Problem overview

Some Pontiac Vibe owners report experiencing starting issues when the seat belt light is on, often due to a dead battery, which is a common culprit for this problem. Additionally, some owners have identified alternator issues as a potential cause, where the alternator fails to charge the battery properly, leading to difficulties in starting the vehicle. Others have encountered starter failures, which can also prevent the engine from cranking regardless of the seat belt light's status. It is crucial for owners to address these issues promptly to diagnose and resolve the starting problems effectively.
