Pontiac Vibe Power Train Automatic Transmission Safety Report | Mar 17, 2010
Reported on Mar 17, 2010
| I HAVE A 2009 PONTIAC VIBE. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE CAR DOUBLE ACCELERATES. WHEN YOU PRESS THE ACCELERATOR IT REVS UP AND THE CAR LURCHES FORWARD. IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW SOFT OR HARD YOU PRESS. I TOOK MY CAR IN AFTER THE RECALL AND HAD THE ACCELERATOR ALTERED BUT I STILL NOTICE THE PROBLEM. I ASKED THE DEALER TO CHECK THE BRAKES ALSO AND THEY SAID IT IS FINE. I DON'T KNOW IF ITS AN ENGINE PROBLEM BUT I HAVE ALWAYS NOTICED IT. NOW THAT THESE ISSUES HAVE COME TO LIGHT I AM VALIDATED THAT MY CONCERNS AND OTHERS WHO HAVE DRIVEN MY CAR ARE REAL. I AM AFRAID TO HAVE AN INCIDENT WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY LEAD TO INJURY OR DEATH. MY FIVE YEAR OLD RIDES IN THE CAR ON A DAILY BASIS WITH ME. PLEASE ADVISE ME ON WHAT TO DO. THANK YOU. *TR | |
