Pontiac Vibe Electrical System Safety Report | Mar 08, 2006
Reported on Mar 08, 2006
| THE RED INTERIOR DASHBOARD LIGHTS TURN ON INITIALLY WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED BUT THEN TURN OFF, OCCASIONALLY TURNING BACK ON FOR A FEW SECONDS. WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE OFF THE ODOMETER, GAS GAUGE, AND ALL OTHER DASHBOARD GAUGES CANNOT BE SEEN IN DAYLIGHT OR AT NIGHT. I NOTICED THAT THIS STARTED OCCURRING AFTER I HAD THE CAR WASHED AND THE OIL CHANGED (HAD NOT PREVIOUSLY USED THIS GARAGE). IT APPEARS TO BE POSSIBLY A SENSOR PROBLEM. THE ONLY PROBLEMS THAT IT HAS CAUSED IS NOT KNOWING THE HOW FAST I AM DRIVING AND HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE. THE LIGHT WORKS THAT SHOWS THAT THE GAS IS CLOSE TO EMPTY. HAVE NOT TAKEN IT IN TO THE DEALER YET. *JB | |
