2009 Pontiac Vibe Vehicle speed control Problems

“Prior to the current recall campaign for sticky accelerator pedal, I have experienced three occurrences of that problem. All three times, the car has continued to accelerate, while I am braking at a stop sign. All three times, the pedal has successfully released. The recall letter came feb. 13, and the repair can be scheduled after february 22, 2010, so nothing has been done yet to correct the problem. …”

“Various lights come on in the dashboard, I forget now exactly which lights, but I think it was the ABS light, the vsc light, and the traction control light. This happens only for a few minutes in a month or so. When it happens, the abc, vsc, and traction control do not work (I tested it in a snowy parking lot). I went to salentine Pontiac a couple years ago, and they said that since it is so intermittent, they are not really likely to be able to find the source of the problem, nor know if they would have fixed it. …”

“Periodically (once or twice per month) the anti-lock brakes, traction control, and vehicle stability control will stop working for a few minutes. When it happens, the warning lights all go on. I tested the function in a slippery parking lot, so know the various features stop working when these lights go on. I looked in the internet and found several people have the same issue. They have been told it is everything from a bad gas cap to a connector on the brake sensor to a cracked computer circuit board. …”

“Sometimes when accelerating, it's slow to move, then a sudden jerk happens if I put pressure on the gas pedal. This happens when driving at lower speeds, I can be entering my garage or accelerating after a stop light or sign. Can be scary when it jerks during acceleration. The steering column is beginning to rattle and shake at about 45 miles sometime at lower speeds as well,a very rough ride on smooth pavement,feels like it's falling apart. The third issue has to do with the airbag indicator light staying on in both drivers and passenger sides while driving. …”

“Recall 10018 accelerator pedal sticking called GM on 11 feb and they told me that this recall did not apply to my car. Today, feb 13, 2010, I got a recall notice in the mail. They downright lied to me 2 days ago.”
