Consumer Description

2004 PONTIAC VIBE THE RUBBER STRIPING AND MOLDING ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR KEEPS SPLITTING AND WEARING OUT EVERY 3500 MILES. ALSO THERE ARE 2 SPOTS ON THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR WHERE THE PAINT IS GONE IN 2 EXACT ROUND SPOTS FROM THE DOOR VIBRATING. I WAS TOLD BY SOMEONE OTHER THEN THE DEALER THAT HIS COULD BE CAUSED BY ONE OF TWO THINGS. EITHER THE BODY IS FLEXING OR THERE IS A WELD MISSING ON THE UNIBODY. THE FLEXING WOULD BE BECAUSE OF THE SUNROOF. THEY (THE FACTORY) REMOVES A BEAM TO PUT THE SUNROOF IN AND THIS CAUSES A STRUCTURE PROBLEM WHICH IS CAUSING THE POSSIBLE FLEXING. THE DEALER REPLACED THE MOLDING ONCE AND GM IS REFUSING TO REPLACE IT GAIN. THEY HAD AN ENGINEER PUT THE VEHICLE ON A FRAME MACHINE TO SEE IF IT IS STRAIGHT. I HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT THIS IS A SAFETY AND DEFECT ISSUE AND SHOULD BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. *AK
