The cabin noise really didn't bother me, I have window visors on mine which I think help deflect some of the wind noise.
Not having other issues, just replaced the battery this morning and start up is fine.
My grip is the a/c really doesn't run cold, and I have to pay for someone to look at it again.
I don't understand fast idle, I don't get vibration noise at going fast.Took the car to the Rockies and New Mexico the year before last and the Smokies and Myrtle Beach last year. Ran smooth as I first got it.

where would i find the how to by anaintn

Saw this on previous post and copied it but couldn't find what I should take with me to a firestone shop.
 
took my Vibe in today and had them check the AC. I showed them the report from abelj and they looked it up. The ID 841682 isn't the bulletin number but the repair manual page for the temp cable. The mechanic was able to look up the bulletins and find it. He found the same problem on my Vibe, it was set incorrectly and allowed for warm air to mix in with the AC. My receipt reads "Adjust air/mix cable per bulletin 02-01-37-006 Cools to 43 degrees on Road"
  
THIS VME STATES IF HVAC SYSTEM IS NOT GETTING COOL ENOUGH TO REFER TO SERVICE BULLETIN 02-01-37-006. ( NHTSA ITEM NUMBER - 10003884 )
HVAC SYSTEM (HEATING, VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING) SYSTEM DOES NOT GET COLD ENOUGH. ( NHTSA ITEM NUMBER - 10000188 )

Never mind, just took the numbers it to the dealer and they printed the tsa. Then I went to the folks who "fixed" my a/c last year. It registers 60 but really does not feel COLD, but way better than it was.
This board just saved me 800.00.
THANKS FOR BEING HERE !!!!!

vibe off-road? by sabrinad

Hi, I'm in the process of purchasing a 2004 5-speed base Vibe, replacing a Subabru Outback and was wondering if anyone has epxerience driving these on dirt roads/camping with them?
 
I know I am not getting the AWD so I have to be a bit careful about getting stuck, but wanted the better MPG's. I've travelled all over the world and find alot of regular cars do just fine on dirt roads. Any suggested modifications? Problems with ground clearance?

Have a 2006 Vibe and anytime it rains the power steering seems to stop working and the battery light comes on. Has anyone else experienced this and if so, what to do?
thanks,
kim

There should be a shield to protect the belt pulley from the puddle splash. I thought I remembered an early recall regarding this issue? Belt could also be stretched so even a slight lessening of friction due to moisture causes the slippage. 2006 is a bit early for it to be a true worn out belt issue.

My son put Dunlop Graspic winter tires on his Scion Tc.
They are absolutely wonderful in the snow.
But you need to change them for the summer.
You can find excellent tire ratings on www.tirerack.com.
They are VERY reliable and give pro and user ratings...
They actually helped him re-size the tire for the winter.
Many 55profile tires do not come in snow tread...
He re-sized to a 15 steel wheel to get snows.
All figured out for him by tirerack.com... Wonderful site.
Even if you decide to buy your tires locally....
