2003 CHEVROLET CAVALIER Complaints

I JUST WATCHED A REPORT ABOUT SPEEDOMETER GOING HAYWIRE ON GM TRUCKS AND SUV'S. WELL, I WANTED YOU TO KNOW THAT MY 2003 CHEVY CAVALIER IS ALSO HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS SCHEDULED FOR SERVICE ON FRIDAY TO THE TUNE OF $400.00. *TR

FUEL PUMP FAILURE. WAS RUNNING FINE THEN JUST DIED ALL OF A SUDDEN. HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE BUT THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME IT WOULD NOT START BACK UP. *TR

HAD BEEN DRIVING MY CAR AROUND ALL DAY. MADE A QUICK TRIP TO THE STORE, AND WHEN I PULLED BACK INTO MY DRIVEWAY, THE CAR STALLED, AND WOULD NOT START AGAIN. THE BATTERY HAD BEEN RECENTLY REPLACED, SO I KNEW THAT WASN'T THE PROBLEM. CAR ABSOLUTELY WOULD NOT START AGAIN. THIS WAS FOR A 2003 CHEVY CAVALIER. HAD THE CAR TOWED, AND THE DEALER STATED THAT IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATING, I FOUND THAT THIS WAS A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE. CAR HAS ONLY 70,500 MILES ON IT. COST OF REPLACEMENT HAS BEEN ESTIMATED BETWEEN $400-800. *TR

2003 CAVALIER ENGINE STALL ON RED LIGHTS/ COMING TO STOP/ TURNING CORNERS AT LOW IDLE SPEEDS CAUSING A LOSS IN POWER STEERING AND ABS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ACTIVE, IMMEDIATE RESTART IS AVAILABLE, HOWEVER WHILE TURNING HAS NEARLY CAUSED ACCIDENTS. BELIEVED TO BE CAUSED DUE TO FAULTY WIRING TO INTAKE TEMP SENSOR. *TR

FUEL PUMP WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING CAUSING VEHICLE TO STALL WHILE ON ROADWAY AND HAD TO BE PUSHED TO A SAFE LOCATION. THERE WAS NO PREVIOUS WARNING THAT FUEL PUMP WAS FAILING. DUE TO SEVERAL OTHER OCCURRENCES I'VE FOUND ONLINE, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR MAKE/MODEL/YEAR OF VEHICLE. *TR

ENGINE STALLING AND DELAYED ACCELERATION. WHEN CAR WAS SLOWED TO APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH CAR SHUT DOWN. FUEL PUMP FAILED ON CAR WITH 71000 MILES. CAR WOULD NOT RESTART, FUEL PUMP HAS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

I HAVE A 2003 CHEVY CAVALIER AND IT JUST SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. HAD IT TOWED TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE "FUEL PUMP". IT'S GOING TO COST OVER $800.00 TO FIX. I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THIS IS HAPPENING TO EVERYONE, NOT JUST ME. ONLY 66,350 MILE AND NOT EVEN 5 YEARS OLD, THIS IS NOT RIGHT. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS. *TR

VEHICLE STOP RUNNING AND WOULD NOT START BACK UP. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AUTO REPAIR SHOP. REPAIR SHOP INFORMED ME THE VEHICLE NEEDS A NEW FUEL PUMP. *TR

MY FUEL PUMP IN MY 2003 CAVALIER WENT ON TUES. JUST LEARNING HOW COMMON THIS IS AND HOW MUCH THIS COSTS. I FEEL COMPLETELY RIPPED OFF - QUOTED $700+ FOR THE PART, NEVER MIND THE LABOR OR THE TOW JOBS. AFTER VIEWING THE FOLLOWING WEBSITE (PLEASE SEE THIS!) HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.COM/FORUM/AUTOS/CHEVROLET- CAVALIER/TVINIC5TFU5SFSI5H/P6 WOW IS ALL I CAN SAY. THERE SHOULD DEFINITELY BE FULL REIMBURSEMENT FOR ALL OF US. I SPENT CLOSE TO $15,000 CDN FOR THIS VEHICLE JUST OVER 2 YEARS AGO. OF COURSE, THE EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED "MOMENTS" AGO! PLEASE HELP US - THERE ARE CLOSE TO 300 CAVALIER OWNERS IN THE SAME BOAT. *TR

2003 CHEVY CAVALIER FUEL PUMP FAILED. CONSUMER STATES THAT OTHER CONSUMERS HAVE ALSO HAD THIS PROBLEM. HE BELIEVES THAT GM SHOULD HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. HE ALSO STATES THAT HE WANTS A REFUND FOR THE REPLACED FUEL PUMP. *KB
