| I just bought a 2004 Vibe that didn't come with power locks or windows. Does anyone know if it's possible to install after-market power locks/keyless entry? And how much does something like that cost? Also, can a dealer install cruise control? | |
The Vibe looks like it could be the perfect dogmobile with that big, easy to clean vinyl cargo area and leather option. But nowhere can I find a leather Vibe to look at. Can an owner please tell me if the leather is only on the front of the seats, or also on the sides and back? Comments from other dog owners welcome  P.S. Very sad that they're getting rid of the roof rack in the only 2009 model with leather available. I want both a roof rack AND leather seats.

Hi, I own a 2006 Pontiac Vibe. I take extremly good care of my car and recently had a collison with a 100 lbs deer, doing about 40 mph. I hit the deer in the very front head on. My air bags failed to deploy. After shutting my car off and then starting it the check engine light popped in. So when I drove my car home and then to the collison repair place it was determined that my computer fried. Now my insurance is trying to tell me that the computer frying is not accident related. Can they do that? We check recalls and the manufacturer and there were no "known" problem areas with the Pontiac Vibes. I still owe a good 15k on my vibe. Has anyone experienced then or does anyone have any advice? Waiting tranportationless kmachleit  laborready.com

I'm considering buying a 2003 Vibe GT. Does anyone know if premium gas is required or just recommended. I want to reduce my fuel costs and will not help if it is required.

Replying to: winout (Jan 07, 2008 2:54 pm) GT Vibe ~ What fuel do you use? 87 Octane in a GT Vibe GT and octane Is Premium fuel really necessary on the GT and Matrix XRS ? Assuming you purchase 10 gallons of fuel on average when you fill up, that's about and extra $2 each time. If you really want the performance of the GT, go for it. If you fill up once a week, your average annual cost to gas up the GT with premium fuel will be about a hundred bucks. Now, insurance rates may be a different story. Enjoy!

| Has anyone seen an improvement in the paint quality lately? Two vibes in the family, one silver ('03) one white ('05). Silver is holding up fine. The white (without clearcoat) is completely dead, despite regular hand wash and waxing, with the notorious pitting. Regional GM rep first blamed industrial chemical atmosphere (live near DC, no acid raid, no belching factories) then told me I must live on a gravel road (I don't). Then stated GM doesn't cover paint under warranty (vehicle still under original factory coverage). Dealer paint shop agreed paint was defective and willing to repaint under warranty, but GM Regional reps ensuring GM does not incur any liability for defective paint. | |
