NHTSA Complaint #10358582 — 2005 PONTIAC VIBE

CAR BEGAN ROUGH SHIFTING AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TAKEN TO A GM DEALER FOR REPAIR. SYMPTOMS APPEAR TO BE RELATED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN 10V-387 (GM REF NUMBER 10282). INITIALLY, DEALER DENIED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL RELATED TO THE PROBLEMS DISPLAYED BY THE CAR. AFTER SENDING THE DEALER THE RECALL INFORMATION AND THE INITIAL LETTER SENT TO ME BY GM, DEALER ADMITS THAT THERE IS A RECALL, BUT NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX. THE ONLY SOLUTION OFFERED WAS TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH THE PROBLEM. DEALER WILL NOT ESCALATE THE ISSUE THROUGH GM. *TR
