2006 Pontiac Vibe. Consumer writes in regards to power train module recall notice the consumer stated on June 23, 2009, the PCM unit failed on the vehicle and it had to be towed. The repair shop was informed by the dealer, that the PCM unit was not under warranty, so the consumer had to pay $429.30. On September 9, 2009, the PCM unit failed again. The consumer went to the dealer, who informed the consumer that since the previous work was not performed at a dealer and he didn't keep the previous malfunctioning part, the replacement would not be covered by warranty. The cost was $605.92. The consumer is seeking reimbursement.
