I WAS DRIVING MY 2003 CHEVY CAVALIER APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES PER HOUR, WHEN IT JUST STALLED. IT STARTED BACK. NO MORE PROBLEMS FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. I WAS AGAIN DRIVING ABOUT 30-35 MILES PER HOUR AND IT JUST STALLED. IT NEVER STARTED AGAIN. CHEVY DEALERSHIP REPORTS THAT IT IS THE FUEL PUMP. *JB

THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED ON MY 2003 CAVALIER. I TOOK IT TO WALKER CHEVROLET IN FRANKLIN, TN AND THEY PERFORMED A SMOKE AND VISUAL TEST. ALL TESTS INDICATED A LEAKING GASOLINE TANK. THE GAS TANK WAS REPLACED AT A LOCAL GARAGE AND THE MECHANIC NOTED A CRACK WAS FORMED AT THE SEAM AREA OF THE GASOLINE TANK. *TR

MY DAUGHTER WAS BACKING THE CAR INTO THE STREET AND THE CAR STALLED. SHE MANAGED TO STOP THE CAR TWO FEET FROM AN ONCOMING CAR. THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS A BAD FUEL AND IT WAS REPLACED AT A LOCAL GARAGE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM MY SONS FOOTBALL PRACTICE. I WAS IN SECOND GEAR GOING APPROX. 20 MPH. THE CAR SLOWLY STARTED TO DECELERATE, UNTIL IT STOPPED COMPLETELY AT THE CURB. I COULD NOT GET IT STARTED. AFTER SPENDING $50 ON A TOW, AND $160 TO HAVE THE PROBLEM ANALYZED, I WAS TOLD IT WAS MY FUEL PUMP AND FILTER THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS QUOTED $1160 TO FIX IT. I'M IN THE PROCESS OF LOCATING A CHEAPER MECHANIC, BUT THE LOWEST QUOTE SO FAR HAS BEEN $700. MAKING MY GRAND TOTAL A MINIMUM OF $910. *JB
