2006 Pontiac Vibe 4dr Hatch
126-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD
| 150000 mi US $34 |
Check engine light came on. Repair man said that the solenoid is going out. |
2006 Pontiac Vibe 4dr Hatch
126-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD
| 54000 mi | Check engine light came on. Same code as previous visit in which they replaced the PCM. This time they ordered and installed a torque converter part. Cost was covered 100% under GM extended warranty, including use of a loaner car. The same check-engine code showed up again (3rd time). 1st time they replaced the PCM, 2nd time a solenoid in the torque converter. This time they replaced the torque converter. Ext. warranty paid for it. Hopefully this finally fixes it. |
| 55700 mi | Check Engine Light code P0741 for the 4th time in 9 months. In 3 previous attempts to fix, they 1) replaced the PCM, then 2) replaced a valve in the torque converter and then 3) replaced the torque converter. This time they replaced the transmission. Hope that's it. Update: the replacement transmission fixed the problem. |
2006 Pontiac Vibe 4dr Hatch
118-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic AWD
| 39060 mi | Discovered oil leak on garage floor. Rear axle required new gasket. Repaired under powertrain warranty. |
2006 Pontiac Vibe 4-door
4-cylinder automatic 2WD
| 17000 mi | issues with transmission, and MAF sensor, cleaned air sensor myself |
| 23000 mi | Had another shop check the transmission, although the fluid was somewhat of a darker color, it was signs of normal city/highway use versus what the dealer informed me of. So the transmission didn't need a fluid change as of yet. I will probably have this |
