| Today i had the gas-pedal recall performed on my 2009 pontiac vibe. i immediately noticed it requires much less effort to depress the pedal - so much less, in fact, that i consider it dangerous. i got out of my car and complained to a service manager about this. he said they had done the repair exactly as the instructions called for and there was nothing more they could do. i feel that pontiac dealerships should replace the entire pedal assembly for those of us complaining about this, just as is being done by toyota dealerships with the matrix. after all, it's essentially the same car. | |||

| The engine in my 2009 pontiac vibe, 5-speed manual transmission, often fails to return to idle. this occurs when the engine is both hot and cold (electronic control module is in both the open and closed loop mode.) when working correctly, the vehicle returns to idle at 800 - 900 rpms. when the vehicle fails to return to idle, the engine revs at approximately 1,000 - 1,200 rpms. i have confirmed that the floor mats are not interfering with the accelerator pedal and the pedal is not binding in any way. this has not resulted in a run-a-way vehicle, as it is a 5-speed manual transmission. *tr | |||
