Pontiac Vibe Power Train Automatic Transmission Safety Report | July 13, 2009
Reported on July 13, 2009
| I HAVE A 2009 AWD VIBE WHICH WILL, AT TIMES, UPSHIFT AFTER BRAKING CAUSING THE CAR TO LURCH FORWARD FOR A SECOND DUE TO THE UPSHIFT AND UPON TAKING MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND THEN APPLYING THE BRAKE AGAIN APPARENTLY DOES THE SAME THING AGAIN. IT ONLY DOES THIS AT ABOUT 30 TO 40 MILES AN HOUR AND MOSTLY WHEN GOING DOWN A MODERATE HILL I COME UPON NO MY WAY HOME FROM WORK. I HAVE ADVISED THE DEALER OF MY CONCERNS BUT THEY SEEM TO BE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO ADDRESS IT. THE PROBLEM IS CONCERNING ENOUGH TO ME THAT I WON'T LET ANYONE ELSE DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I HAVE NOT HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPROGRAMMED AS IT DOESN'T SEEM TO HELP FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ON OTHER COMPLAINTS. I HAVE HAD ALL THE OTHER UNINTENDED ACCELERATION ISSUES ADDRESSED AND IT IS NOT RELATED TO THAT PROBLEM. *TR | |
