Right now, 99,293 2009 and 2010 Vibes in the United States and Canada are part of Toyota’s floormat and accelerator pedal recall, according to GM. If you’re a Vibe owner, expect to receive a letter soon from GM explaining that you can take your car to a GM dealership once it has been informed from Toyota about the repairs to address the recalls.
The two recalls that affect 2009 and 2010 Vibes revolve around unintended acceleration. One recall is for floormats that can interfere with the accelerator. Toyota recommends removing the floormats until repairs can be made.
The other recall is for a potential faulty accelerator pedal, which could feel balky, stiff or slow to return to idle position. If your pedal suffers from any these symptoms, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says you should contact Pontiac at 800-620-7668 or visit GM’s owner center, www.gmownercenter.com.
Currently, GM says it hasn’t identified any incidents or customer complaints about stuck accelerator pedals with the Vibe. Like Toyota, GM has halted sales of Vibes, though at Cars.com we show only 13 Vibes in our national inventory.
