2003 CHEVROLET CAVALIER Complaints

I BOUGHT A 2003 CHEVROLET CAVALIER IN JAN. '03 AND NOW THE AIR COMPRESSOR HAS LOCKED UP. SINCE I LIVE IN TEXAS, IT IS ESSENTIAL TO HAVE PROPER A/C IN THE VEHICLE. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WASN'T OFFERED TO ME AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE, AND NOW THE VEHICLE IS JUST PAST THE 3 YEAR/ 36,000 MILE WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME THAT IT WILL COST ME AT LEAST $900 TO REPAIR, THEN AFTER THE REPAIR IS COMPLETE, I WILL BE OFFERED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT A CAR THAT IS LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD, WITH LESS THAN 40,000 MILES ON IT, COULD ALREADY HAVE THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE, AND AS SUCH, THE CORPORATION SHOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. *AK

WELL THE PROBLEMS IS GETTING WORSE IT MAKE A VERY BAD GRINDING SOUND WHEN I PUSH ON THE BREAKS AND IT IS REALLY PULSATING THIS TIME AROUND. I WOULD JUST LIKE FOR THE ROTORS TO BE REPLACED. I'M REALLY TIRED OF THE CONSTANT TRIPS TO THE SHOP.*AK
