| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2004 pontiac vibe the rubber striping and molding on the driver's door keeps splitting and wearing out every 3500 miles. also there are 2 spots on the inside of the door where the paint is gone in 2 exact round spots from the door vibrating. i was told by someone other then the dealer that his could be caused by one of two things. either the body is flexing or there is a weld missing on the unibody. the flexing would be because of the sunroof. they (the factory) removes a beam to put the sunroof in and this causes a structure problem which is causing the possible flexing. the dealer replaced the molding once and gm is refusing to replace it gain. they had an engineer put the vehicle on a frame machine to see if it is straight. i have been advised that this is a safety and defect issue and should be extremely careful driving this vehicle. *ak |
