Purchased the 2009 vehicle used with 103,000 miles, car was decent at first.. now loss of power and the car shuts itself off constantly when going to start it. Makes a diesel sound very rough. Sometimes turns itself off more than once in one day or every other day. Garages have looked at the issue but nothing found !

My car started to stall and pull to the left almost hitting another car as I was making a right turn. I thought it to be just an aberation. I went to a parking lot away from the school to test drive my steering and try to duplicate the problem. Nothing happened, so I went to work and there was no problem. My job is about 12 miles from daughter school taking the back road and not getting on the highway. After work I took the interstate back home through some heavy traffic and there was no problem from downtown to my home aproximately 1O miles taking the interstate. As I was coming from off ramp I notice a litttle stutter and car powering down. I was able to drive for about 1 1/2 miles and the car almost came to a complete stall and started pulling to left. I press the gas peddle all the way down. All the panel lights came on ABS, engine, etc. I mean every single light. I pulled car in to amoca. He said it was throttle body. I got 2nd opinion. He said that did not sound right. He said take car to dealer. I am taking car to GM dealer to run diagnostics. I do not want to risk getting my child killed in this car.

Reported vehicle recall to GM Buick, cadilac dealership in morrowm, ga of recalls on vehicle. They stated my car is not on recall list. I asked them to fix problem and service department personnel said he can not help me. I feel I jeapordize my life driving a defective vehicle which is the same as Toyota matrix vehicle with all the same type of parts from Toyota and manufactured by GM. I feel I will be endangering my children lives if I continue to drive this vehicle with out the necessary fixes that need to be done to vehicle.

I bought a brand new Pontiac Vibe [xxx] and now got another recall in the mail to the ones I already had done in the little over one year I owned it!! ridiculous to buy a new car and have all these recalls and then I just had another safety issue a dealership had to do on my car in addition just a few weeks ago that was not a recall. Now another recall came. As a consumer and I buy a new car it would seem that there is a limit to the incompetence problems and recalls. I do not have time to mess w/ these constant recalls which is why I bought a new car to begin with so I dont have to worry about. What is being done about these poor vehicle products being pawned off on the consumer" why are we paying all this money for vehicles that recall every couple months for something else? where is the consumer being reimbursed for all the time and aggravation for the mishaps" it makes no difference if the parts/labor are no cost to me-my time and lack of a vehicle is costly. There is no excuse for this incompetence on this model at this point. I should either get a new car to replace this that actually runs properly or a large reimbursement of money for the lack of quality I bought. I want some answers and as a consumer this service is poor and any other company would be out of business for this many recalls and lack of quality.

Upon applying brake at stop light, car accelerated. Another time when waiting in driveway for garagedoor to open I applied brakes and the car accelerated. Both times nothing serious happened as I was a safe distance from anything in front and the brake worked. Both times in fall of 2009; car had about 7000 miles.
