2004 CHEVROLET CAVALIER Complaints

MY 2004 CHEVY CAVALIER 2.2L BASE/SEDAN IS WELL MAINTAINED. THREE MONTHS AFTER THE PURCHASE THE FUEL PUMP STOPPED WORKING. REPLACED BY DEALERSHIP UNDER WARRANTY. A YEAR LATER THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED AGAIN. WARRANTY PERIOD OVER. COST ME $896. RECENTLY THE FUEL PUMP STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN AT THE INTERSECTION AND PROCEEDED TO MAKE THE LEFT AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE STALLED AND STEERING FROZE FORCING ME INTO THE LIGHT POST AFTER THE TURN. THIS CAUSED TWO OTHER VEHICLES TO COLLIDE TO AVOID HITTING ME. THE SERVICE GARAGE DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO BE THE FUEL PUMP. COST ME $750 AND $1900 FOR FRONT END DAMAGE. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP HEAD OFFICE AND THE DECLINED COMMENT. INSTEAD THEY BLAMED BE FOR NOT REPLACING THE FUEL FILTER. AGAIN, THIS VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN MAINTAINED AND SERVICED AT THE DEALERSHIP, AS WELL AS THE FILTER/FUEL PUMP. MY FRIEND HAD A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE 2 YRS AGO AND GAVE ME THIS WEBSITE TO FILE A COMPLAINT. 2 YRS AND NOTHING YET? THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING THE MANUFACTURERS AND ALL INVOLVED TO GET AWAY WITH THIS! AFTER DOING RESEARCH, THIS VEHICLE IS KNOWN FOR THIS PROBLEM. I WILL NOT SELL THIS VEHICLE AND WILL NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC FROM FATALITIES. THIS VEHICLE IS GOING STRAIGHT TO THE JUNKYARD. GOD BLESS AMERICA. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET CAVALIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WAS DEFECTIVE. THE SPEEDOMETER AND FUEL GAUGE FAILED TO OPERATE PROPERLY AND DISPLAYED INACCURATE READINGS. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED WITH 30,000 MILES. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 31,000.

2004 CHEVY CAVALIER. WHEN THE CAR SLOWS DOWN TO A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, OR YOU JUST REDUCE YOUR SPEED, IT WILL CUT OFF ON YOU. *TR

SPEEDOMETER AND OTHER GAUGES GOING HAYWIRE. AT TIMES I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT SPEED I AM GOING. I CAN BE STOPPED AT A REDLIGHT AND MY SPEEDOMETER READS 90MPH. OR I CAN BE KEEPING WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC ON ROUTE 30 AND IT READS 20MPH. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET CAVALIER. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE FUEL PUMP FAILED. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT HEARD A TAPPING NOSE IN THE HEATER AND THE CD PLAYER DOES NOT WORK. THERE WERE ALSO TWO MOTOR SWTICES REPAIRED IN THE WINDOWS. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 78,000.

THE FUEL GAUGE AND SPEEDOMETER FAILED FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS IN COLD WEATHER. I NOW HAVE 48,000 MILES ON THE CAR. THE CAR WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A DEFECTED INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND GMC TOLD ME IT WAS NOT THEIR PROBLEM AND THE COST TO FIX IT IS $480.00. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 CHEVY CAVALIER STOPPED WORKING CORRECTLY ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. IT WILL STICK AT RANDOM PLACES ON THE DIAL, EVEN WHEN NOT DRIVING, WILL NOT REGISTER THE CORRECT SPEED, AND SOMETIMES ROLL ALL THE WAY OVER, POINTING AT THE ODOMETER. THE TACHOMETER AND COOLANT TEMP. GAUGE STICK ALSO WHEN IT GETS COLD OUTSIDE. ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS SEEM TO GET BETTER WHEN THE WEATHER WARMS UP, BUT ARE STILL PRESENT. I HAVEN'T HAD THE MONEY TO GET THIS FIXED (ESTIMATED AT 700 DOLLARS) SO THEREFORE NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY DEFECT AND A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED! I HAVE READ MANY MORE COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER CAVALIER OWNERS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES! *TR

DEFECTIVE STEPPER MOTORS ON THE CLUSTER INSTRUMENT PANEL. NOW AFFECTING FUEL GAUGE,SPEEDOMETER,AND TACHOMETER ON ABOUT A YEAR NOW. JUST FOUND OUT WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. GM ALREADY RECALLED TRUCKS AND SUV'S. NO RECALL ON CARS YET. *TR

2004 CHEVY CAVALIER, SPEEDOMETER IS CRAZY 1999 CHEVY CAVALIER, GAS GAGUE IS BUSTED BOTH REPAIRS ARE EXCEEDINGLY EXPENSIVE/DANGEROUS, WOULD LIKE A RECALL. *TR

WHILE DRIVING IN MY CAR ONE DAY I INTENDED TO SHIFT INTO 3RD GEAR, BUT IT ONLY MADE A GRINDING NOISE. I CAN ONLY ASSUME SINCE THE NOISE PERSISTS EVEN WITH REV MATCHING THAT ITS A SYNCRO/CONE PROBLEM. I TRY TO SHIFT DURING THE PROPER RPM AREA, AND SOMETIMES IT WILL SHIFT WITHOUT A PROBLEM OTHER TIMES IT GRINDS. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY. IT HAD APPROXIMATELY 45,000 MILES ON IT THEN, NOW AROUND 70,000, STILL HAS THE ISSUE. *TR
