What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2014 Pontiac Vibe, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

From owner reports, verbatim
WE HAVE CONTACTED THE 1-800 NUMBER ON SEVERAL LOCATIONS ONLY TO BE LEFT ON HOLD OR A MESSAGE WAS TAKEN AND WE WERE TOLD THAT SOMEONE WOULD RETURN A CALL WHEN THE PART WAS AVAILABLE. THE CAR SAT AT BOHN GMC LOCATED AT 3801 LAPALCO, MARRERO, LA FOR ALMOST A WHOLE DAY AND NO WORK WAS EVER DONE ON THE VEHICLE TO REPLACE THE AIR BAG. WE WERE NEVER CONTACTED WHEN THE "PART" WAS AVAILABLE. WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE FOR OUR DAUGHTER TO DRIVE, WHO IS A COLLEGE STUDENT, BEFORE WE KNEW THERE WAS A RECALL. IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT THE DEALERSHIPS ARE UNWILLING TO DO THE REPAIRS.
Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
