NHTSA Complaint #10663078 — 2007 PONTIAC VIBE

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND WAS STOPPED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THE CAR STARTED SHAKING VERY BADLY AND TRYING TO MOVE FORWARD, ALTHOUGH THE BRAKES WERE PRESSED ALL THE WAY DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED AGAIN OCCASIONALLY, AND HAVE NOTICED A PATTERN OF WHEN I AM STOPPED FOR ABOUT 10-25 MINUTES THE CAR STARTS VIOLENTLY SHAKING AND FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES ARE ABOUT TO GIVE WAY, ALTHOUGH THEY ARE BEING FULLY PRESSED. AGAIN, THIS IS NOT JUST A VIBRATION, THIS IS THE ENTIRE FRONT OF THE CAR (ENGINE AND ALL) ALMOST BUCKING OUT OF POSITION. WHEN THIS HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME, IT ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME EVEN THOUGH MY FOOT WAS PRESSED ALL THE WAY DOWN ON THE BRAKE. ANOTHER ISSUE, WHICH CAN BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE IS THE CAR IS LEAKING FROM THE RAIN OUTSIDE INTO THE VEHICLE BY THE FRAME (DRIPS). IF YOU DO NOT CHECK BEFORE THE VEHICLE STARTS AND WHEN YOU START DRIVING AND TURNING, THE DRIPS CAN GO IN YOUR EYES, CAUSING YOUR VISION TO BE IMPAIRED. *TR
