File your complaints here.

Post by ken »

http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/ivoq/I did a search on the Vibe and surprisingly I did not find the most common problems I've seen discussed here...such as the chipping paint, the a/c not cold enough, the problems with the CD player, squeaky dash, etc. I did find quite a few on the "fat foot" or whatever it's called....where you step on the brake and the car accelerates apparently because the brake pedal and accelerator are too closely positioned. Never saw that one here. And I did find a few as well on the glare that makes it difficult to see the instrument panel and a couple lighting issues.

Hmmm That fat foot thing is new to me.. Sometimes I drive the Vibe with Army Jump boots and never really came accross that particular issue but none the less the site is a good find..

me too man. It happens less when normally driving and more when sitting at a very long red light. Sometimes I dont' even realize it's me till my passenger looks at me and says somethin like "D*mn, this isn't a hot-rod"Dave

I posted about the same website in March 2003. http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=3030 As a Canadian, it wouldn't accept my complaints... but Transport Canada did.

I just want to see the dam paint issue fixed. I put my Vibe side to side with my cousins matrix and mine looks like $hi*.
