WHILE DRIVING THE 2003 CAVALIER IT JUST QUIT. IT ENDED UP NEEDING A NEW FUEL PUMP AND FILTER. IT ONLY HAD 63,000 MILES ON IT!*AK

FAULTY FUEL PUMP ON MY 2003 CHEVROLET CAVALIER WITH 75805 MILES ON IT. THE CAR QUIT RUNNING, AND REQUIRED A TOW AND FUEL PUMP REPLACEMENT. IT SEEMS TO BE FAIRLY COMMON. TTP://WWW.TOPIX.NET/FORUM/AUTOS/CHEVROLET-CAVALIER/TVINIC5TFU5SFSI5H. *AK

IN EXTREME HEAT OR COLD TEMPERATURES INSIDE VEHICLE THE SPEEDOMETER WILL JUMP IN INTERVALS OF FIVE MPH. SOMETIMES IT WILL RESET ITSELF IF LEFT ALONE. IF PASSES 70 MPH MARK IT WILL CONTINUE RISING UNTIL IT POINTED DOWNWARD TOWARDS THE ODOMETER.*AK

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET CAVALIER. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH IN DRY CONDITIONS THE CONTACT SWERVED IN ORDER TO AVOID HITTING A DEER. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE STRUCK A TREE HEAD ON AND THEN SWERVED AND STRUCK A SECOND TREE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. THE FRONT AIR BAGS AND SIDE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED, AND THE CONTACT SUSTAINED SEVERE INJURIES. THE CONTACT WAS WEARING A SEAT BELT. A POLICE REPORT WAS TAKEN. THE CONTACT HAS PICTURES OF THE VEHICLE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 62,207.*AK THE CONSUMERS SON WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE SEAT BELT DID NOT LOCK INTO PLACE AS THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED FOR ABOUT 40 DEET BEFORE IMPACT.

ON APRIL 14 2007 MY HUSBAND WENT OUTSIDE TO START THE 2003 CHEVROLET CAVALIER WE PURCHASED IN OCTOBER OF 2006, THE CAR HAS 53000 MILES ON IT. THE CAR WOULD NOT START. UPON TAKING THE CAR TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WE WERE TOLD THAT THE FUEL PUMP HAD FAILED AND THAT WE WERE LUCKY WE WERE NOT DRIVING THE CAR AT THE TIME AS THE CAR ITSELF WOULD HAVE SIMPLY DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE MECHANIC FIXED THE CAR AND REPAIRS RAN ALMOST 600.00. I THEN CALLED CHEVROLET TO COMPLAIN AND THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST ME IN THIS MATTER. UPON RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE FURTHER I FOUND A WEBSITE OF COMPLAINTS FROM 90 CONSUMER'S REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL. THE WEB ADDRESS IS HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.NET/FORUM/AUTOS/CHEVROLET-CAVALIER/TVINIC5TFU5SFSI5H/P3 . PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS. *JB

FRONT DRIVER SIDE WINDOW FAILURE, STARTED GOING DOWN A QUARTER TO HALF WAY DOWN AND STOPPING THEN WHEN YOU TRY TO PUT IT UP IT ONLY GOES UP LIKE A INCH AND YOU HAVE TO WAIT A LITTLE WHILE AND KEEP DOING THAT UNTIL THE WINDOW IS COMPLETELY UP. SECOND THERE IS A CLUCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT AT LOW SPEEDS INCLUDING WHEN TURNING OR GOING OVER A BUMP. *JB

SEAT BELT IN MIDDLE REAR POSITION OF CAR WAS GETTING CAUGHT ON SOME PART OF THE MECHANISM AND A LARGE HOLE IN THE SEAT BELT RESULTED. I HAD TO HAVE THE ENTIRE MECHANISM REPLACED AT MY OWN EXPENSE SINCE IT WAS SIX MONTHS PAST END OF WARRANTY. *NM

THERE IS A VENT FOR MY DEFROSTER/HEATER/AIR CONDITIONER-ON TOP OF THE DASH--THAT DOES NOT WORK. I HAVE A FRIEND, THAT HAS THE SAME MODEL CAR. SHE TOO HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. IT SEEMS LIKE A DEFECT. *JB MY WINDSHIELD KEEPS ICING UP AND GETS FOGGY.
