2006 PONTIAC VIBE Electrical System Problems

I had my valve cover gasket replaced fuel injectors serviced and transmission serviced on 12/26/2022. When I picked my car up on 12/29/2022, I was checking my brake lights when the car started Idling up and down on it's own and the check engine light came on. I called the dealer and was asked to bring the car in and they would check it out. I returned on Jan. 2nd 2023 to address the concerns with my car. I arrived at approximately 0730 am. I WAS IN FORMED THAT MY ECM/PCM WERE FAULTY AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. I was my understanding that the 2005-2008 Pontiac Vibes were under recall for this issue. Would like confirmation on this subject. Concerned Owner.

MY 2006 PONTIAC VIBE WILL STALL WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS RELEASED TO BRAKE FOR A RED LIGHT. IT WILL ALSO INTERMITTENTLY IDLE ROUGH AND STALL, AND SOMETIMES NOT RUN SMOOTHLY. I HAVE REPLACED THE PLUGS TWICE, THE LAST TIME REPLACED WITH BEST POSSIBLE PLUGS. INCIDENCE DATE IS ALMOST DAILY. *TR

I HAVE AN 2006 PONTIAC VIBE A COROLLA/ MATRIX TWIN. IT INTERMITTENTLY STALLS AND SHIFTS SPORADICALLY OR UNEXPECTEDLY. IT USUALLY STALLS ONLY WHEN ITS BEEN WARMED UP. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT MIGHT BE THE ECM IN THE CAR HELP! THIS IS ONE OF MANY SPORADIC EPISODES SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2006. THE CRAZY SHIFTING OF POWER IN THE GEARS RATIO IS VERY INCONSISTENT. *TR
