2004 Chevrolet Cavalier

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET CAVALIER. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE FUEL PUMP FAILED. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT HEARD A TAPPING NOSE IN THE HEATER AND THE CD PLAYER DOES NOT WORK. THERE WERE ALSO TWO MOTOR SWTICES REPAIRED IN THE WINDOWS. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 78,000.

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 CHEVY CAVALIER STOPPED WORKING CORRECTLY ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. IT WILL STICK AT RANDOM PLACES ON THE DIAL, EVEN WHEN NOT DRIVING, WILL NOT REGISTER THE CORRECT SPEED, AND SOMETIMES ROLL ALL THE WAY OVER, POINTING AT THE ODOMETER. THE TACHOMETER AND COOLANT TEMP. GAUGE STICK ALSO WHEN IT GETS COLD OUTSIDE. ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS SEEM TO GET BETTER WHEN THE WEATHER WARMS UP, BUT ARE STILL PRESENT. I HAVEN'T HAD THE MONEY TO GET THIS FIXED (ESTIMATED AT 700 DOLLARS) SO THEREFORE NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY DEFECT AND A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED! I HAVE READ MANY MORE COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER CAVALIER OWNERS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES! *TR

WHILE DRIVING IN MY CAR ONE DAY I INTENDED TO SHIFT INTO 3RD GEAR, BUT IT ONLY MADE A GRINDING NOISE. I CAN ONLY ASSUME SINCE THE NOISE PERSISTS EVEN WITH REV MATCHING THAT ITS A SYNCRO/CONE PROBLEM. I TRY TO SHIFT DURING THE PROPER RPM AREA, AND SOMETIMES IT WILL SHIFT WITHOUT A PROBLEM OTHER TIMES IT GRINDS. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY. IT HAD APPROXIMATELY 45,000 MILES ON IT THEN, NOW AROUND 70,000, STILL HAS THE ISSUE. *TR

WE HAVE 2 2004 CHEVY CAVALIERS. ON ONE OF THE CAVALIERS NOT TO LONG AFTER WE BOUGHT IT, THE SPEEDOMETER WENT OUT ON IT AND WE COULDN'T READ THE MILEAGE ON THE CAR. WE HAVE TRIED TO BUY USED ONES AND PUT THEN IN THE CAR AND THAT FAILED AND YOU STILL CAN'T READ THE MILEAGE ON THE CAR. ON THE SECOND CAVALIER THE SPEEDOMETER IS ACTING FUNNY. WHEN THE CAR SETS FOR OVERNIGHT AND THE NEXT MORNING YOU GO AND TURN IT ON IT SAYS THAT YOU ARE GOING A HIGH AMOUNT OF SPEED, WHEN IT HAS BEEN PARKED FOR A LONG TIME. IT KEEPS OCCURRING DAILY, AND THEN SOMETIMES WHEN YOUR DRIVING IT WILL SAY THAT YOUR GO 0 MPH, WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. WE HAVE LOOKED TO GET THESE FIXED, BUT THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALER THAT WE TALKED TO HAS SAID THAT HE HAS HAD SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OF THIS GOING WRONG IN THE CAVALIERS AND THE CHEVY TRUCKS. BOTH OF MY CARS HAVE AROUND 74,000 MILES ON IT, AND IF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED, AND WE THINK THE COMPANY SHOULD PAY FOR IT, SINCE IT HAS HAPPENED IN BOTH CARS AROUND THE SAME MILEAGE POINT. *TR
