Pontiac Vibe Fuel System, Gasoline Safety Report | Feb 01, 2010
Reported on Feb 01, 2010
| THE ENGINE IN MY 2009 PONTIAC VIBE, 5-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION, OFTEN FAILS TO RETURN TO IDLE. THIS OCCURS WHEN THE ENGINE IS BOTH HOT AND COLD (ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE IS IN BOTH THE OPEN AND CLOSED LOOP MODE.) WHEN WORKING CORRECTLY, THE VEHICLE RETURNS TO IDLE AT 800 - 900 RPMS. WHEN THE VEHICLE FAILS TO RETURN TO IDLE, THE ENGINE REVS AT APPROXIMATELY 1,000 - 1,200 RPMS. I HAVE CONFIRMED THAT THE FLOOR MATS ARE NOT INTERFERING WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE PEDAL IS NOT BINDING IN ANY WAY. THIS HAS NOT RESULTED IN A RUN-A-WAY VEHICLE, AS IT IS A 5-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. *TR | |
