TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 CHEVROLET CAVALIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IN 2005 WHEN SHE MADE A RIGHT TURN AT 15 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL MADE A CLICKING NOISE AND BEGAN TO VIBRATE. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS THAT WOULD ALLUDE TO THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD UNLOCK AND TURN INVOLUNTARILY WHEN IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE LOCKED. THE FUEL GAUGE WAS ALSO DEFECTIVE. SHE ALSO NOTICED THAT THE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, AND HEADLIGHTS, WERE ALSO FAULTY. THE BULBS IN THE LEFT REAR TURN SIGNAL AND BRAKE LIGHT BURNED OUT AND MELTED AFTER THEY WERE USED THREE TO FOUR TIMES. THE CONTACT CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER TO ASK ABOUT RELATED RECALLS AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO OPEN RECALLS FOR HER VEHICLE; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT FOUND EIGHT RECALLS FOR HER YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 77,000.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED A LOUD POP WAS HEARD ON THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE, AND THEN THE DASHBOARD CRACKED DOWN THE MIDDLE. THE CONTACT IS CONCERNED THE AIRBAG COULD DEPLOY WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SEEN BY THE DEALERSHIP, BUT NO REPAIRS WERE MADE.

MORE THAN ONE INCIDENT: BRAKE LIGHT AND ABS LIGHTS ARE ON. THE ABS MOTOR PACK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, AND WAS TOLD BY CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP THAT THIS IS A FREQUENT PROBLEM. BAD MOTOR PACK DUE TO CORROSION IN GEARS IN MOTOR PACK. THIS CAUSES ABS TO "SHUT OFF" BUT ALSO FOR BREAKS TO DRAG, STICK, PREMATURE BREAK WEAR, AND WARPED ROTORS. MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE. NEWER DESIGN OF MOTOR PACK CONSISTS OF ELECTRONIC SOLENOID. CHEVROLET NEEDS TO RECALL THIS!*AK

WELL, I HAVE A 1999 CHEVROLET CAVALIER, THE BASIC MODEL, NOTHING FANCY. THE ABS BRAKE LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF. I WAS TOLD IT WAS JUST THE LIGHT AND NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT. THE FRONT END SHOOK, CAUSING THE WHOLE CAR TO VIBRATE, AND SOMETIMES CLICKED WHEN DRIVING ON THE ROAD. THE ONLY WAY I HAVE FOUND TO STOP IT WAS TO STEER THE WHEEL A BIT, BUT THAT MADE ME GO INTO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD. THERE WAS NO REAR DEFROSTER, MAKING IT VERY HARD TIME TO SEE OUT OF THE BACK WINDOW WHEN IT WAS ALL FOGGED UP. WHEN I ATTEMPTING TO STOP SOMETIMES THE BRAKES TOOK A MINUTE TO START WORKING OR THEY JUST PULSATED, AND IT WAS HARD TO STOP FAST IF I HAD TO, I COULD GO ON AND ON SO MUCH MORE ABOUT THE CAR, BUT I THINK ONE GETS THE DRIFT ABOUT IT . WHEN I WENT TO THE RECALL PAGE THERE WERE MORE THINGS ON IT THEN I WAS NOTIFIED ABOUT, THE ONLY RECALLS I KNEW ABOUT WAS THE IGNITION, ,AND THE HOSE FOR THE COOLANT THE WAS LEAKING BECAUSE IT WAS RUBBING ON SOMETHING. WHEN I WENT TO GET THE IGNITION FIXED THEY DIDN'T TIGHTEN THE NUT ON THE STARTER AND I HAD TO SOMEONE ELSE DO IT. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THAT THE STARTER FAILED, BUT THEN I FOUND OUT IT WAS THE NUT WHICH WAS NOT TIGHTENED DOWN RIGHTLY. I HAVE GIVEN ALL THE INFORMATION REQUIRED. I THINK IT WAS SOLD A LEMON. AK

THIS A COMPLAINT IDENTICAL TO #10210719 RELATING TO THE STRUCTURE: FRAME AND MEMBERS:UNDERBODY SHIELDS ON A ONE OWNER 1999 CAVALIER. THE CAR HAS 35,000 ORIGINAL MILES ON IT AND IT HAS BEEN GARAGED SINCE PURCHASED. IT BELONGS TO MY 85 YEAR OLD MOTHER. HAD SHE GOTTEN ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND BEEN TRAVELING ACCORDINGLY AND HIT A BUMP OR POTHOLE, THIS WOULD HAVE BECOME A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THIS MODEL IS A FATALITY WAITING TO HAPPEN. *TR

THE SUB-FRAME ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY VEHICLE WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH ALONG WITH THE BRAKE LINE ON THAT SIDE. THE AIR CONDITIONING OVERFLOW TUBE WAS RELEASING WATER ONTO THAT PIECE OF METAL. ALTHOUGH WE DO NOT KNOW FOR SURE IF THIS WAS THE CAUSE THE DRIVERS SIDE IS NOT LIKE THAT. COULD HAVE JUST BEEN CHEAP METAL. ON NOV 30 OF 07 I WAS DRIVING MY CAR TO WORK AND IT JUST DID NOT FEEL RIGHT. WHEN YOU DRIVE A CAR EVERYDAY YOU NOTICE THESE THINGS BUT CANNOT PUT YOUR FINGER ON IT. THE NEXT DAY I WENT TO THE GROCERY STORE AND THE SUSPENSION FELT VERY LOOSE THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT FELT LIKE IT WAS NOT TURNING CORRECTLY. THE MORE I DROVE THE WORSE IT GOT. ON THE WAY HOME I DROVE ONLY 20 MILES AN HOUR WITH MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON PRAYING I WOULD GET HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT OR ACCIDENT. IT FELT LIKE THE WHOLE FRONT END WAS GOING TO FALL OFF. THANK THE GOOD LORD I DID GET HOME ALRIGHT. MY HUSBAND PULLED OF BOTH WHEELS STARTING WITH LEFT AND THEN RIGHT AND DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM. WE TOOK PICTURES AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE IT TO OUR PREFERRED AUTO SHOP. BOTH THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER AND THE GUY AT THE SHOP SAID WE WERE VERY LUCKY THAT NOTHING BAD HAPPENED THAT WE ACTUALLY COULD HAVE LOST THE FRONT END. IN ALL THE CARS THAT WE HAVE OWNED NOTHING LIKE THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED ALTHOUGH THIS IS THE FIRST AND ONLY CHEVY WE HAVE HAD. *TR

INSTRUMENT PANEL DOES NOT ILLUMINATE ANYMORE. ALSO, FUSES DO NOT WORK , AND HAVE BEEN REPLACED NUMEROUS TIMES. *AK

I PURCHASE A USED 1999 CHEVROLET CAVALIER FROM A CHEVROLET DEALER IN HAMILTON NJ. SINCE THE TIME OF PURCHASE IN LATE 2001, THE CAR HAS BEEN IN SERVICE MANY TIMES FOR THE WINDOWS AND LOCKS NOT WORKING AMONG OTHER THINGS, AND HAS HAD THREE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW REGULATORS REPLACED. EACH TIME I WAS TOLD A NEW REGULATOR WAS PUT IN. WHEN I QUESTIONED THE QUALITY OF THE REGULATORS, THE DEALER TOLD ME MY COMPLAINT WAS WITH GM AND NOT THEM BECAUSE THEY GET THEIR PARTS FROM GM. HOW CAN THE WINDOW REGULATORS BE "BAD" THREE TIMES IN LESS THAN A YEAR? BESIDES THE WINDOWS, I'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH AUTOMATIC LOCKS NOT WORKING AND THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR NOT CLOSING. THE CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE WARRENTY EXPIRES AND I NEED YET ANOTHER WINDOW REGULATOR? I DO NOT QUALIFY FOR THE NJ USED CAR LEMON LAW BECAUSE THE PROBLEMS BEGAN THREE MONTHS BEYOND THE LIMITATION DATE, EVEN THOUGH I MET EVERY OTHER QUALIFICATION.

ABOUT A TWO YEARS AGO I NOTICED THE AIR WAS BLOWING WARMER THAN USUAL SO I TOOK MY CAR IN TO GET FREON PUT IN MY CAR THINKING IT WAS LOW....AFTER ABOUT 3 DAYS, IT STARTED BLOWING WARM AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY THOUGHT THERE WAS MAYBE A LEAK, SO THEY PUT DYE IN THE SYSTEM...I TOOK IT BACK 2 DAYS LATER, AND THEY FOUND THERE WERE LEAKS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE SYSTEM. I WAS TOLD THE ENTIRE SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, WHICH WAS GOING TO COST ABOUT $1500-$2000 (INCL. LABOR) I WAS OUTRAGED BY THIS, AS THE CAR WASN'T EVEN 5 YEARS OLD!! I MAINTAINED THE CAR JUST AS I SHOULD HAVE BEEN. (I HAVE A RELATIVE WHO IS A MECHANIC, AND SO HE ALWAYS DOES THE SERVICE ON MY CAR!) I AM JUST CURIOUS IF THERE ARE OTHERS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM, AND IF SO, WHAT WAS DONE ABOUT IT? *JB

THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT FAILS TO CONNECT, ONLY AFTER NUMEROUS TRIES WILL IT FINALLY CONNECT AND STAY FASTENED. THE HIGH PRESSURE AIR CONDITIONING LINE IS RUBBING ON THE RADIATOR FAN CAUSING A HOLE IN THE LINE, WHICH NOW NEEDS TO BE FIXED.*AK

TREAD IS SEPARATING FROM THE TIRE , COOPER TIRE CO WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT REPLACING THE TIRE. *TR

AFTER AN ACCIDENT, MY RIGHT REAR DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE. OCCASIONALLY, YOU CANNOT START IT ON THE FIRST TRY. THE BRAKES LOCK AND THE TIRES DO NOT TREAD ALTHOUGH THEY ARE BOTH UNDER 6 MONTHS OLD.*AK
