New/Old Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) for 2003 Vibe

[NSimkins]

Did a check on NHTSA.gov's website concerning Consumer Complaints and Technical Service Bulletins for the Vibe. They seem to have a few newer bulletins out including PDF's of the actual GM Voicemail Log that is sent out.The main area on NHTSA.gov's site is http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/.Here are some of the PDF's linked to specific problems. Pretty cool new feature: Transmission Fluid/Engine Performance: http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/TSBScans/sb629810.pdf ALC/Sunroof Operation: http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/TSBScans/sb629728.pdf Hub Torque Bolt Recall: http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/TSBScans/sb629861.pdf Auto Trans Shifting (temp. related): http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/TSBScans/sb629850.pdf Engine Cover/Sunroof Water Leak: http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/TSBScans/sb629757.pdfKeep an eye on that site, as well asTSB's: HereComplaints: HereRecalls: HereIf your Vibe exhibits these problems, definately print out all the information you can on the problem (NHTSA's document AND PDF) when you go into the dealer. The more info the better to help diagnose and remedy your problem.My suggestion, if you so desire , is to get a nice size 3-ring binder and add any and all information pertaining to repairs, warranty issues, upgrades, etc. to the book so everything you need will be easy to find, plus definately show people you care about your vehicle and are determined to keep it running optimally.

Most of that was old news to be except for the trans fluid type. I didn't know about that. Good thing to know. I guess the T4 fluid is Toyotas type.

quote:Most of that was old news to meMe too, but thought it was pretty cool to see the actual copy of the Voicemail Messages. It seemed to take awhile, at least for NHTSA, to get the info on their site. Glad it is finally there.New for some, old for some.

Official documentation is always nice to have when going back to the dealership.
