Pontiac Vibe Latches/locks/linkages Safety Report | July 08, 2011
Reported on July 08, 2011
| BROUGHT MY 2005 VIBE INTO A GM DEALERSHIP DUE TO PAINT BUBBLES ON THE HOOD. LEARNED IT WAS FROM MY HOOD RUSTING FROM THE INSIDE OUT. THE METAL LATCH ON THE INSIDE OF THE HOOD IS RUSTING OUT AND GM REFUSES TO REPLACE IT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN SEEN ON OTHER GM MODELS AND GM IS NOT WILLING TO PAY FOR THE FIX. THEY ARE REQUIRING THEIR CONSUMERS PAY HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX A POTENTIALLY LARGE SAFETY ISSUE. THE RUST CAN GIVE WAY AT ANY TIME AND CAUSE THE HOOD TO RELEASE WHILE THE CAR IS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. *TT | |
