2003 PONTIAC VIBE Complaints

DRIVER WINDOW SHATTERED AFTER LOUD NOISE. WINDOW SHATTERED IN MY FACE. DEALER WOULD NOT ACKNOWLEDGE GM RECALL AND PONTIAC HAS NOT BEEN HELPFUL. I PAID $350 TO GET IT FIXED. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION ON A BUSY INTERSTATE AND THEY DON'T SEEM TO CARE THEIR VEHICLE IS DEFECTIVE. *TR

NO ACTUAL FAILURE, YET. HOWEVER, FRONT PASSENGER ELECTRIC WINDOW CLICKS WHEN BEING PUT DOWN. IF THE WINDOW IS PART WAY DOWN IT RATTLES WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED (THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOES NOT). I AM SUBMITTING THIS AFTER HAVING READ THAT THIS PROBLEM IS UNDER INVESTIGATION AND POSSIBLE SUBJECT TO A RECALL. IT HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. *TR

OWN A 2003 PONTIAC VIBE, CAR RUNS GREAT, BUT HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH BOTH FRONT WINDOWS GOING UP AND DOWN, THEY WANT TO TRACK WRONG IN THE WINDOW GUIDE WEATHER GADGET AND FLUTTER LOUDLY AND VIOLENTLY WHEN TRAVERSING. LEFT FRONT DOOR WINDOW SWITCHPACK HAS LONG AGO FELL APART (THE BEZEL THAT HOLDS SWITCH FIRMLY IN THE DOOR PANEL) THIS CONDITION WAS ALWAYS WITH THIS CAR FROM DAY 1 OF OUR OWNERSHIP.
