| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The problem with my 2003 pontiac vibe started in late december. i exited a state highway and when i got to the bottom to the ramp and started to stop at the traffic light i had trouble getting the vibe to stop. i ws pusing hard on the brake pedal and finally got it to stop and then realized that the engine was racing at high rpms. i quickly put the transmission in neutral and the tachometer showed that the engine was turring at 3500 rpms. it has happened 4 times since then and on 1/31/05 when it did it i was stopping at a stop sign at a busy intersection and this time when i put the transmission in neutral, the enigne was turning at 5,000 rpms. after a few seconds at this rpms the engine will return to its normal idle rpms. i have taken the vibe to the local pontiac dealership where it was purchased new. they attached their computer to the vibe and no message codes appear. they had it for 2 other days and could find nothing wrong with it. i am only concerned that one of these days it willo act up and i will not have enough time to react and will have a collision with the car or person in front of me or when my wife is driving it. the dealership states that pontiac motor co has not had any reports of the rpms increasing during braking like my vibe is doing. i am concerned about the sately of my family and others with this serious problem.*ak |
