2003 CHEVROLET CAVALIER Complaints

FUEL PUMP APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH EVERYONE I HAVE TALKED TO ON 2003 CHEVROLET CAVALIERS BEFORE 100,000. I HAVE A 2003 CHEVROLET CAVALIER NOW AND WONDERED IF A RECALL ON THIS CAN BE ENFORCED. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR AND YEAR. NHTSA IS LOADED WITH COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS, BUT NO RECALL ENFORCED YET. CAN THIS BE DONE? THANK YOU. *TR

I OWN A 2003 CHEVY CAVALIER AND IT HAS 76K MILES ON IT AND THE FUEL PUMP HAS WENT OUT AS OF THIS WEEKEND, NO WARNING AT ALL IT JUST WOULD NO LONGER START, LEAVING ME STRANDED IN 100 DEGREE HEAT! AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR 3 YEARS, I GOT IT USED WITH LESS THAN 30K ON IT WHEN I BOUGHT IT. I FOUND A REPLACEMENT FOR IT BUT NOW IT HAS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

FUEL PUMP FAILED AT 62,000 MILES, MAINTAINED BY NEW CAR DEALER. I STRONGLY SUGGEST AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE RATE OF FAILURE OF FUEL PUMPS FOR THIS MODEL AFTER SPEAKING TO SEVERAL MECHANICS AT THE GM SERVICE CENTER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET CAVALIER. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE FUEL PUMP FAILED AND MADE THE REPLACEMENT. A FEW DAYS AFTER THE REPAIR, THE HEADLIGHTS STOPPED WORKING AND THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WAS REWIRED. RECENTLY, THE ENGINE FAILED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE CONTACT DOES NOT YET KNOW THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE AND THE VEHICLE IS STILL AT THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,000. UPDATED 06/16/08 *BF

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK DURING A HEAVY TRAFFIC TIME. AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO CROSS 2 LANES OF TRAFFIC TO TURN LEFT, MY CAR STALLED WHILE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ONCOMING LANES. IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONE BEHIND ME SO I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF MY CAR AND PUSH IT BACK TO THE STREET THAT I WAS TURNING FROM. THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN OVER. A TOW TRUCK WAS CALLED TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE REPAIR SHOP. AFTER PAYING $570 AND ONLY 50,000 MILES I HAD A NEW FUEL PUMP PUT IN THE CAR. *TR

THE CAR JUST DIED WITH NO WARNING. HAD IT TOWED TO A GARAGE. 650.00 DOLLARS TO FIX THE FUEL PUMP I WAS TOLD. *TR

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR, CAR DIED, REPAIR SHOP SAID THE FUEL PUMP WAS NOT WORKING. HAD TO GET IT REPLACED. NO PREVIOUS ISSUES WITH ANY MECHANICAL PARTS IN THE CAR. IT JUST HAPPENED OUT OF THE BLUE. *TR
