This morning when i pulled out of the driveway i noticed that it was pulling to the right. When i got out i saw that the right front tire was flat 2 hours and $15 later my vibe is back to its old self.. it was a nail or something like that. They didn't show me what it was.Don't like the jack, was a little hard to raise the car the first time.

On Friday the 13th I got two nails in each rear..........they were slow leaks so i used my plug in compressor in the power outlet in the console (the lighter is stuck in the dash one) I had to pump up my tires three time during the day before I could get into a tire shop. Then the power outlet dies on me. It was 4:40 pm before I could get it in the shop.....................$35 CDN...........(removed) me off.

How many miles did you have on your wheels? One of my tires had a deep cut in it's side and the belt was showing. I took it into discount tire and they got a new tire from Continental for 1/2 price because I only had 2,500 miles on them.

Hey old man winter, how long has your cigarette lighter been stuck? Do you remember the conditions on how it got stuck? Mine got stuck too, I used it to recharge the cell fone, and after I tried using it again, it refused to come out. Simply would not budge. I got it taken care of at the dealership when I had it in for maintenance.I don't smoke (ugh) so it wasn't a big concern for me, but it still shouldn't have gotten stuck. Anyone else experience this problem?

3 weeks now, I have not gone to the dealer yet to get it fixed. I only used it for the cell phone, and one day it got stuck.I now use the ac plug in dash with my home charger for the cell phone. The other power outlet in the console bin craped out when I was using a compressor to fill my flat tires. I should check the fuse as stated.

Well now that you mention itMy front right tire is flat tooThis happen over a fight with my brother in my car for godsakeI hit a curb trying to pull overUnfortunately I have to take the rim off and take it up to Discount Tire(I pray my rim isn't bent) In order to get it fixed, using the spare or even the 16's wont do in the front or else I'll do even more damage then what is already done.JEAOULSY IS A B---H
