GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

Ok!It started today.On my way to work the whole body started vibrating around 80Kmh.And it was worst and worst when i accelerated.The hwy was clean so it can't be.The pressure good in the tires.So i called my dealer they cheking up tomorrow!Will see what happens.

Looks like unbalanced tire. Have you check if there`s any show stock in the rims? It can cause that kind of trouble. Otherwise, can be a balancing weighing who moded on the rim of totally get away.

I agree, sounds like you probably lost one of the weights off your rim. I had that same problem. i didn't hit anything, it just came off so they rebalanced, put a new weight on it and I was on my way. Hope this helps.

There was also an issue with early production Vibe/Matrix/Corolla loose rear axle or somthing...

I had this happen in the winter when snow and ice got packed inside the rim. Hope thats all it is.

Thanx guys for the help.I will check the rims inside tomorrow.And yes my steering wheel was shaking too!

Check the wheels to see if they aren't bent cuz that does cause vibration.

You guys were right.It was a bunch of snow.So i canceled my app ointment with the sevice department.I love Genvibe,and i love you guys!Thanks a lot!

I see that you were in a hurry typing too

I actually haven't spoken to you yet to make that assumption. I'm sure it's fine. I just figured that your finger weren't in sync with your mind.

Don't worry. I never took it personal. I know my English is sometine so-so and also I know some other times i type on the keybord a little too fast and i forgot to read again what i wrote.

next time take it too a car wash(indoor) and melt the snow, thats what i do.

Actually, I've had this problem lots as I live in the country and am often plowing snow with my car just to get out to the highway. I find going to an automatic car wash is the worst thing as it gets some of the snow out but not all (thus the vibration). The best solution I've found is to do the wash yourself by hand at a wand wash and spends LOTS of time washing the wheels and the wheel wells from every direction. I've also had this vibration start just by kicking off the big chunks of snow/ice that hang under the frame behind the wheels. Gotta just leave them there no matter how big they get until I can get to a car wash for the full meal deal!
