The 2014PONTIACVIBE carries 1 consumer safety complaint in NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation database for this specific model-year cohort. Within that volume, owners reported 0 crashes, 0 fires, 0 injuries, and 0 fatalities. No NCAP 5-star crash-test rating is available for this model year in the federal database.
Component-level analysis is where model-year complaints become actionable: the top complaint category for the 2014 VIBE is air bags with 1 filings. Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability.
NHTSA currently has 17 investigation files overlapping the 2014 VIBE. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page — a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration.

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.
