2003 CHEVROLET CAVALIER Complaints

ON A 4 HOUR ROAD TRIP MY CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE 77. THEREFORE, I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR AFTER A FEW MINUTES HAD PASSED. HOWEVER, IT WOULD NOT. AFTER SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 HOURS WAITING FOR MY BOYFRIEND TO DRIVE 2 HOURS OUT OF HIS WAY TO COME AND GET ME AND FOR THE TOW TRUCK TO TOW ME SOMEWHERE...WE FOUND A SMALL SHOP THAT WAS APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES AWAY. THEY CHECKED IT OUT AND SAID THE FUEL PUMP HAD GONE OUT ON IT. THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL FILTER. PARTS COST 315.00 DOLLARS, LABOR WAS 100.00, AND MISC. CHARGES AND TAX FEES BROUGHT THE GRAND TOTAL TO 450.00 DOLLARS. OH AND DON'T FOR THE TOW AND THE GAS THAT MY BOYFRIEND WASTED DRIVING DOWN TO PICK ME UP AND DRIVING ME DOWN 2 DAYS LATER TO PICK UP MY CAR. OLD PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE! *TR

I FILLED UP MY GAS TANK AND WHEN I GOT HOME MY CAR STALLED SO I CALLED AND GOT IT CHECKED OUT AND IT WAS MY FUEL PUMP SO ITS BEEN REPLACED AND STILL HAVE THE OLD FUEL PUMP. *TR

I HAVE HAD A RECALL FIXED TWICE ON THE BRAKE LIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS, TAIL LIGHTS ALL IN THE TRUNK FOR THE REAR LIGHTS WELL I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE RECALL 2 YEARS LATER AFTER CONTACTING MCCLUSKEY CHEVROLET ABOUT THIS PROBLEM THEY TELL ME IT IS A 12 MONTH, 12,000 MILE WARRANTY ISSUE ON A RECALL BY GENERAL MOTORS. APPARENTLY IT WAS FIXED ONLY TEMPORARILY HOW CAN THE SAME WORK BEING DONE TWICE FOR A RECALL HAVE A TIME STIPULATION? THE FUEL PUMP WENT OUT DIRECTLY AFTER I HAD 36,100 MILES ONLY 100 MILES OVER MY WARRANTY. NOW I HAVE A SHORT IN THE DRIVER SIDE MOTOR FOR MY DRIVER WINDOW, THEY WANT $375.00 TO FIX ONE WINDOW. I UNDERSTAND CAVALIERS ARE GARBAGE THAT'S WHY THEY QUIT MAKING THEM, BUT THEY DON'T TELL YOU THAT WHEN THEY WANT YOU TO FINANCE ONE. *TR

ON AT LEAST 10 OCCASIONS, MY CAR HAS STALLED UPON DECELERATION. HAS HAPPENED ON HIGHWAY, STOPPING AT LIGHTS AND WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO TURN. MY CAR HAS 15,000 MILES ON IT. CANNOT DETERMINE SOURCE OF PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL PUMP WENT OUT ON MY 2003 CHEVY CAVALIER UNDER 40000 MILES. I HEAR THIS I S PRETTY COMMON WITH THIS MODEL SO I WOULD LIKE A RECALL OPENED ON IT. *TR

MY 2003 CHEVROLET CAVALIER STARTED TO STALL ON THE I-5 FREEWAY IN SAN DIEGO CALIFORNIA. I MANAGED TO COAST TO AN EXIT RAMP WHERE MY CAR COMPLETELY STALLED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE RAMP IN THE MIDDLE OF A LANE. I HAD TO CALL AND HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. IT WAS THE DEALERSHIP THAT DETERMINED THE FUEL PUMP WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IT WAS REPLACED AND HAS BEEN FINE SINCE. THIS REPAIR COST ME APPROXIMATELY $800. *TR

MY FUEL PUMP WENT OUT ON MY 2003 CHEVY CAVALIER. MY VEHICLE HAS 61,000 MILES AND AS I WAS DRIVING UP A HILL IT DIED. WHEN I GOT IT TOWED TO A SHOP THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS MY FUEL PUMP AND THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. NEEDLESS TO SAY I PAID THE $748.00 TO REPLACE THE PUMP AND THEN WAS INFORMED THAT THE WIRE THAT CONTROLS THE FUEL PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED AS WELL BECAUSE IT HAD FUSED TO THE FRAME. *TR

I HAVE A 2003 CHEVY CAVALIER. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR LOSES POWER AND WON'T START FOR A WHILE. I CHANGED THE GAS FILTER NEAR THE AXLE AND ADDED FUEL ADDITIVE IN CASE THERE WAS WATER IN THE FUEL IT WAS FINE FOR TWO WEEKS AND THEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO MY WIFE ON THE INTERSTATE. I HAVE BEEN READING ON THE INTERNET AND PEOPLE ARE SAYING IT IS A FUEL PUMP PROBLEM AND COST AROUND 6 TO 7 HUNDRED BUCKS TO FIX THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR DOWN A BUSY STREET. WHEN I SLOWED DOWN TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT, MY CAR STALLED OUT ON ME. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT, BUT WITHIN LESS THAN 30 SECONDS, IT STALLED OUT AGAIN. I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT AND OUT OF THE WAY OF OTHER CARS. HOWEVER, AT THAT POINT, THE CAR WOULD NOT START UP AGAIN. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED AND THE FUEL AND AIR FILTER REPLACED. BEYOND THAT, I WAS TOLD THE FUEL GAUGE DID NOT READ CORRECTLY. THE CAR RAN FINE AFTER THAT, BUT A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER THE CAR STALLED OUT AGAIN. I'VE BEEN TOLD I NEED A NEW FUEL PUMP. AMAZING...THE CAR IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD! *TR

2003 CHEVY CAVALIER SUDDENLY LOSS POWER ON MAJOR STREET. MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AND TODDLER GRANDSON WAS RIDING IN HIS CAR SEAT IN THE BACK SEAT. THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS BEHIND HER TO REAR END HER AND SHE WAS NEAR THE POLICE STATION SO A POLICE OFFICER ASSISTED HER OFF OF THE ROAD. THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED THE FOLLOWING DAY AT THE COST OF $557.00. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 40K MILES. I'VE NEVER REPLACED A FUEL PUMP ON ANY CAR THAT I'VE EVER OWNED EVEN THOSE THAT I KEPT LONG ENOUGH TO HAVE 4 TIMES THAT NUMBER OF MILES. AFTER RESEARCHING AND FINDING THAT TOO MANY OWNERS OF THIS MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR IT TO BE INCIDENTAL I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT AS WELL. *TR
