THE PART THAT WAS USED TO REPAIR THE TAKATA PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DID NOT FIT IN THE SPACE OF THE AIRBAG. THE COVER FOR THE AIRBAG ON THE DASH IS PUSHED UP AT LEAST 1/2 INCH ABOVE THE DASH ON THE WINDSHIELD SIDE OF THE AIRBAG COVER. I WAS NOTIFIED OF THIS AFTER THE TECHNICIAN INSTALLED THE REPLACEMENT PARTS AND WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THESE WERE THE PARTS THAT WERE SENT TO THEM TO REPLACE THE PROBLEM AIRBAG PARTS.

TAKATA RECALL ON 5-6-19 MY PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG RECALL WAS DONE AT LUTHER CHEVROLET. ON THE WAY HOME I NOTICED THE RIGHT FRONT CORNER OF THE AIR BAG COVER APPEARED TO BE STICKING UP A BIT. I RETURNED TO LUTHER. IT WAS PRETTY LATE, THEY HAD MY CAR THE WHOLE DAY. (I DROPPED IT OFF THE DAY BEFORE) I TOLD THEM I WOULD RESCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT AT A LATER DATE. ON MONDAY NIGHT 6-10 I AGAIN LEFT MY CAR AT LUTHER SO THEY COULD "FIX IT" TUESDAY NIGHT I WENT TO PICK UP MY CAR TO FIND THAT NOW THE RIGHT FRONT CORNER OF THE AIR BAG COVER WAS FLUSH, BUT NOW THE LEFT FRONT CORNER WAS STICKING UP! EVENTUALLY, I SPOKE WITH CHRIS SHUGG, THE SERVICE DEPT. MANAGER. HE TOLD ME THAT THE REPLACEMENT AIR BAG WAS "TOO TALL" AND WOULDN'T ALLOW THE COVER TO FIT FLUSH AS IT HAD ORIGINALLY. (AT THIS POINT HE HAD UNKNOWINGLY ADMITTED IT COULD FIT FLUSH) HE THEN TOLD ME HE WOULD HAVE TO ORDER ANOTHER AIR BAG, AND I WOULD HAVE TO BRING THE CAR IN AGAIN, AND THIS WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. ON MONDAY NIGHT (6-19-19) I DROPPED THE CAR OFF AGAIN. I PICKED UP MY CAR TUESDAY AND THE LEFT FRONT CORNER OF THE AIR BAG COVER WAS STILL STICKING UP. SO I TOLD THE AVAILABLE SERVICE WRITER TO HAVE CHRIS CALL ME AGAIN. CHRIS DID CALL ME, HE THEN TOLD ME THAT THE DASH BOARD, OR THE AIR BAG COVER MUST HAVE "DISTORTED OR WARPED" DUE TO AGE AND IT IS "JUST A COSMETIC ISSUE", THERE WOULD BE NOTHING MORE LUTHER COULD DO FOR ME. I DID NOT AGREE WITH HIS OPINION, AFTER ALL, THE COVER WAS FLUSH BEFORE THE RECALL WAS DONE. HE THEN SUGGESTED THAT I CONTACT G.M. CUSTOMER SERVICE. I CALLED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE ON 7-2-19 I WAS GIVEN A REFERENCE NUMBER OF [XXX]. SHE TOLD ME A SENIOR ADVISER WOULD BE CALLING ME REGARDING MY SITUATION. I SPOKE WITH LISA ON 7-11-19 WHO ECHOED CHRIS' ASSESSMENT THAT THIS IS PURELY A COSMETIC ISSUE. ATTACHED IS A CURRENT PIC.

TAKATA RECALL. I'M TRYING TO GET A REPLACEMENT MODULE FOR A TAKATA AIRBAG...SAFETY RECALL 15406. WHEN I CALLED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR REPAIRS, THEY FOUND THAT ANOTHER CAR, WITH MY VIN NUMBER HAD THE REPAIR DONE IN HUNTSVILLE, AL. MY CAR AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO ALABAMA. THEY DENIED ME SERVICE. THE DEALERSHIP IN HUNTSVILLE IS CALLED BENTLEY'S GMC (I THINK).

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

ABLEOFF DEALERSHIP IS GIVING ME THE RUN-AROUND AND TELLS ME THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART TO FIX THE CAR. THEY TELL ME THEY GOT THE WRONG PART AND HAVE TO REORDER IT. THIS RECALL IS ALMOST A YEAR OLD. CAN'T HAVE A PASSENGER IS FRONT SEAT TILL IT'S FIXED.
MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 45 TO 50 MPH ON A ROAD WITH A POSTED SPEED LIMIT OF 55 WHEN ANOTHER CAR HIT A PATCH OF ICE WHILE COMING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY AND SLID INTO THE ROAD IN FRONT OF HER. MY DAUGHTER COULD NOT STOP IN TIME AND RAN INTO THE LEFT FRONT THIRD PART OF THE OTHER CAR. THE OTHER CAR WAS CONSIDERED TOTALED BY THEIR INSURANCE COMPANY. THE FRONT OF OUR CAR HAD SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE SO BECAUSE OF IT'S AGE AND BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE COLLISION COVERAGE I DECIDED IT WASN'T WORTH TRYING TO FIX SO IT WILL BE AUCTIONED AT A SALVAGE YARD. THE REASON FOR THE COMPLAINT IS THAT THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY CAUSING MY DAUGHTER'S FACE TO HIT THE DASH CAUSING SIGNIFICANT FACIAL INJURIES. ALMOST EVERYONE INVOLVED SEEMED TO THINK THAT IT WAS ODD THAT THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY SO WE THOUGHT WE SHOULD REPORT IT.

MY WIFE WAS THE DRIVER. SHE HAD STOPPED TO BACK UP AND SWING INTO HER NORMAL PARKING SPOT. SHE HAD BEEN PARKING IN THIS SPOT FOR ALMOST 5 YEARS. THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED FROM THE STOP AND THOUGH SHE APPLIED THE BRAKES AND PARKING BRAKE, THE CAR ACCELERATED 40' THROUGH OUR BUSHES AND KNOCKED DOWN THE NEIGHBORS CHAIN LINK FENCE BEFORE STOPPING. IT STOPPED MOVING BECAUSE THE FWD WHEELS WERE OFF THE GROUND AS THE KNOCKED OVER BUSHES RAISED THE CAR BODY UP. I WAS TAKING A SHOWER AND HEARD THE ENGINE REV UNCONTROLLABLY AND GRAVEL SPRAYING EVERYWHERE. IT WAS LOUD. WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR AND CANNOT IN GOOD CONSCIENCE TRADE IT IN OR SELL IT.

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 AND RECEIVED AN INCREDIBLY SELF-SERVING LINE OF "DOUBLE-SPEAK" CLEARLY DESIGNED TO NOT ADDRESS MY COMPLAINT. ESSENTIALLY, THE WAY THIS "GAME" WORKS IS THAT NO VEHICLE ALREADY KNOWN TO HAVE A DEFECTIVE ECM IS "OFFICIAL" IDENTIFIED IN GM'S DATABASE AS "RECALLED" UNTIL THEY ACTUALLY SEND OUT THE SECOND "RECALL" NOTICES - NOTICES THAT HAVE BEEN DELAYED OVER 4 MONTHS. GM WON'T EVEN ADMIT TO THEIR OWN DEALERS, MUCH LESS THEIR CUSTOMERS, THAT A GM VEHICLE WITH A DEFECTIVE ECM IS IN FACT DEFECTIVE UNTIL THEY HAVE PARTS IN HAD TO AFFECT THE REPAIRS. MEANWHILE THEY ARE DELIBERATELY LEADING THEIR "CUSTOMERS" TO BELIEVE THEY HAVE A "SAFE" VEHICLE, KNOWING FULL WELL THIS IS NOT THE CASE. IT IS NOW 9 APRIL AND THE NOTICES FOR 2007 AND 2008 VIBES HAVE STILL NOT BEEN ISSUED, A DELAY THAT IS NOW SEVEN (7) MONTHS AND COUNTING. AGAIN REQUEST A CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION INTO UNCONSCIOUSNESS PRACTICE AND APPROPRIATE ACTION TAKE TO COMPEL GM TO CEASE AND DESIST THIS DESPICABLE, IF NOT CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR! *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC VIBE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND CONTINUED TO ILLUMINATE WHILE TRAVELING, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SHIFT HARD. WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS NOT ILLUMINATED, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED PROPERLY. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V387000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE MANUFACTURER CONFIRMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE PREVIOUS RECALL AND OFFERED NO ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000.
I OWN AN '07 PONTIAC VIBE. ON MARCH OF 2011 THE CAR STALLED PULLING INTO A TURNING LANE. TOOK A MINUTE THEN STARTED BACK UP AND DROVE ABOUT 5 MILES. LATER THAT DAY, THE CAR STALLED COMING TO A STOP WITH ALL LIGHTS STILL ON. WOULD NOT START AT ALL THAT NIGHT AND HAD TO LEAVE IT STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. NEXT DAY, THE VEHICLE STARTED THEN MADE IT ABOUT THREE MILES TO THE NEAREST MECHANIC SHOP. THEY INFORMED US THAT WE WOULD NEED TO GET THE VEHICLE TAKEN TO A OFFICIAL GM DEALER. THAT OUR PCM WAS THE PROBLEM. THE CAR DID NOT START UP AGAIN AFTER THAT AND HAD TO BE TOWED THERE FOR THE COST OF 65 DOLLARS. I STARTED DOING MY RESEARCH ON THIS PART TO GET A BETTER HANDLE ON THE PROBLEM AND WHAT IS WOULD COST. I FOUND THAT THE "RECALL" FOR THIS PART ON '05 THROUGH '08 MODELS WAS TAKING PLACE. WHEN I CONTACTED TO DEALER ABOUT THIS THEY HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THE ISSUE, AND GM SAID MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. AFTER CONTACTING CUSTOMER SERVICE ABOUT THIS (A VERY TIME CONSUMING PROCEDURE) THEY ADMITTED THAT THERE WAS IN FACT A RECALL. AFTER THE CAR HAD BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR A WEEK I FINALLY GET A PHONE CALL TELLING ME THE PCM HAS BEEN REPLACED BUT THAT MY THROTTLE POSITIONING SENSORS WERE "OFF" AND THAT IT WAS TO COST $864. FRUSTRATED WITH THE SITUATION AND STILL WANTING TO EDUCATE MYSELF I KEPT DOING RESEARCH AND CALLING MECHANICS (SPECIFICALLY MY TRUSTED MECHANIC, NOT CON-ARTISTS) CONCLUDING THAT THE PCM FAILS AT ITS SOLDERING POINTS AND CREATES A GAP IN THE METAL CREATING AN ARC DESTROYING THE NEXT IN LINE, WHICH IS THE THROTTLE POSITIONING SENSORS. SO I CONTACT GM FURTHER TO GET THAT REPLACE BEING AS THE BAD PCM IS THE CAUSE. NOW THE CUSTOMER SERVICE AGENT HAS PASSED THE CASE TO HER SERVICE MANAGER. NOW I AM RECEIVING NOTHING BUT A RUNAROUND AND DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THEY CAN CONDUCT BUSINESS IN THIS WAY. MY HOPES ARE PRETTY LOW ABOUT THE OUTCOME.I HAVE BEEN CAR-LESS FOR TWO WEEKS NOW AND YES IT IS MY ONLY ONE. I WILL NEVER BUY A GM VEHICLE AGAIN. *TR
MY 2007 PONTIAC VIBE IS UNDER RECALL NOTICE GM# 10282. THEY HAVE TWICE UPON PHONE/EMAIL REFUSED TO HAVE THIS CHECKED. LOCAL DEALER SAYS VEHICLE HAS NO RECALL ON IT YET I HAVE CHECKED THIS WEBSITE AND MY 2007 VIBE IS UNDER THIS NOTICE. I ALSO HAVE A LETTER FROM GM 9-2010 STATING MY VEHICLE IS UNDER RECALL I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY FOLLOWUP FROM THEM IN REGARDS TO THIS. THE VEHICLE DOES RUN ROUGH NOW AND THEN IN THE COLD. *TR
VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO AVAILABLE REPAIR SHOP AFTER FINAL DIAGNOSIS PROBLEM WAS FOUND TO BE FAILED ECM MODULE REPLACED BY REPAIR SHOP. ECM RECALCULATED TO ELECTRONIC COMPUTER BY GMAC SHOP. NO FURTHER PROBLEM TO DATE AS THIS HAPPENED IN A SHOPPING STRIP MALL I WAS FORTUNATE AS I AM HANDICAPS AND HAVE DIFFICULTY WALKING.
MY 2007 PONTIAC VIBE'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON BACK IN SEPTEMBER OF 2010. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THE MECHANICS TOLD ME IT WAS A PCM MODULE. I WAS TOLD THAT A RECALL WAS GOING TO HAPPEN IN OCTOBER. OCTOBER CAME AND WENT AND WHEN I CALLED GM THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD BE IN NOVEMBER. EACH MONTH I AM TOLD IT WILL BE THE FOLLOWING MONTH. HERE IT IS ,MARCH AND STILL NO RECALL. I AM PAYING INSURANCE,REGISTRATION AND PAYMENTS ON A CAR I CAN"T DRIVE.THE SYMPTOMS ARE HARD SHIFTING AND SOME VIBE OWNERS HAVE REPORTING STALLING WHILE DRIVING 40 MILES PER HOUR. I COMMUTE 70 MILES ROUND TRIP AND AM AFRAID THAT IT WILL STALL SO I HAVE HAD IT PARKED AT WORK THESE SEVEN MONTHS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR GM BUT WAS AVAILABLE FOR TOYOTA. I FEEL GM SHOULD HAVE TAKEN CARE OF THIS ALONG TIME AGO. *TR
SUDDEN ACCELERATION WHEN I SLOW DOWN TO STOP FOR A RED LIGHT WITH MY FOOT ON THE BREAK PEDAL. SUDDENLY, THE CAR ROARED UP TO AROUND 5000 RPM. I SHIFTED THE GEAR TO NEUTRAL, BUT THE ENGINE WAS STILL ROARING LOUDLY FOR AT LEAST 3 TO 5 SECONDS BEFORE IT RETURNED TO NORMAL. I HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO THE DEALER WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR I BOUGHT THE CAR. HOWEVER, THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THAT THIS ONLY OCCURS 2 OR 3 TIMES PER YEAR. BUT THIS TIME IT LASTED MORE THAN 10 SECONDS AND I NOTICED THE RPM WENT UP TO AROUND THE 5000 MARK. CARS THAT ARE STOPPED ALONGSIDE MY CAR CAN ALSO HEAR THE ENGINE ROARING VERY LOUD.

AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS, SHE WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE WITH THE SERVICE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE COMPUTER FOR THE ENGINE AND THE BATTERY WERE REPLACED. ALTHOUGH THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE FAILURE UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V387000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT HER VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE DID NOT RECUR. IN ADDITION, WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING SERVICED FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED BY THE MECHANIC THAT THE PROTECTIVE SHIELD FOR THE FUEL LINE HAD FRACTURED FROM THE VEHICLE.

2007 PONTIAC VIBE HAS CONTINUOUSLY PRODUCED A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WITH CODE P0741-TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATION IS SLUGGISH AT TIMES. THIS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON AT LEAST 5 TIMES, AT WHICH TIME I SENT THE VEHICLE TO A GM DEALER FOR REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED TWICE UNDER WARRANTY AND IS IN THE SHOP A SECOND TIME OUT OF WARRANTY FOR THE SAME CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. RECENTLY THE GM DEALER HAS BEEN KEEPING THE VEHICLE FOR AT LEAST ONE WORK WEEK AND HAS NEVER PRODUCED ANY DOCUMENT SHOWING ANY WORK WAS COMPLETED ON THE VEHICLE. WHENEVER I COMPLETE A LONGER TRIP I.E. 60+ MILES THE CEL WILL COME BACK ON. I AM NOT GETTING A STRAIGHT ANSWER ON WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN ASSURED THAT ALL PARTS AND LABOR RELATED TO THIS ERROR CODE WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF FREE OF CHARGE BECAUSE THE PRELIMINARY INCIDENTS HAPPENED UNDER WARRANTY. I FEAR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL CONTINUE TO COME ON, FORCING ME TO LOSE A VEHICLE FOR A WEEK IN WHAT SEEMS LIKE ONCE A MONTH. MY CAR HAD A 5 YEAR 80,000 MILE WARRANTY. THE FIRST CEL CAME ON AT OR AROUND 75,000 MILES. *TR
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.
I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 PONTIAC VIBE. I HAD JUST STARTED TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE CAR STALLED. IT WOULD RESTART AND THEN DIE. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER FROM WHOM I PURCHASED THE CAR. THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS AN INTERNAL SHORT IN THE ECM. THE ECM WAS REPLACED AND I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS SINCE. I WAS NOT GIVEN THE OLD PART. *TR
I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MILES AND HOUR BUT TRAFFIC CAME TO IMMEDIATE STOP SO I HIT BRAKES TO MISS TRAFFIC AHEAD. IMMEDIATELY CAR WENT INTO SKID AND OUT OF CONTROL.

I DRIVE A 2007 PONTIAC VIBE. ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO THE CAR "STALLED" OUT ON ME AT AN INTERSECTION. THE CAR WAS RUNNING PERFECTLY FINE UP INTO IN CAME TO THE RED LIGHT. WHEN THE ARROW TURNED GREEN MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. IT WOULDN'T EVEN "REV". THERE WAS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON BUT SINCE I COULD NOT GET MY CAR TO MOVE FORWARD (IT WOULD WORK IN REVERSE THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION SOUNDED HORRIBLE), I HAD TO BE TOWED. ONCE THE TOW TRUCK DROPPED ME OFF, SOMEHOW NOW THE CAR WORKED!?! I DROVE IT TO A DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOP (CLOSER TO MY WORK). THEY CHANGED/FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AS A PRECAUTION. THEN SEVERAL DAYS LATER ON 3/12 IT HAPPENED AGAIN. AFTER LEAVING MY HOME, I HAD STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN BEFORE TRYING TO TURN ONTO A BUSY STREET. WHEN I TRIED TO PULL OUT THE CAR SIMPLY WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. INSTEAD I SLOWLY ROLLED INTO THE MIDDLE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. MY CAR WOULD NOT RESPOND AND THE DASH LIGHTS WERE FREAKING OUT (IE FLASHING ON AND OFF). THE EMERGENCY FLASHER LIGHTS WOULDN'T EVEN WORK AT FIRST. AFTER MAKING IT INTO THE MEDIAN, I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN "CONTROL" AND TURN OFF MY CAR. THANKFULLY IT RESTARTED AND WORKED RIGHT AWAY. I DROVE IT BACK TO THE REPAIR SHOP (THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON). THE ERROR CODE WAS P0607 AND FAILURE OF THE PCM. THEY RECOMMENDED I GO TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR SINCE ITS UNDER WARRANTY FOR THAT. AT THE DEALERSHIP NO ONE WOULD EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED BUT THEY DID FIX IT FOR "FREE". I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY AND RELIABILITY OF MY CAR. I SEE ONLINE MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH OTHER VIBES AND TOYOTA MODELS. I FEEL THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT I HOPE YOU WILL ADDRESS. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 PONTIAC VIBE AND HAVE NUMEROUS INCIDENTS OF SUDDEN ACCELERATION FROM 2007 THROUGH THE PRESENT. WHILE THE BRAKE IS FULLY DEPRESSED, THE CAR SURGES FORWARD. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON AVERAGE ABOUT EVERY 1,000 MILES. LUCKILY I HAVE NEVER HIT ANYONE OR ANYTHING. I HAVE LEARNED TO KEEP MY DISTANCE WHENEVER POSSIBLE. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES AND BECAUSE THEY ARE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM (I CAN'T DUPLICATE IT EITHER), THEY WILL NOT FIX IT. THE CAR COMPLETELY DIED IN AUGUST 2009 AND THE POWER TRAIN WAS REPLACED. THIS SEEMED TO HAVE STOPPED THE PROBLEM FOR ABOUT FIVE MONTHS AND I HAD THE PROBLEM AGAIN IN FEBRUARY 2010. THIS CAR IS TOYOTA BUILT AND I HAVE BEEN ALL THE WAY UP THE CHAIN IN GM WITH NO RESOLUTION. I HAVE EVEN CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY WOULD NOT HELP EITHER. *TR
