The check engine light came on. I was making a left turn at a traffic light and the car stalled in the middle of the intersection. I put the car in park and restarted it. Shortly thereafter the car stalled again while I was driving but I was able to make a turn into a parking lot. Also, the transmission will slip out of gear while driving the failure occurs randomly while driving. Was diagnosed as computer performance problem with po607 engine code.
2005 Pontiac Vibe electrical complaints

I bought this car august 2005 and it always had a start issue. It just wont turn over, but this problem can go for a couple of days before starting again. It will start fine some days and others it won't. Also was in a car accident rear ended a van and smashed up the car but the air bags didn't deploy at all. My insurance company stopped counting the damage after it hit $10,000. It was at an angle versus just straight on. Car has less than 20,000 miles on it. Main concern was the air bag didn't go off when the collision happened. Luckily everyone was fine. But what is being done about this two problems?
I bought a new 2005 vibe in september 2004. On several occasions, I will go to start the car and it will not start, just turns over.
The car has trouble starting, often taking two or three tries before starting. Will turn over for up to 30 seconds and then eventually start. Brought the car to the dealer and they found nothing wrong. The very next day the problem acted up again. Happens at least a dozen times per week upon trying to start the car. Thought maybe the cold weather had something to do with it, waited until the end of winter to have it checked out...still the same problem. Wanted the car to be serviced and fixed before the warranty runs out.
After warm up and driving on highway or in town, vehicle is shut off to gas up or enter a store for a few minutes and having trouble starting again. The vehicle will crank over and over sometimes about 30 seconds or longer before it will finally start. Not sure if it is vapor lock or something to do with the fuel pump? I have taken it in to the dealer a couple of times and of course it does not act up for them. I does happen quite frequently. I have also read online about this same problem happening to other vibe owners from 2003-05. I am requesting that someone look into this problem.
