What owners wrote

We bought a new pontiac vibe in april. On a trip tocleveland we found out it is not safe. There is not enough visibility in the rear because of a poor design. I had to avoid 4 potential accidents. The driver cannot see others approaching in ather lanes at high speeds. I complained to GM, but they have ignored me. I also complained to you in april. Has anything beed done?

Reported at 50 miles, April 2005

The drivers and passenger side power windows in my vehicle have been popping and catching in my car since I bought it. I took it to the dealer under warranty and they said it was normal. It has ruined my window tint on the drivers side and I as well as having the drivers side shatter on me one time. I am afraid this will happen again as it is still doing the same thing.
