1998 CHEVROLET CAVALIER Complaints

HAD TROUBLE WITH TRACTION LIGHT. CAR WOULD LOSE TRACTION EVEN WITH NEW TIREW ALL TIME BRAKES AND CAR WAS TOTALED IN CAR WRECK, AIRBAGS DID NOT COME OUT, AND DAUGHTER WAS HURT. IT WAS A FRONT AND SIDE AND BACK HIT AT 55-60 MPH, HITTING A RAMP DIRECT AND BOUNCING OFF, AND HITTING AGAIN ON AN INTERSTATE. VERY UPSET THAT AIRBAGS DID NOT COME OUT, WOULD OF PREVENTED MAYBE DAUGHTER FROM GETTING HURT SO BADLY. *AK

MY VEHICLE HAS TROUBLE DOING EVERYTHING A NEW CAR SHOULD DO. THIS VEHICLE HAS JEOPORDIZED MY FAMILIES SAFETY ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. HAVING THE HORN NOT WORK WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE PULLS OUT ON ME IS A SERIOUS MATTER WHICH SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO. EVERYTIME THE OIL IS CHANGED ON THE CAR THEY COME BACK AND TELL ME THE TRANSMISSION IS LEAKING AGAIN. OBVIOUSLY REPLACING THE SHAFT SEAL IS NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM ESPECIALLY WHEN IT LEAKS AGAIN 3000 MILES IN BETWEEN DEALERSHIP VISITS. HAVING A CONSTANT GASOLINE AND SULFER ODOR EMITTING FROM THE VEHICLE WORRIES ME ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING I HAVE TWO VERY YOUNG CHILDREN.WHEN BROUGHT UP TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY WILL NOT LOOK INTO THE MATTER ANYMORE UNLESS A ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. THIS VEHICLE WILL SHORTLY RUN OUT OF WARRANTY AND I BELIEVE GENERAL MOTORS HAS BLOWN OFF MY LETTERS, PHONECALLS AND E-MAILS KNOWING THIS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME IN THIS MATTER, SINCERELY CLIFTON COLE. *AK
