Pontiac Vibe Visibility Safety Report | June 06, 2008
Reported on June 06, 2008
| I DRIVE A 2004 PONTIAC VIBE. I WOULD ROLL THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT WINDOW AND IT WOULD MAKE A POPPING SOUND. BEFORE I COULD GET IT FIXED I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE FROM PONTIAC FOR THE DOOR BOLTS. SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE BOLTS AND IT STILL MADE THE NOISE. WITH THIS I TOOK IT UPON MYSELF TO FIND THE PROBLEM. I FOUND IT WAS THE DOOR CHECK CAUSING THE PROBLEM. IT WAS HITTING ON THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDOW,PUSHING THE DOOR CHECK DOWN MAKING IT SNAP BACK UP AND HIT THE WINDOW WITH THE CORNER OF THE CHECK. I MAKE MY LIVING AS A FIREFIGHTER I KNOW HOW CAR WINDOWS BREAK AND I AM AMAZED THAT IT HADN'T BROKEN! I REPLACED THE PART BEFORE IT HAD A CHANCE TO BREAK THE WINDOW. *TR | |
