Pontiac Vibe 2005 Vehicle Speed Control Review #10231583

PONTIAC VIBE 2005 car safety problem was reported on June 18, 2008.PONTIAC VIBE 2005, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . i have owned my 2005 pontiac vibe (auto transmission)for 3+ years. during this time period, on 4 separate occasions, i have experienced a problem with the vehicle speed control similar to those of other consumers (see complaint # 10117784 for 2005 vibe & #10207504 for 2006 vibe). while applying the brakes and almost at a complete stop, the engine speed (rpm) of the vehicle suddenly and unexpectedly accelerated causing the car to lurch forward. this problem has occurred twice while i was stopping at a 4-way stop intersection and twice as i was entering my garage. had i not shifted into park immediately during the garage incident that occurred yesterday, i believe i would have struck the back wall of the garage. if there had been cars proceeding through the intersection of the 4-way stop, i believe i would have had an accident. initially, for the first 3 instances,i believed that since i wear a wide shoe that my foot may have pressed on both the brake and accelerator pedal at the same time. however, since the incident that occurred at the 4-way stop intersection about 7 months ago i have been extra cautious while braking, making sure my right foot only presses on the brake pedal while stopping. since i experienced the problem again yesterday and knowing that i only pressed on the brake pedal, i believe that there is some other problem going on here with the engine/engine throttle system. it will undoubtedly be a difficult problem to diagnose since it is intermittent in nature. however, i believe it is a potentially serious problem with serious consequences to consumers. i will be taking my vehicle to my gm dealer service department next week for a complete vehicle inspection, but my gut feeling is that this is a "hidden" design problem that might not easily be found. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 14088 miles.

PONTIAC VIBE 2005 car safety problem was reported on Nov 01, 2008.PONTIAC VIBE 2005, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS LLC had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . in november 2008 my pontiac vibe (automatic transmission) started to shift harshly (literally slamming into gear), the check engine light came on and my mechanic pulled the code p2716 indicating a solenoid/transmission problem. the car was off warranty, but before i had any work done i called both the local pontiac dealer and gm (11/4/2008-documented). each said the same thing. there was no known problem and no recall. so i took the car to a transmission specialist and paid over $3200 for a new transmission. the car still shifted harshly and the transmission specialist did some research and found a toyota tech bulletin from 2006 that described the exact problem in the toyota matrix (sister car to the vibe-nummi plant). i asked pontiac about this and they still denied that there was a problem. this was also the time of the economic collapse and gm looked like it would go extinct. now, in sept. 2010, i get the recall notice admitting to the exact problem that toyota described in 2006. i was told to wait for the second letter before going to the dealer to check it out. the second letter came in feb 2011 advising me to go to the pontiac dealer to get the pcm checked. i did that but i already had the correct pcm from the initial failure in 2008. the failure of the now recalled pcm caused extremely harsh shifting which caused transmission damage (metal filings etc. in the transmission-documented) which led to a complete transmission repair job costing me $3275.45 as well as the replacement of the pcm. my transmission was ruined because of a known faulty part (pcm) that is just now under recall. the right thing for pontiac/gm to do is pay for my transmission repair caused by their faulty part. *tr .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 75000 miles.

PONTIAC VIBE 2005 car safety problem was reported on Oct 31, 2011.PONTIAC VIBE 2005, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS LLC had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING . while driving on the freeway during moderate traffic my 2005 pontiac vibe completely stalled and would not restart. after barely making it to the side of the road i called a tow truck to tow me to the dealership. i had went online while waiting for the tow and found that there was a recall for the engine control module that caused the same symptoms as i had. the dealership confirmed the vin and ordered the recall item. the next day they called me and informed me that they had installed the new control module and the car would still not start and they would need to dig further to find the cause. after digging more into it they called the next day (day 3) and told me that the exhaust camshaft was broken and recommended a new engine due to the amount of sludge and unknown factors with the current engine. the estimate of repair was $6100. i called my mechanic and he said that he could look and see if the camshaft could be replaced or if the engine did indeed need replaced. i had it towed to my mechanic (day 4) when i picked up the car at the dealership i was given a broken bolt that the mechanic said had been the problem. he said it had gotten lodged in a way that caused the camshaft to break., something he had never seen before. when i got it to my mechanic he said the same thing, "that bolt should never have broken and caused the camshaft to jam. i've never seen anything like this." when i ask what could have caused the bolt to break he said "manufacturer's defect. that's it, nothing else would cause a bolt in that position to ever break". he acquired a refurbished engine with about 30k miles on it and replace the entire engine (the cam/bolt had damaged the valves) for about $2600 and it runs fantastic. i was very lucky that when the engine stalled i could get through traffic and make it to the side without getting hit or causing more of a traffic jam. *tr.Mileage was 91255 miles.

PONTIAC VIBE 2005 car safety problem was reported on Mar 22, 2014.PONTIAC VIBE 2005, manufactured by General Motors LLC had a problem with POWER TRAIN . no warning lights - no problems with car - middle of intersection - very loud noise and car froze. towed to dealer - quoted $4800.00 to replace transmission. no other alternative available according to dealer. called gm who agreed transmission should not fail with a well maintained - low mileage vibe but since there is no recall there is nothing they can do other than "support the dealer's decisions." i expected this car to last for several more years. the trade in price is not much more than this repair price. driver was on their way to the highway and if this would have happened a few miles beyond where it did there could have been fatal consequences. with the current ignition recall issue that gm handled so poorly i am concerned that there could be an issue here that they just don't want to look at. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 55000 miles.
