1993 CHEVROLET CAVALIER Complaints

ABS SYSTEM WILL FAIL INTERMITTENTLY, CAUSING PEDAL TO GO TO FLOOR, AND VEHICLE WILL NOT STOP. PLEASE PROVIDE FUTHER INFORMATION.*AK

CONSUMER HAS REPLACED HEAD GASKET 2 TIMES ON 2.2LT ENGINE. EACH HEAD GASKET WILL ONLY LAST ABOUT 8 MONTHS. CAUSE IS UNKNOWN. *AK BRAKES, CALIPERS AND ROTORS FAIL EVERY YEAR. *YH

IN JUNE OF 1998 THE CYLINDER HEAD GASKET OF MY 1993 CHEVROLET CAVALIER LEAKED COOLANT. I PAID OVER $500.00 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IN THE CONSUMER REPORTS ISSUE FROM OCTOBER OF 1999, IT INDICATES THAT THIS DEFECT WAS COVERED ON A HIDDEN WARRANTY. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHO WAS VERY HELPFUL, THEN TO GM. GM TOLD ME THAT THE HIDDEN WARRANTY (BULLETIN 98054) WAS ONLY FOR 1995 CHEVROLET CAVALIERS. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE 1995 AND 1993 VEHICLES HAVE THE SAME ENGINE. IF GM IS GOING TO PAY TO FIX THE 1995, THEN IT SHOULD COVER THE SAME DEFECT IN THE SAME ENGINE OF THE 1993. I WAS TOLD I WOULD GET NO REIMBURSEMENT FROM GM. I THINK I AM ENTITLED TO THE $500 THAT I PAID THE HAVE IT FIXED BY MY PERSONAL MECHANIC. THANK YOU. *AK

ENGINE HEAD IS VISIBLY CRACKED BY NUMBER 3 SPARK PLUG AND COOLANT IS POOLING IN SPARK PLUG CHAMBER. *AK

AIR CONDITIONER HOSE CAME LOOSE AND VEHICLE WAS LEAKING AIR CONDITIONING COOLANT. DEALER SAID IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. *AK *ML

MY WIFE WAS INJURED AS A RESULT OF THIS INCIDENT. IT HAD JUST BEEN REPAIRED 5 DAYS BEFORE THIS INCIDENT ON 07/10/1998 WE WROTE 2 CERTIFIED LETTERS TO THE OWNER OF DEALERSHIP WITH NO ANSWER TO EITHER.*AK

ABS LIGHT CAME ON, INDICATING A PROBLEM WITH ABS BRAKING SYSTEM. REAR BRAKES HAD TO BE FIXED ALSO. AFTERWARDS, BRAKE LIGHT STAYED ON, AND WONT TURN OFF. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

PLEASE CALL FOR ADDITIONAL COMMENTS. MY CAR HAS CONSIDERABLY LOW MILEAGE, I HAVE HAD A FEW OCCASIONS THAT REQUIRED ME TO APPLY THE BRAKE QUICKLY. THE BRAKES SEEM TO LOCK AND CAUSES THE CAR TO JUMP OR LUNGE. I THOUGHT THIS WAS A NORMAL PROCESS, SINCE I AM NOT ALL THAT MECHANICALLY INCLINED. NOW MY GEAR SHIFTER BUTTON STICKS AND DOES NOT ALLOW ME TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE. I AM SOMEWHAT KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THE FACT THAT THE PROBLEM IS BEING CAUSED BY A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM. WITH ONLY 33,000 MILES ON THE CAR I SHOULD NOT BE HAVING A PROBLEM LIKE THIS. I AM HANDICAPPED AND MY CAR IS A LIFE SAVER FOR ME. I HAVE IT SERVICED AS OFTEN AS RECOMMENDED AND KEEP UP THE APPEARANCE OF IT AS WELL. IN FACT IT STILL LOOKS LIKE NEW. I WAS LOOKING AT YOUR RECALL DATA BASE AND SEE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS KNOWN AND THERE WAS A RECALL IN 1993 AND WONDER WHY I WAS NEVER TOLD OR GOT NOTIFIED. YOU CAN REACH ME ALMOST ANYTIME AT HOME, MY DISABILITY PREVENTS ME FROM WORKING. PLEASE HELP ME TO GET THIS RESOLVED? THANK YOU, CYNTHIA GRAHAM. *AK

CAR MAY NOT START AT TIMES. ALSO, FAN BELT DOES NOT WORK IN DAMP CONDITIONS. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. *AK
