2003 CHEVROLET CAVALIER Complaints

THE CLUSTER BOARD HAS GONE OUT. IT DOES NOT LIGHT UP, THE SPEEDOMETER, THE FUEL GAGE AND RPM GAGE ALL DOES NOT WORK. CHEVY HAS ALREADY RECALLED TRUCKS FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT I HAVE A CAVALIER AND ON EBAY YOU CAN BUY A FIXED CLUSTER BOARD AND SEND BACK YOUR OLD ONE AND GET 100.00 BACK SO IT MUST BE A BIG PROBLEM NOT JUST MY CAR. *TR

WHILE EXITING THE HIGHWAY ON AN EXIT RAMP, MY VEHICLE, A 2003 CHEVROLET CAVALIER, JUST SHUT DOWN AND WOULD NOT RESTART. VEHICLE REQUIRED TOWING AND FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED. *TR

MY 2003 CHEVY CAVALIER, FUEL PUMP STOPPED WORKING WITH NO WARNING ON A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY. I DID GET OFF THE ROAD, BUT I UNDERSTAND THAT ALOT OF OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM . THIS CAR I HAVE OWNED FROM DAY ONE, AND NOT EVEN HAVING WARNING THAT THE CAR IS JUST GOING TO STOP RUNNING, IS VERY BAD. ALSO, I HAD ONLY 86,000 MILE ON THE CAR , HAVE TAKEN VERY GOOD CARE OF IT, & FEEL THAT THIS PUMP IS A DEFECT IN THE CHEVY PRODUCT. SINCE SO MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO THEM, WITH EVEN LOWER MILEAGE ON THERE CARS. THIS IS A VERY COSTLY REPAIR & VERY UNSAFE TO HAVE A CAR STOP DEAD ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. *TR

FUEL PUMP WENT OUT. I RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS TO BE A BIG PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR CAR. *TR

FUEL PUMP ON 2003 CAVALIER WITH APPROX. 66K MILES FAILED ABRUPTLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. CAR WAS PARKED IN A SHOPPING PLAZA PARKING LOT AND WOULD NOT START. HAD TO BE TOWED TO SERVICE GARAGE. *TR

I WAS MANEUVERING MY 2003 CAVALIER INTO A PARKING SPOT, AND IT JUST DIED. IT WOULDN'T RESTART, WE HAD TO PUSH IT INTO THE PARKING SPOT. THE DIAGNOSIS IS A BAD FUEL PUMP. AFTER RECEIVING A QUOTE FOR NEARLY $800, NOT FROM THE DEALER! I WENT ONLINE TO SEE IF I COULD GET AN IDEA OF COST AND AVAILABILITY FOR A NON-OEM PART. THE FIRST THINGS I FOUND WERE THE FORUMS WITH HUNDREDS OF UNHAPPY CAVALIER OWNERS. AFTER READING THE FORUMS, I'M THANKFUL I WASN'T IN TRAFFIC WHEN THE PUMP FAILED. I WAS UNPLEASANTLY SURPRISED TO SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. THE COST FOR THIS REPAIR IS SUBSTANTIAL; GM APPARENTLY KNOWS THIS BUT IS UNWILLING TO STEP UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR BAD DECISION IN CHOOSING THIS PART. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER AND APPLY WHATEVER PRESSURE YOU CAN TO MAKE GM ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ERROR. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU NEED MY HELP WITH THIS MATTER. *TR

THE FUEL PUMP ON MY 2003 CHEVY CAVALIER WENT OUT WITHOUT WARNING WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE 25 IN DENVER, COLORADO. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH DUE TO AN ACCIDENT. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO A MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP THAT WAS THE CULPRIT. I REALLY THINK THAT IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THIS ISSUE IS ADDRESSED BEFORE SOME GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DIES AS A RESULT OF THIS FAULTY PART. *TR

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2003 CAVALIER IN MAY OF 03. I DRIVE TO AND FROM WORK, A TOTAL OF MAYBE 14 MILES. I HAVE TAKEN EXCELLENT CARE OF THIS VEHICLE. OUT OF THE BLUE I AM STRANDED IN A PARKING LOT DUE THE CAR NOT WANTING TO START. I HAD 3/4 OF A TANK OF GAS, YET IT ACTED LIKE THERE WAS NONE. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. WOULD NOT START OFF OF TOW TRUCK. NEXT DAY, STARTS FINE. IT HAS TAKEN 3 DAYS FOR THEM TO FINALLY CONCLUDE IT'S THE FUEL PUMP! FIX = +$950.00!!!! I HAVE 34,000 MILES!!!! WE HAVE HAD VEHICLES MUCH OLDER THAN MINE AND WITH +100,000 MILES NEVER HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS RIDICULOUS! I AM PARTIALLY DISABLED DUE TO A SEVERE BACK INJURY AND NOW NEED TO WORRY ABOUT IF THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. PER PRIOR POSTS, SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN MORE THAN ONCE. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT PLACES NOT ONLY THE DRIVER'S LIFE, BUT THAT OF OTHER MOTORISTS. HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT CHEVY HAS NOT TAKEN ACTION? SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE! *TR

HVAC CABLE BENT AND THEN SNAPPED. NOW I CAN'T DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD & THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT SINCE I CAN'T SEE WHERE I'M GOING! *TR

MY SPEEDOMETER IS GOING CRAZY AND IS AT THE 6 O'CLOCK POSITION. NEXT THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WENT ALL THE UP AND BOTH OF THESE STAYED AFTER TURNING OFF THE CAR. THE CAR IS ALSO MAKE A STRANGE NOISE. *TR
