2003 CHEVROLET CAVALIER Complaints

I DRIVE A 2003 CHEVY CAVALIER WITH ONLY 31,000 MILES. I WAS DRIVING HOME AND THE CAR SPUTTERED AND DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY. I HAD TO WAIT FOR A TOW TRUCK TO TOW MY CAR OVER 30 MILES TO THE NEAREST SERVICE CENTER TO MY HOME TO HAVE IT FIXED. I PAID FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP. THE TOTAL COST FOR LABOR AND PARTS WAS 799.00, PLUS $135 FOR A RENTAL CAR DURING THE TIME IT TOOK FOR THE CAR TO BE FIXED. THE NEXT DAY, THE "TRAC OFF" LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR BEFORE. MY EXTENDED WARRANTY HAD JUST RUN OUT EARLIER IN THE YEAR. I HAVE BEEN CONDUCTING AN INTERNET SEARCH AND IT SEEMS THAT THESE CARS ARE PRONE TO THIS PROBLEM AND THE FUEL PUMPS ARE UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR RECALL. *TR

MY 19 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER DURING REGULAR DRIVING FROM WORK, CAR JUST DIED ON THE HIGHWAY. CAR HAS 60,000 MILES ON IT TURNS OUT TO BE THE FUEL PUMP AND AFTER RESEARCHING THE REMOVAL PROCESS.I NOTICED THAT EVERY CAVALIER FROM 01 ON HAS THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE FUEL PUMP. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURE DEFECT AND SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. *TR

I OWN A 2003 CHEVROLET CAVALIER LS SEDAN WITH APPROXIMATELY 86,300 MILES ON IT. WITHOUT WARNING THE CAR DIED AND WOULD NOT START ON A BUSY JULY 4TH WEEKEND ALONG I-55 NORTH BOUND NEAR LITICHFIELD, IL. I T WOULD NOT RESTART, AND SUBSEQUENT INVESTIGATION RESULTED IN THE FACT FINDING THAT IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP. APPARENTLY THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. I REQUEST THAT GM BE REQUIRED TO RECALL THIS MAKE AND MODEL TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM AND REIMBURSE OWNERS FOR OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES. I HAVE ALWAYS OWNED AMERICAN CARS, BUT AN SERIOUS CONSIDERING A TOYOTA NEXT YEAR. *TR

MY 2003 CHEVROLET CAVALIER WITH ~61000 MILES NEEDS A NEW FUEL PUMP; A FUEL PUMP SHOULD LAST MUCH LONGER THAN THAT. *TR

MY CAVALIER RAN PERFECTLY UNTIL THE OTHER DAY WHEN MY HUSBAND TRIED TO START IT AND IT WOULD START AND THE DIE. HE TRIED STARTING IT A COUPLE OF TIMES. SOMETIMES IT WOULDN'T START AND THEN SOMETIMES IT WOULD START THEN DIE. THE FUEL PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED. MY CAR HAS 85,000 MILES ON IT AND I BOUGHT IT WITH A SALVAGE TITLE IN JANUARY 2006. THE FUEL PUMP MY CAR HAS IT THE ORIGINAL MANUFACTURERS. *TR

I HAVE A 2003 CAVALIER AND I HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP AT 90,000MILES AGAIN !!!THIS IS SHAMEFUL 4 CHEVY , I SAVED MY RECIPE BECAUSE IT COST ME 600 DOLLARS TO FIX IT,GOOD BYE SUMMER SCHOOL LOOKS LIKE MY GRADUATION IS GOING BE DELAYED HALF YEAR. *TR

2003 CAVALIER CUT OFF AND WOULD NOT RESTART. CAR HAS 58,000 MILES ON IT. FUEL PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED. *TR

THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON MY 2003 CHEVY CAVALIER WENT CRAZY JUST BEFORE 40, 000 MILES. SOMETIMES IT WORKS, SOMETIMES THE GAUGES TAKE TURNS WORKING OR NOT WORKING, SOMETIMES NOTHING WORKS. SOME DAYS I DON'T KNOW HOW FAST I'M GOING, HOW HOT MY CAR'S RUNNING, OR HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE....NOT TO MENTION RPMS. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE, AND AT 40K, I FEEL IT'S A BIT PREMATURE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET CAVALIER. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN. IT THEN CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE SHUTTING OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, BUT WOULD NOT MOVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE FUEL PUMP FAILED. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY STILL AT THE REPAIR SHOP AND WILL BE REPAIRED. THROUGH RESEARCH, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT MANY CONSUMERS WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR CAVALIERS. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 10,480.

SEVERAL TIMES MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN UNABLE TO START DUE TO THE FUEL PUMP. THE FUEL PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED TWICE IN THE PAST 3 YEARS, AND AGAIN TODAY. IF THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN A 1/4 OF A TANK OF GAS AND IT IS PARKED ON AN INCLINE WITH THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE ABOVE THE REAR, IT USUALLY WON'T START. WHEN I AM BELOW A QUARTER OF A TANK, I HAVE TO PARK IT WITH THE REAR ABOVE THE FRONT ON AN INCLINE. *TR
