Buyer’s Guide
NEW FOR 2008:
- Available OnStar Safety and Security Program
- Available side seat airbags
For 2008, the Pontiac Vibe is unchanged. It is a sister car to the Toyota Matrix, and both cars will be redesigned in the early part of 2008 as 2009 models.
The Vibe uses a 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine, mated to a five-speed manual transmission or optional four-speed automatic. Brakes are disc/drum and can be optioned with ABS; StabiliTrak electronic stability control and traction control are available.
Sold in a single trim line, the Vibe's standard features include 16-inch steel wheels, air conditioning, fog lamps, power mirrors, roof rack, variable intermittent front and rear wipers, floor console, floor mats, 115-volt outlet, rear cargo track system, fold-flat front passenger seat, 60/40 flat-folding rear seat, and CD stereo.
Available options include side and curtain airbags, power locks, 17-inch aluminum wheels, cargo cover, cruise control, power windows, six-CD stereo and leather seats.
An excellent alternative to a compact SUV, the Vibe drops in price from 2007 levels, and offers a small footprint and better fuel economy than many utility vehicles, but with excellent cargo-carrying capacity. The rear seats fold and form a flat plastic floor that contains tracks for movable cargo tie-downs. Compare it to other tall wagons such as the Chrysler PT Cruiser, Chevrolet HHR and Suzuki SX4, as well as the Toyota Matrix.

An airbag that does not work properly could create an increased risk of injury in a crash.
Corrective Actions:
General Motors will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to replace the passenger-front airbag assembly.

On certain vehicles, the passenger (frontal) airbag inflator could produce excessive internal pressure during airbag deployment. Increased pressure may cause the inflator to rupture, which could allow fragments to be propelled toward vehicle occupants, increasing the risk of injury. This could also damage the airbag module, which could prevent proper deployment. Failure of the passenger airbag to fully deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant. Note: This recall supersedes recalls 2013-116, 2014-301 and 2015-272. Correction: Dealers are to replace the front passenger airbag assembly with one equipped with a newly specified inflator.

Notification Type:
Safety TC
On certain vehicles equipped with a 1.8L MFI engine and a two-wheel drive transmission, the Engine Control Module (ECM) may have been improperly manufactured. There is a possibility that a crack may develop at certain solder points or on varistors on the circuit board. In most cases, if a crack occurs at certain points or on certain varistors, the engine warning lamp could be illuminated, harsh shifting could result, or the engine may not start. In some instances, if cracking occurs on particular solder points or varistors, the engine could stop while the vehicle is being driven, increasing the risk of a crash causing personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the ECM.
