1996 CHEVROLET CAVALIER Complaints

I READ AN ARTICLE ABOUT ALL THE GM STEERING STUFF AND I JUST WANTED TO WRITE MY COMPLAINT, MY STEERING LOOKED UP ON ME CAUSING ME TO RUN OFF THE ROAD AND HIT A TREE WHICH FLIPPED MY CAR OVER AND TOTALLED OUT MY CAR. I JUST THINK THAT IT IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT GM NEEDS TO FIX BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS KILLED OR HURT LIKE ME.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT LATCH ASSEMBLY HAS BROKEN APART. THERE IS NO WAY TO REPAIR THE BUCKLE. *PH

COSCO EDDIE BAUER MODEL# 02870EBG. RIGHT ARM BROKE ON THE SHIELD CHILD SEAT. *AK CONSUMER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER WHO STATED IT WASN'T A DEFECT. THEY STATED THEY WOULD SEND THE CONSUMER THE APPROPRIATE PARTS TO REPAIR THE CHILD SEAT. *PH *JB

CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT 55MPH, IT SHUT OFF. THERE WAS A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WHICH CAUSED THE CONSUMER TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. TWO DEALERS INSPECTED THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE OR CORRECT THE PROBLEM. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. *PH

EXCESSIVE COOLANT LEAKAGE FROM UNDER CAR. CAR HEATS UP, CAUSING TO PULLOVER CONSTANTLY TO GET THE CAR TO COOL DOWN. SEEMS TO BE A HEAD GASKET PROBLEM. *AK

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET. WHILE ACCELERATING ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD LIT UP - THE CAR SHUT OFF AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER IN TIME AND I WAS NOT DRIVING THAT FAST. ALSO I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER SAFELY WITHOUT HITTING ANYONE.

FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE BLEWOUT CAUSING DAMAGE TO FENDER. NAR 07/02/2003*MR (OHIO TRAFFIC CRASH REPORT). *NM

FUEL PUMP SEAL DISINTEGRATED. COST $1,081.00 (INCLUDING 3 DAY CAR RENTAL). EARLIER THIS YEAR THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE STEERING COLUMN AND I WOUND UP PAYING AN ADDITIONAL $600 FOR OTHER DEFECTS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. THINK THAT THIS AND MANY ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS ON THIS CAR CONSTITUTE IT BEING A LEMON. MORE THAN 5 RECALLS IN 7 YEARS. *NLM
