GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

ours has been "loose" in the 03 for awhile now, but it's really minor, i figured the regulator would just eventually give... the window still functions perfectly except the glass moves a little too much, sounds good they're fix it for free though *shrug*

the rattle is typical but the bigger issue is the clunk or snap, like soemthing is going to break, and in some cases apparantly it has,,,,the window. Sounds like Pontiac in US is taking care of the issue but in Canada there has yet to be any recall... if any Canadians here anything .. Let the rest of us know eh..

Like I said I called Gm Canada about a month ago and they told me that I should be hearing something around the end of May....So Gm Canada knows about the US toyota and Pontiac recall.and as they told me, going to follow suit here in Canada.Here is hoping that they did not lie to me.

Was at my dealer on May 13th and we looked up my girlfriends Vibe and I got the recall info. 07273 - this is the number to identify the recall on gm's database. I have my parts on order and should be in this next week.

Hopefully you and I will find out.Dan

Just read that the recalls for the window should be starting today 5/21/08 (for the Pontiac)THE RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 16, 2008 TO TOYOTA OWNERS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MAY 21, 2008, FOR PONTIAC OWNERS. OWNERS MAY CONTACT TOYOTA AT 1-888-270-9371 OR PONTIAC AT 1-800-620-7668

My appointment is next week.wohoo.hopefully no more window rattles.

I just received my recall notice Saturday. Strange thing was that I had stopped by the dealership Friday and they said they had no confirmation that there was a recall at that time. I find that interesting how they did not know about it the day before I get it in the mail.

Somebody there knew about it, but had not yet passed it on to the person with whom you talked.

Got mine on Saturday, too. I'll call around and see if the dealers here know about it yet.

Vibe Dude, you say you are getting yours fixed .. Is that under arranty ??? I did not think the recall was issued in Canada as of yet..Hope the repair goes well..

LOL, I spoke to the shop manager. She acted like it was just a pending issue and not yet a recall. I will be calling Tuesday morning though, maybe even stop by there since the dealership isn't very far from me.

Got my Recall Notice letter on Sat. Will be taking it in next Monday.

just got mine today i already fixed mine because it was snapping up against the window about 2 years ago but ill have them fix it anyways haha

called to make my appointment today, but the service guy said they won't have the replacement parts for 2 weeks

i got my letter of recall notice in the mail the other day.. mine doesn't "seem" to be having the problem yet though...

im not gunna get it fixed i already fixed the drivers door so if it ever happens to the passenger then ill do that too

This is an official SAFTY recall, folks. If a check is run on your vehicle when you want to sell it, you might not get top dollar if it hasn't been done and officially recorded.

got my recall letter a few days ago, I'm going to get it done soon.

The dealership did set my appointment for this Friday since they didn't have the required parts. At least it will be fixed.

well, i went into my dealership to get it fixed today, but cause i woke up late by the time i got there the mechs were leaving in a bit. i scheduled an appointment for friday. hopefully they won't be backed up. i don't wanna hang out there for a few hours.

got my recall letter on Thursday , made appointment at the dealer and got it fixed today

Well my GF took her Vibe in today for the recall. It took about an hour and all is good now.

Glad to hear yours is fixed. I was just heading out the door for my appointment when the dealership called and said the parts didn't come in yet. So it is hard to tell when mine will get fixed. An hour isn't that bad either as far as a recall goes.

Got mine taken care of on Monday. Two other Vibes in as well as mine. I was home for an hour and the dealer called to say the car was done! Fastest dealer experience of my life!I do not notice any thing different and I did not have window issues to begin with but at least now I know it has the updated parts. As hskater26 stated above, everyone needs to have this done it is a safety issue.

Got mine done yesterday. For those of you who hear rattling sounds when your window is partly rolled down - good news, this does seem to fix that as well (I figured it would). Took about an hour at my local dealer, much quicker than I anticipated.

just noticed there's a similar thread going on in another section.http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=33044mods, maybe we should combine the two?

Here's my letter from GM Canada

I'm scheduled for this Tues. Both my windows are severely loose. i would recommend it to everybody. I bought the car used and have been wondering everyday when the windows would just fall into the door.On an additional note. The tech at the dealer said I'll have to leave the car all day as they change the window glass and windshield for this? I think he has his head up his A##. Think I'll check on this before I leave it. I think it is just a bolt replacement.This is from my post in audio forum any add'l help appreciated:I'm new here. I have a used GT w/ moon & tune option and have 3 questions.........-I have a blown speaker in the passenger/rear door. I found it easy enough to get to, but how do you remove the fasteners holding it in?-Once i am able to remove the speaker, Anyone got a line/suggestion on a reasonably priced replacement? Manufacturer and/or Part #?-Where is this sub woofer that I hear about? I've never heard one in my car and there are no adjustments for it on the audio menu.

Rivets make it easier on the assembly line but not for replacement. Manual states this "Drill out the 3 front door speaker rivets".

Took about an hour at my local dealer, much quicker than I anticipated.So since I don't have a 03/04 but have the the issue of the window making some moving noise when they are partially down, this fixes that problem then? Also what would this cost to have done because the noise is really starting to bug me?

just got back from getting this fixed. took about 1.5 hours to get done cause i think they were a little backed up. luckily i never had problems with this, but now i don't need to worry about it.

Finally got mine done Thursday. Drivers side still makes a noise like the window is hitting something though.

Quote, originally posted by mixer »Finally got mine done Thursday. Drivers side still makes a noise like the window is hitting something though.open it up. i have to do the same. as soon as i got the car back from them, my passenger speaker started to cut in and out. also, that little nub that covers the bolt by the handle got bent out of shape by them. ugh, gotta find a way to fix that.edit* as i was taking apart my door today to try and fix my speaker that mysteriously isn't working right after getting the recall done i noticed that the door was clicking a bit as it was opening/closing. well, one of the two bolts that are used to attach the joint to the door was loose!! i am so not going there unless it is to pick up parts anymore.

Uhh... I just got an e-mail from MyGMLink telling me to bring in my Vibe for the recall... Funny, it was traded in 2 years 1 month ago.
