Ntsb campaign 10v387000 we bought the car used. Within a week ck engine light came on. Scan returned code p0741. Possible cause defective ECM which controls torque cov solenoid. Took to gm dealer. They said a recall and tsb showed the ECM should be replaced. When they looked at ECM, said it had already been replaced under recall campaign, and they would only replace one time. Reset code, came back on a few weeks later. Is there any way ntsb can require they repair same defective part required under recall a second time? Especially if causing same problem and code as the recall was required for?

My 2007 pontiac vibe's check engine light came on back in september of 2010. I took it to my local dealership and the mechanics told me it was a PCM module. I was told that a recall was going to happen in october. October came and went and when I called gm they told me it would be in november. Each month I am told it will be the following month. Here it is ,march and still no recall. I am paying insurance,registration and payments on a car I can"t drive.the symptoms are hard shifting and some vibe owners have reporting stalling while driving 40 miles per hour. I commute 70 miles round trip and am afraid that it will stall so I have had it parked at work these seven months. I don't understand why the part is not available for gm but was available for toyota. I feel gm should have taken care of this along time ago.

2007 pontiac vibe has continuously produced a check engine light with code p0741-torque converter clutch. The vehicle acceleration is sluggish at times. This check engine light has come on at least 5 times, at which time I sent the vehicle to a gm dealer for repair. The vehicle was repaired twice under warranty and is in the shop a second time out of warranty for the same check engine light. Recently the gm dealer has been keeping the vehicle for at least one work week and has never produced any document showing any work was completed on the vehicle. Whenever I complete a longer trip I.e. 60+ miles the cel will come back on. I am not getting a straight answer on what is wrong with my vehicle. I have been assured that all parts and labor related to this error code will be taken care of free of charge because the preliminary incidents happened under warranty. I fear the check engine light will continue to come on, forcing me to lose a vehicle for a week in what seems like once a month. My car had a 5 year 80,000 mile warranty. The first cel came on at or around 75,000 miles.

I drive a 2007 pontiac vibe. About two weeks ago the car "stalled" out on me at an intersection. The car was running perfectly fine up into in came to the red light. When the arrow turned green my car would not accelerate. It wouldn't even "rev". There was no check engine light on but since I could not get my car to move forward (it would work in reverse though the transmission sounded horrible), I had to be towed. Once the tow truck dropped me off, somehow now the car worked!?! I drove it to a different repair shop (closer to my work). They changed/flushed the transmission fluid as a precaution. Then several days later on 3/12 it happened again. After leaving my home, I had stopped at a stop sign before trying to turn onto a busy street. When I tried to pull out the car simply would not accelerate. Instead I slowly rolled into the middle of oncoming traffic. My car would not respond and the dash lights were freaking out (ie flashing on and off). The emergency flasher lights wouldn't even work at first. After making it into the median, I was able to regain "control" and turn off my car. Thankfully it restarted and worked right away. I drove it back to the repair shop (this time the check engine light was on). The error code was p0607 and failure of the PCM. They recommended I go to the dealer for repair since its under warranty for that. At the dealership no one would explain what happened but they did fix it for "free". I am very concerned about the safety and reliability of my car. I see online many others are having the same problems with other vibes and toyota models. I feel this is a serious safety issue that I hope you will address.
