2004 CHEVROLET CAVALIER Complaints

DT: CONTACT STATES THERE IS A WATER LEAK IN HIS TRUNK CAUSED BY THE CAR NOT BEING PROPERLY WELDED DURING MANUFACTURING. THE WATER LEAK CAUSES MOLD AND MILDEW TO FORM ON THE CARPETING AND THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. THIS MOLD AND MILDEW IS CAUSING ILLNESS TO THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE. THE SERVICE DEALER APPLIED SEAM SEALER TO THE VEHICLE, BUT DID NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THE INTERIOR AND CARPET HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE.. THE CONSUMER IS AFRAID TO USE THE SPARE TIRE BECAUSE THE WATER HAS CAUSED IT TO RUST. THE SERVICE DEALER STATED THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE INTERIOR AND CARPET AGAIN. THIS SERVICE DEALER CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS, AND STATED THEY WOULD NO LONGER WORK ON THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE THE CONSUMER PICKED UP THE VEHICLE TOO EARLY FROM THE DEALERSHIP. *AK

DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET CAVALIER. THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR AND CIRCUIT BOARD MALFUNCTIONED. NEITHER CHEVROLET NOR THE DEALERSHIP COULD UNDERSTAND WHY THE DEALER WHERE SHE HAD THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 39,000 MILES ON . THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ONLY WORKED INTERMITTENTLY. GM TOLD HER TO CONTACT NHTSA BECAUSE THERE WAS NO OPEN RECALL. THIS PROBLEM HAS GRADUALLY WORSE. THE VEHICLE WILL REMAIN IN THE REPAIR SHOP RIGHT UNTIL IT WILL BE FIXED. SHE SPOKE TO THE SUPERVISOR ABOUT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, AND MADE IT THAT IF SHE PICKED UP THE CAR FROM REPAIR SHOP THEN SHE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE . *AK

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK WITH MY 2004 CHEVROLET CAVALIER, 4 DR SEDAN, VIN #[XXX]TRAVELING ABOUT 45 MPH ON MONDAY, 8/8/05 DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS ,I LOOKED AT THE SPEEDOMETER AND LO AND BEHOLD IT REGISTERED ZERO. THE ZERO READING CONTINUED FOR UP TO 20 MINUTES BEFORE IT BEGAN TO RECORD SPEED. I BROUGHT IT TO LOU BACHRODT CHEVROLET THE SAME DAY AT 5500 N STATE RD. 7, COCONUT CREEK, FL 33073, TELEPHONE #(954) 247-3000, INVOICE [XXX]. TODAY, 8/9/05 AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING, AND THEREFORE COULD NOT REPLACE OR REPAIR THE SPEEDOMETER COMPONENTS AND RELATED EQUIPMENT. THEREFORE, NOTHING WAS DONE AND I WAS SENT ON MY WAY. I FEEL MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS ARE AT RISK IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN WHICH IT PROBABLY WILL SINCE THERE IS NO EXPLANATION FOR IT. IF I AM GOING THROUGH A SCHOOL ZONE AND NOT KNOW WHAT SPEED I AM TRAVELING AT, THIS COULD LEAD TO A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR THE CHILDREN, MYSELF AND OTHER MOTORISTS. *NM UPDATED 07/19/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
