This could be due to the exhaust pipe or the hanger hitting the hitch, and that looks like that may be the case for you. What I recommend is reading the help article I have linked for you entitled "How to Correct...

view full answer... - Is Heat Shield Modifcation Required to Install Curt Trailer Hitch # 12221 on a 2008 Pontiac Vibe
- The Curt hitch # 12221 is only a fit for the 2008 Pontiac Vibe GT models. Heat shield modification is only required for installation if the heat shield interferes with the hitch installation area.
If you do not have a GT model, then heat shield modification would not be required. I would recommend the Draw-Tite model # 24812, as this hitch does not require heat shield modification, and it includes a pin and clip, which would be required if you plan to tow a trailer. Ball mounts are sold...

- The Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, # 118458, does not require a direct connection to the battery when installing and can be used on your 2003 Pontiac Vibe GT.
However, the benefit of a system that does include a direct connection to the battery, like Curt Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, # 55057, is that it protects your vehicles sensitive wiring from too much amperage draw from the trailer lights, which could damage the electrical system on your 2003 Pontiac Vibe GT.

- We have not had the opportunity to take pictures of the Draw-Tite Class I Trailer Hitch, item # 24821, installed on a 2008 Pontiac G8 GT yet, but we do have pictures of the Curt Class I Trailer Hitch, item # C11138, installed on a Pontiac G8 GT. That's the picture I attached. The Draw-Tite is fairly similar but the crosstube sits back a little so it isn't as obvious.
In my opinion, if the GXP rear bumper/diffuser does not hang lower than the rear fascia on the G8 pictured on the # C11138,...

view full answer... - Installation of a Brake Controller on a 2009 Pontiac Montana Van
- On a 2009 Pontiac Montana Van the problem is that the installation of a brake controller can shut down the brake light system in the van. The red brake wire that is on the back of the brake controller is normally connected to the cold side of the brake light switch to activate the trailer brakes when the brake pedal is applied. If that red wire from the brake controller is connected to the cold side of the brake light switch on the Montana Van it will shut down the whole brake light system.
