2005 Chevrolet Cavalier

2005 CHEVROLET CAVALIER. ABOUT A MONTH AGO MY FUEL AND SPEEDOMETER GAUGES STARTED TO FAIL. I HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM OWNERS OF THE SIMILAR MAKE AND MODEL. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT MUST BE ADDRESSED. I KNOW THIS IS COSTLY TO REPAIR AND I DO NOT THINK IT IS DUE TO THE AGE OR WEAR AND TEAR OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET CAVALIER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 TO 55 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS; PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THERE WAS AN UNINTENDED INCREASE IN THE ACCELERATION. THE ENGINE REVVED EXTREMELY HIGH WHICH CAUSED THE ABS, ENGINE, AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT INDICATORS TO ILLUMINATE ON THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL INTERMITTENTLY. IMMEDIATELY AFTER APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE BEGAN DRIVING NORMALLY. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER POWER WINDOW MECHANISM ALSO FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE WINDOW MOTOR WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, WHEN THE WINDOW WAS ACTIVATED THE RESPONSE TIME WAS SLOW WHICH MAY HAVE CAUSED THE WINDOW SHIELD WIPERS TO MALFUNCTION. THE SPEED ODOMETER AND RPM GAUGES DISPLAYED INACCURATE READINGS WHICH COULD BE RELATED TO THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY EXHIBITING REDUCE ENGINE POWER. THE CONTACT HAD CONCERNS OF THE SAFETY RISK INVOLVED. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CONTACT HAD CONCERNS OF THE SAFETY RISK INVOLVED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 74,400.

AT APPROXIMATELY 30,000 MILES, OUR 2005 CHEVROLET CAVALIER'S GAS GAGE, SPEEDOMETER, AND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER STARTED MALFUNCTIONING. AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM, AND COST TO FIX, WE DECIDED AGAINST REPAIRS, AS WE DON'T HAVE $500+ TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ON THE INTERNET, WE HAVE FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2005 CHEVROLET CAVALIERS. OUR CAR IS A ONE OWNER VEHICLE, SO WE KNOW THE MAINTENANCE AND CARE OF THE CAR. CHEVROLET, TO THIS POINT, HAS DONE NOTHING FOR THE OTHER OWNERS, WHO HAVE PAID FOR THIS REPAIR. REGARDLESS OF THE FACT THAT OUR CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS OBVIOUS MALFUNCTION. *TR
