!

I can't wait for a 2nd gen owner to reach this mileage so we can see whether the odometer will lock up or not...

So i pre-empted badwrench and spent the $1.90 for the PRNDL bulb and did it myself.

It took me about 45 minutes to take apart the gear shifter panel, locate the bulb, go to Toyota, get bulb, come home and re-install.

My opinion is badwrench does this recall without disconnecting the battery and it blows that bulb.

Lets see, my 2009 will be 6 years old on Jan. 12, 2015 with an estimated 34,800 miles.
At that rate I will hit 299,999 miles sometime in late 2060. At that time I will be I will be 117 years old.
