2007 PONTIAC VIBE Engine And Engine Coolingengine Problems

AFTER 27 SEPTEMBER 2010 "PONTIAC" FINALLY "OFFICIALLY" ADVISED OF "IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE" REGARDING MY 2007 VIBE, EQUIPPED WITH 1.8L MFI ENGINE AND 2 WHEEL DRIVE TRANSMISSION. ON 3 DECEMBER 2010, GM ISSUED A "PARTS AVAILABILITY UPDATE" TO DEALERS THAT REPLACEMENT PARTS WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL MID-JANUARY AND ADVISING DEALERS THEY WOULD BE ADVISED JUST BEFORE "RECALL NOTIFICATION LETTERS" ARE ISSUED. ON 11 JANUARY 2011, THE NHTSA ODI WEBSITE INDICATED THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OR ABOUT 14 JAUNARY. CONTACTED MY DEALER 11 JANUARY 2011 WHO ADVISED THAT MY VIN IS "NOT CURRENTLY LISTED A PART OF A RECALL." FOUND THIS ODD SINCE MY VEHICLE HAS ONE OF THE RECALLED ENGINE CONTROL MODULES (ECMS), SPECIFICALLY PART NUMBER 89661-02K30, WHICH IS ONE OF TWO PART NUMBERS FOUND ON ESSENTIALLY ALL 2007 PONTIAC VIBES AND TOYOTA MATRIXS WITH ABOVE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER NO SERVICE AT 1-800-762-2737...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC VIBE. WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED IT WOULD MAKE A CLANGING NOISE, AS IF IT WERE SHIFTING INTO GEAR. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACTUALLY SHIFT, BUT THE ENGINE WOULD STALL. SOMETIME THE VEHICLE WOULD ONLY ACCELERATE TO 15 MPH OR IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER AND ASKED IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS OR WARRANTIES BUT HE DID NOT RECEIVE A FAVORABLE ANSWER. THE DEALER DID NOT INFORM HIM OF WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.
