Pontiac Vibe 2003 Exterior Lighting HeadlightsPontiac Vibe 2003 Exterior Lighting Headlights Review #10005009 PONTIAC VIBE 2003 car safety problem was reported on Jan 01, 2003.PONTIAC VIBE 2003, manufactured by General Motors LLC had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS . automatic headlights turn on in daylight - can't see dash. in the morning and evening when the sun is low and in your eyes, i wear sunglasses like most drivers. the automatic lights come on and dim the dash making it impossible to see. you can fiddle with the dash intensity and read it again, but it is annoying to do this all the time. the radio stays dim and is unadjustable by the dash intensity lights, making it impossible to see. you have to move your head to funny angles or remove your sunglasses to see the radio. i feel fiddling with the dash lights and/or removing your sunglasses to operate the radio are distractions to the driver and increase risk of accident. the dash lighting on the vibes is critical as it is because the dash lights must stay on all the time. this is because they are in a tunnel and you can not see them, even in bright light, without the dash lights on. couple in the fact that pontiac uses red backlighting for the dashboard and the dash gages are already at a sight disadvantage. throw in a touchy light sensor that turns on your headlights (and dims the dash) and it is not a good situation. the sensor is too sensitive and i noticed complaints on forums such as genvibe.com and matrix-vibe.net that make mention of the same problem. sensor should be disactivated or replaced with less sensitive type. i have a 2000 pontiac montanna with automatic lights and it works flawless. only comes on at dusk. never comes on with a low sun (dawn, dusk) shinning in your eyes. please note that my light sensor in my vibe is in the upper left corner of dash and it is not blocked in any manner. this location seems stupid for a light sensor also, as shadows from the a-pillar make it come in of the sun is blocked from the a-pillar. keith nelson.Pontiac Vibe 2003 problem was reported in MIDLAND, MI.

Pontiac Vibe 2003 Reports
1992 Pontiac Bonneville had Battery stolen& all cables cut. Have My 1992 Pontiac Bonneville had (the week before Xmas) the Battery stolen& the thieves cut all the cables to it. I have since re-installed the needed cable terminals & new Battery. When turning the key in the ignition, all light HELP.....my 2006 G6 sometimes it doesnt want to turn on if i hit the gas it"ll start but not without a problem I have a Pontiac Grand Prix, 2006 model. I recently hit a deer that was dead in the road. My car just quit. It turns over but won't start. It seems as if it isn't getting any gas. Someone told me it might have a safety feature that keeps the gas f my 2007 vibe drivers seat height will not stay in the highest position. After a day or two I have to crank it up again. Why won't it stay up? GM replaced the seat and it is doing the same thing... Anyone else have this frustrating issue? HOW IMPORTANT IS IT FOR 1985 GTV6 FIERO TO HAVE CRUISE CONTROL. DOES THIS AFFECT PRICE AND IMPORTANT FEATURE IN SELLING THIS VEHICLE? Started sputtering & check engine light flashed for a bit then went off. Still sputters but the warning light hasn't reappeared. ALL EXTERIOR LIGHTS WORK, EXCEPT FOR HEAD LIGHTS. ALSO, HORN DOES NOT WORK Check brake fluid level & all the brake lights. Especially the one in the back window. what would cause my 2006 g6 not to shift into overdrive I bought my '03 Vibe almost three years ago. When I purchased it from a private owner it was gorgeous but within the first six months of ownership a bubble developed in the clear coat of the paint on the back left next to the rear window. It qui my 2004 pontica vibe steering wheel vibrates or shakes when going 70 mph or above. It's not the tires or wheels, and suggestions? I think it may have to do with the brakes.
re-installed cable terminals & new Battery since. All lights turn on
(incl radio); turning key in ignition does not engage the Starter&
fails to start vehicle
also when i hit the gas it makes a weird kinda grinding noise....anyone have any ideas?
