“I was driving my 2007 Pontiac VIBE. I had just started to accelerate when the car stalled. It would restart and then die. I had the car towed to the dealer from whom I purchased the car. They diagnosed the problem as an internal short in the ECM. The ECM was replaced and I have had no problems since. I was not given the old part.”
NHTSA complaint #10351529, filed 2010-08, 26,400 miles“I was following a bicyclist going about 20mph when my engine cut off and wouldn't restart. It was fortunate that I was able to coast into a driveway because I had just rounded a curve and any following vehicle would likely have run into me. The problem was computer failure and has been corrected.”
NHTSA complaint #10282517, filed 2009-09, 35,065 miles“I own an '07 Pontiac VIBE. On march of 2011 the car stalled pulling into a turning lane. Took a minute then started back up and drove about 5 miles. Later that day, the car stalled coming to a stop with all lights still on. Would not start at all that night and had to leave it stranded on the side of the highway. Next day, the vehicle started then made it about three miles to the nearest mechanic shop. They informed us that we would need to get the vehicle taken to a official GM dealer. That our PCM was the problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #10393530, filed 2011-03, 120,000 miles“Sudden acceleration when I slow down to stop for a red light with my foot on the break pedal. Suddenly, the car roared up to around 5000 RPM. I shifted the gear to neutral, but the engine was still roaring loudly for at least 3 to 5 seconds before it returned to normal. I have reported this problem to the dealer within the first year I bought the car. However, they could not find the problem. It seems that this only occurs 2 or 3 times per year. But this time it lasted more than 10 seconds and I noticed the RPM went up to around the 5000 mark. …”
NHTSA complaint #10381958, filed 2011-02, 6,000 miles“2007 Pontiac VIBE has continuously produced a check engine light with code p0741-torque converter clutch. The vehicle acceleration is sluggish at times. This check engine light has come on at least 5 times, at which time I sent the vehicle to a GM dealer for repair. The vehicle was repaired twice under warranty and is in the shop a second time out of warranty for the same check engine light. Recently the GM dealer has been keeping the vehicle for at least one work week and has never produced any document showing any work was completed on the vehicle. Whenever I complete a longer trip I.e. …”
