Warrenty Issues for Vibe 2004?

Post by byounger »

Does anyone know if there are any service bullitins for 2004 GT Vibes?I have tried 5 times over the past 3 months to register my Vibe with GM's owners site and it will not accept my VIN number + Address even though they match up to the paperwork provided to me from the dealer. I have sent in 3 emails to GM support to find out why I can not register my Vibe. Anyone else have this problem. I am taking my Vibe into the local dealership to have the 1st maintenance done on it and I wanted to have them search for service bullitins that needed to be performed on my car. However I wanted to go with my own list first so I knew what issues they should be finding in their database.

The inability to register your VIN appears to be a bug in the OwnerLink system.I just called their customer service number, they asked me to fax a copy of my registration verifying I owned the car, and then they manually added my VIN in for me.Very helpful folks. 5 minutes on the phone and they fixed my problem!Give 'em a call!

Do they charge to get this info from TSB? Like to get the info first hand before the car goes to the dealer. Service Bulletin Num : 020137006 EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:AIR CONDITIONER.Service Bulletin Num : 01458 POWER TRAIN. I keep getting this error when I try to do the Doc search........ Proxy ErrorThe proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.The proxy server could not handle the request GET /prepos/files/Artemis/Public/TSBs/2003/SB-10000188-7700.pdf.Reason: Could not connect to remote machine: Unknown error--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Apache/1.3.27 Server at www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov Port 80 Other than that it says it will or could cost $38.73 They have that fee down to the penny.

I wouldn't bother. I quit using it when it kept telling me that maintenance items were overdue. Right now it lists this:Engine Accessory Drive Belt Inspection | Past Due Interval: At 60000 miles (or 48 months, whichever occurs first) then every 15000 miles (or 12 months, whichever occurs first) Next due at: 60000 milesNext due date: 10/7/2003 I have (according to the site) 16072 miles. How is this over due? I have about 15 things that are overdue. All of them are erroneous like the example above.

The bulletin for the a/c was for adjusting the cable on an 03.It doesn't come up in the regular technical bulletins for an 04.The other one is a preliminary information bulletin about a snap/click noise in the front axle when shifting.

I apologize, I misread.GM Owner Link does not provide you with TSB's for the vibe, only recalls.Sorry for the confusion.
