A Junk Title is issued on a vehicle damaged to the extent that the cost of repairing the vehicle exceeds approximately 75% of its pre-damage value. This damage threshold may vary by state. The majority of states use this title to indicate that a vehicle is not road worthy and cannot be titled again. Some states treat Junk titles the same as Salvage.
Manufacturer Recall
Automobile manufacturers issue recall notices to inform owners of car defects that have come to the manufacturer's attention. Recalls also suggest improvements that can be made to improve the safety of a particular vehicle. Most manufacturer recalls can be repaired at no cost to you.

Locate an authorized General Motors dealer to obtain more information about this recall. | Description: General Motors is recalling certain model year 2009 and 2010 Pontiac Vibe passenger vehicles. The accelerator pedal can get stuck in the wide open position due to its being trapped by an unsecured or incompatible driver's floor mat.
A stuck open accelerator pedal may result in very high vehicle speeds and make it difficult to stop the vehicle, which could cause a crash, serious injury or death.
Remedy: Dealers will modify the accelerator pedal and the floor surface in the driver's foot-well. On vehicles equipped with Pontiac Vibe All Weather Floor Mats, the driver's floor mat will be replaced free of charge.

Locate an authorized General Motors dealer to obtain more information about this recall. | Description: Toyota is recalling certain General Motors Pontiac Vibe vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the steering column assembly contains electrical connections to the driver's airbag module housed in a spiral cable assembly, which includes a Flexible Flat Cable (FFC). Due to the shape and location of the FFC's retainer, the FFC could become damaged when the steering wheel is turned.
If the FFC is damaged, connectivity to the driver's air bag module could be lost and the air bag deactivated. The failure of the driver's air bag to deploy in the event of a crash that typically necessitates deployment increases the risk of injury to the driver.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the spiral cable assembly free of charge.
| 01/24/2017 | | General Motors | Manufacturer Safety recall issued NHTSA# 17V006 Recall #N162017009 FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG Status: Remedy Available
Locate an authorized General Motors dealer to obtain more information about this recall. | Description: The Pontiac Vibe was manufactured by New United Motor Manufacturing, Inc. (NUMMI), a joint venture between Toyota and General Motors. Toyota has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in all 2009 model year Pontiac Vibe vehicles currently registered in Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia. As a result, GM is conducting a safety recall. These vehicles are equipped with front passenger air bag inflators which may have been manufactured in such a way as to have a potential for the intrusion of moisture over time. This could create excessive internal pressure when the air bag is deployed and cause the inflator to rupture. In the event of an inflator rupture, metal fragments could pass through the air bag cushion material, striking the vehicle occupants and result in serious injury or death.
In the event of an inflator rupture, metal fragments could pass through the airbag cushion material, striking the vehicle occupants, and result in serious injury or death. Until the repair is performed, the front passenger seat should NOT be occupied.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the front passenger air bag inflator, free of charge.
