Pontiac Vibe 2009 Vehicle Speed Control Review #10310847

PONTIAC VIBE 2009 car safety problem was reported on Aug 31, 2009.PONTIAC VIBE 2009, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . prior to the current recall campaign for sticky accelerator pedal, i have experienced three occurrences of that problem. all three times, the car has continued to accelerate, while i am braking at a stop sign. all three times, the pedal has successfully released. the recall letter came feb. 13, and the repair can be scheduled after february 22, 2010, so nothing has been done yet to correct the problem. the main reason for my complaint, (also based on extensive experience with cars), is that the conditions under which my car has malfunctioned, are not the conditions described in the recall letter. the letter says "over time, the internal mechanisms in the accelerator pedal may become worn. as a result of this wear, combined with certain operating and environmental conditions, friction in the mechanism may increase and intermittently result in the accelerator pedal being hard to depress and/or slow to return...." one occurrence was in the first 300 miles or so of ownership, and was in warm dry weather. at least one of the other two occurrences was before winter hit. my car also has only 4600 total miles on it, has been parked in the garage for weeks, and will not be driven until i think toyota or pontiac have actually solved the problem. in other words, my car does not have the miles on it to cause "wear," especially for the first occurrence of the problem, nor has it malfunctioned in the cold moist conditions that i have read are the conditions described in the recall letter. therefore, it is my strong opinion that the "sticky accelerator pedal" condition is not due to what the recall addresses. a more possible cause, is as i have read from some owners, one of the computers. *tr.Mileage was 300 miles.

PONTIAC VIBE 2009 car safety problem was reported on Feb 10, 2010.PONTIAC VIBE 2009, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . i drive a 2009 pontiac vibe (essentially a toyota matrix) and under the right circumstance the vehicle will upshift right after you put on the brake causing the vehicle to surge ahead for a moment due to the upshift. it only happens at around speed of 25-35 mph. this is obviously not a pedal issue but a transmission programming and or solenoid valve issue in the transmission. the car has been reprogrammed per the tsb for harsh shifting. i will admit that some of the harshness has gone away but the upshift issue while slowing down still remains. from what i have read many others have had this issue as well, even after the reprogramming of the transmission (check out genvibe.com, you will find other owners suffer from this as well). the issue is especially noticeable while coming down a hill and it happens to me almost daily because i go down a large hill outside of my house daily. i am very careful while going down this hill to have my foot on the brake at all times as the car can upshift at anytime causing a brief forward surge. there are always children waiting at the bottom of the hill for the school bus when i leave in the morning so i am concerned for there safety more than mine at the moment but as i said, i am always extremely aware of the issue and very careful while descending the hill. i would be willing to demonstrate this issue to anyone if needed. *tr.Mileage was 5000 miles.

PONTIAC VIBE 2009 car safety problem was reported on Mar 05, 2010.PONTIAC VIBE 2009, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . we purchased a new 2009 pontiac vibe (toyota, matrix platform) in april 2008. we drove it for nearly two years and accumulated a little over 20k miles. in early march, we returned from a six or seven hour trip and were going through a local car wash when suddenly and unexpectedly, the accelerator depressed under my foot and the engine increased in rpm's and the vehicle launched forward nearly hitting the vehicle ahead of us in the queue. in february, we had received the recall notices from gmc, but the local dealer had not received the repair kits yet and had postponed our repair until early march. we immediately took the vehicle into the dealer and on march 5, they made the repairs. when i asked what were the nature of the repairs and they explained that a shim was installed in the accelerator linkage and some floor matting was removed, i knew that the repairs would not solve the problem we experienced. (as a son of a used car dealer, and former mechanic myself, i knew the nature of the problem was not mechanical, and it was more likely either vacuum or electrical in nature.) therefore, in fear of some potentially disastrous future problem for my wife when she might be driving the vehicle, we immediately traded for a new 2010 ford fusion. i also wanted to trade the vehicle before it also became widely known publicly as a toyota, matrix clone, and the resale value dropped out of the bottom. sorry, but toyota, has a ways to go before they will convince me that the problem is strictly floor mats and accelerator linkage shims. *tr.Mileage was 20250 miles.

PONTIAC VIBE 2009 car safety problem was reported on July 09, 2010.PONTIAC VIBE 2009, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . my fianceé and i have experienced the sudden acceleration problem in her 2009 pontiac vibe both before and after the factory retrofit a shim in the throttle. both times we were going slowly (<20 mph) as we approached a stop sign and releasing pressure on the throttle did not cause the engine to slow. each time the problem persisted for 2-3 seconds. case i: clear day in february 2010 with good road conditions on level ground. the engine did not throttle back when linda took her foot off the gas and put it on the brake. for perhaps 2 seconds the engine raced. i had time to look at the tachometer and saw it was about 2500 rpm, with the gas pedal released and her foot firmly on the brake. perhaps two seconds after she released pressure from the gas pedal and applied the brake, the rpm dropped and the car came to a speedy halt. this pushed the car about 3 feet past the white intersection demarcation line before it stopped. the day before this happened, linda and i had removed the driver side floor mat. linda promptly took the car to her dealer and had the warranty repair to the throttle mechanism completed within a few days. case ii: friday july 9, 2010, was a clear day in july, much warmer, with excellent road conditions on a newly paved road. this time the transmission did not "gear down" as one would expect under normal operation, which i believe, kept the engine from racing. again as in the first case, for perhaps 2-3 seconds after linda had taken her foot off the gas and applied the brake, the vehicle resisted her attempt to make it slow smoothly. then the engine sound diminished suddenly, as the transmission executed a "hard shift" down and the vehicle came to a controlled stop, also several feet past the intersection demarcation line, but not really out into the intersection. last week, pontiac replaced the throttle assembly. *tr .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 29630 miles.

PONTIAC VIBE 2009 car safety problem was reported on Nov 01, 2011.PONTIAC VIBE 2009, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS LLC had a problem with WHEELS . our awd 2009 pontiac vibe came with factory chrome wheels. after one winter, the wheels began to corrode around the outside perimeter. gm agreed to replace all four wheels, and they did. soon after replacement, as my wife was driving into our garage, one wheel delaminated (i.e., the chrome covering separated completely from the aluminum underwheel). upon inspection, it looked as if the chrome layer had been glued to the underwheel. we went back to the dealer, chrome covering and glue fragments in hand. the dealer replaced this defective wheel with another; soon after (50 miles?), the second replacement wheel did the same thing. it has now been replaced. (the chrome parts are stamped "toyota.") note three things: one, the wheels on this car are not inexpensive steel with wheel covers. instead, they are one-piece chrome wheels, rather expensive if i should have to replace them myself. second, we had not abused the car. we drove, in each case, about 50 miles on good pavement in good weather before failure. finally, the chrome component delaminated in a "safe" area--in both cases, as we slowly drove into our garage. what if this delamination had happened while we drove at highway speeds, and the chrome component had spun off into a crowd, or another car? there is one other problem you should know. we have had trouble starting this car. in brief, the problem was apparently difficult for the dealer to diagnose, but it was a "cracked steering lock," also a part stamped "toyota." this problem precipitated several phone calls for help, pushing it from the side in an attempt to unlock the steering column/key, and a visit from the tow truck. we were able to rock the car ourselves and enable starting; unfortunately, we dented the front fender, which was an unreimbursed body repair at the dealer's ($800). please publicize these vibe problems and dangers, and work for fixes. *tr.Mileage was 30000 miles.

PONTIAC VIBE 2009 car safety problem was reported on Aug 01, 2011.PONTIAC VIBE 2009, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS LLC had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . when coming to a stop, occasionally the vehicle will lunge forward. i have noticed this on many, many occasions since purchasing the car in july 11. when coming to a fast stop (such as when someone pulls out in front of you or someone suddenly stops in front of you -- abs is not being used as these are not panic stops) the brakes will work as they should until the car is almost stopped and then the car will lunge forward and i suddenly need to apply more force to the brakes to make the car stop. i suspect that the computer in the car is using engine braking to assist in slowing down the car and when the car hits a certain speed (or some other variable) the engine braking is turned off which causes the amount of pressure that i need to apply to the brakes to suddenly increase which gives the impression that the car is lunging forward. regardless of what is causing this issue to occur, it is a safety issue. i have grown used to this issue and now can compensate for it, but it is still distressing when it occurs. i have talked to other vibe/matrix owners and they all state that they have the same issue. i believe that this is a significant safety issue as it could easily lead to an accident. *tr.Mileage was 48500 miles.
