Pontiac Vibe Visibility Sun Roof Assembly Safety Report | Nov 06, 2004
Reported on Nov 06, 2004
| MY PONTIAC VIBE 2004 WITH SUN ROOF PACKAGE FIRST OF ALL THE FLOORING IN THE CAR HAD MILDEWED AND MOLDED. THE CARPET WAS REPLACED AFTER MANY TIMES GOING BACK AND FORTH TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED AT. THE FLOORING IN THE CAR IS WET ONCE AGAIN NOT FROM MOON ROOF THIS TIME BUT POSSIBLE AIR CONDITIONING TUBING THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE DAMAGED. THE CAR STILL HAS A VERY STRONG ODOR OF MOLD IN IT THAT WILL NOT DECREASE. I AM AFRAID THAT THERE MAY BE HARMFUL MOLD SPORES THAT MAY HAVE ALREADY GROWN FROM THE LAST TIME IT WAS SATURATED WITH WATER DUE TO MANUFACTURER DEFECT ON DRAIN TUBING FOR MOON ROOF. I PURCHASED MY NEW VEHICLE ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO AND I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE BRAKES LOOKED AT TWICE SINCE THEY WERE WARPED, THE LEAKAGE THROUGHOUT MY VEHICLE, AND THE FRAME NEEDED TO BE REALIGNED. I THINK THIS CAR IS A LEMON. THE DEALERSHIP SIEMANNS OF BRIDGEMAN MICHIGAN DID REPLACE SOME PARTS ON IT BUT ONLY AFTER BEGGING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE CARS STANDING WATER IN VEHICLE STARTED TO MOLD.*AK | |
