2005 Pontiac Vibe purchased just over 3 years ago. Approx 24,000 miles. Automatic tire pressure sensor keeps coming on even though tire pressure is fine. 2 trips to dealer and could not figure out problem. Dealer installed vehicle data recorder. Dealer says needs a new electronic balance control monitor? this car has less than 25K and it needs this part already. Never in an accident or had a blowout.

2005 Pontiac Vibe with defective rear camber/toe shims. Consumer states that the Goodyear dealer stated that also cross caster needed to be corrected. He never received a response in writing from GM about this problem. The consumer was informed the vehicle could not be aligned without the installation of rear camber/toe shims and it was designed that way by Pontiac.
