I HAVE A 2003 PONTIAC VIBE WITH 40,000 MILES AND THE ENGINE THREW A ROD. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THAT SLUDGE IN THE OIL CAUSED BY IMPROPER MAINTENANCE WAS THE REASON THE ENGINE FAILED. I BELIEVE THIS IS THE SAME ENGINE THAT IS IN THE TOYOTA VEHICLES THAT HAD THE PROBLEM WITH SLUDGE IN THE OIL. TOYOTA HAS AGREED TO REPAIR ENGINES IN TOYOTA'S DAMAGED BY SLUDGE IN THE OIL. PONTIAC STATED THEY WILL NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM. I BELEIVE THIS WAS CAUSED BY AN ENGINE DEECT AND IS NOT DUE TO POOR MAINTENANCE. *AK
HELLO MY NAME IS [XXX], I BOUGHT A 2003 PONITAC VIBE IN DEC OF 02 SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE MINOR PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR. I HAVE BEEN BACK AND FORTH TO THE DEALERSHIP SO MANY TIMES NOW I THINK THAT THEY THINK I WORK THERE. SINCE I HAVE HAD THIS CAR I HAVE HAD THREE HUB CAPS REPLACED DUE TO THEM TURNING A YELLOW COLOR (FROM SILVER). THE PASSENGER SEAT STARTED TO TEAR IN THE SEAMS..(I WEIGH 150 LB I DON'T THINK IM TOO HEAVY) THE SEAL ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW WARPED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED, NOW THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT IS STARTING TO TEAR AT THE SEAMS AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED, THE ENGINE IS STARTING TO CHIRP LIKE I HAVE FRIGGIN CRICKETS IN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR.....I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON WITH THIS THING BUT ITS DOWN RIGHT ANNOYING!...
WHEN THE BRAKES WERE DEPRESSED,THE ENGINE IDLED HIGH. *PH *JB
