WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE HESITATED STALLED AND AT TIMES IT WOULD NOT RESTART. THE CONSUMER STATED THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES AND EACH TIME THE VEHICLE HAS TO BE TOWED TO THE MECHANIC TO GET IT RESTARTED. SHE ALSO SAYS THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES SINCE NOV. 03. SHE SAID ONE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. THEN ANOTHER SAID IT WAS THE STARTER SWITCH , WHICH WAS THEN REPLACED. THEN SHE SAID ONE MECHANIC SAID HE COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE.*JB VEHICLE CONTINUES TO STALL, 3 TIMES IN APPROXIMATELY 5 DAYS. *BF *NM

2001 CHEVROLET CAVALIER BLEW A HOLE IN THE TRANSMISSION.***NO ANSWER REQUIRED***. *MR THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN REVERSE, THE CONSUMER BACKED OUT ABOUT A FOOT WHEN AN EXPLOSION WAS HEARD. THE CONSUMER FOUND THAT A HOLE WAS BLOWN IN THE THICKEST PART OF THE CASING WHERE A LARGE GEAR HAD PROJECTED FROM ALONG WITH OTHER METAL CHUNKS AND LANDED IN THE DRIVEWAY. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FULL COVERAGE OF THE REPLACED TRANSMISSION. *SC *JB

DT: THERE WAS HISSING SOUND UNDER THE HOOD, AND CONSUMER FOUND THE AC HOSE HAD CHAFFED OUT. THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE AC HOSE, BECAUSE IT HAD UNFASTENED FROM IT'S HOOKS. AND IT WAS LEANING ON THE PULLEY. THAT LET ALL THE FREON OUT. WHEN THE REPAIR MAN WAS CALLED, THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHEVY CAVALIERS. CONSUMER IS VERY UPSET THAT ALL THE FREON IS IN THE ATMOSPHERE. *NM

MY 2001 CHEVROLET CAVALIER DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHTS (DRL) QUIT WORKING!. WHEN YOU PUT THE CAR INTO GEAR, YOU HEAR A CLICKING NOISE,(MAYBE A RELAY SWITCH)? AND THE DRL ICON ON THE DASH FLASHES ABOUT 5 OR 6 TIMES ALONG WITH THE HEADLIGHTS AND THE DRL TURNED OFF, AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, WHEN YOU TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTART IT THE SERVICE LIGHT IS OFF, MUST RESET. ALSO THE RIGHT SIDE HIGH BEAM HEAD LIGHT DOES NOT WORK AFTER THE DRL FLASH AND GO OUT(RIGHT SIDE IF YOU ARE FACING THE FRONT OF THE CAR THAT IS) REPLACED THE RIGHT SIDE HEAD LIGHT AND STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHTS ARE A SAFETY FEATURE FOR MY CAR AND THEY ARE NOT WORKING, THE DEALER WANTS $100.00 BUCKS JUST TO HOOK MY CAR TO A MACHINE TO TELL ME WHATS WRONG WITH IT, AFTER THE LAST TRIP TO THE DEALER FOR A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, THAT COST ME $180.00 DOLLARS JUST TO TELL MY WIFE TO TIGHTEN THE GAS CAP WHEN YOU FILL UP THE CAR.(NICE HU?) IM NOT A HAPPY CAMPER. AFTER DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET I SEE THAT CAVILERS HAVE A DRL PROBLEMS ALL OVER THE PLACE. WHY IS THERE NOT A SAFETY RECALL FOR DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHTS? AFTER ALL THEY ARE A SAFETY FEATURE AND DO SAVE LIVES, BY MAKING THE SMALLER CARS MORE VISABLE TO OTHER DRIVERS. WITH ONLY ONE HIGH BEAM HEAD LIGHT WORKING AND NO DRL'S MY CAR HAS BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD FOR MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER, AND EVEN MY SELF TO DRIVE. PLEASE HELP BY ASKING GM TO RECALL THIS SAFETY PROBLEM BEFORE SOME ONE GET S HURT OR EVEN KILLED. *AK

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2001 CAVALIER COUPE 2 DOOR BACK IN 2001. I HAVE APPROX. 48,000 MILES ON MY CAR. WHENEVER I GO TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH A PROBLEM CONCERNING MY CAR I SAY TO THEM, THE MANY NOISES OF THE CAVALIER AND MANY MORE TO COME. IT'S TO THE POINT WHERE I'M SO TIRED OF GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THEY CAN NEVER FIND THE PROBLEM. THIS YEAR AROUND JANUARY 2005, MY BRAKES STARTED MAKING THIS AWFUL GRINDING NOISE ALONG WITH VIBRATING AND MY STEERING WHEEL WAS MAKING THIS KLUNKING/POPING NOISE THAT I COULD FEEL IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE STEERING WHEEL HAD ME SO SCARED THAT IT WAS GOING TO FALL OFF THAT I BROUGHT IT RIGHT AWAY TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE GRINDING NOISE FROM THE BRAKES AND ALSO THE POPING NOISE IN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS DUE TO THE COLD WEATHER AND NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT. I BROUGHT MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, ABOUT A WEEK AGO, THE WEATHER IS NICE NOW, BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL IS GETTING WORSE AND I'M SCARED THAT SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN. THEY ASSURED ME THAT IT'S FINE, MY STEERING WHEEL WON'T FALL OFF, THAT LITTLE THINGS WILL START TO HAPPEN AS YOUR CAR GETS OLDER. THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD LUBE IT BUT THAT THAT WON'T NECESSARILY MAKE THE KLUNKING/POPPING STOP. AND THE BRAKES, THEY SAID ONCE AGAIN, THEY ARE FINE. I'M ESPECIALLY SCARED ABOUT MY STEERING WHEEL PROBLEM AND THE BRAKE PROBLEM ALSO. I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY, CAUSE THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY COMPLAINTS THAT I'VE READ, THE STEERING WHEEL OR EVEN THE BREAK PROBLEMS HAVEN'T BEEN RECALLED. ARE THEY WAITING FOR A TRADGY TO HAPPEN???*AK
