1997 Chevrolet Cavalier complaints

MY 97 CHEVY CAVALIER HAS BLOWN THROUGH 3 HEAD GASKETS, 3 WATER PUMPS, 3 HEATER CORES AND 3 THERMOSTATS WITHIN THE 3 YEARS I'VE OWNED THE CAR DUE TO COOLANT LEAKAGE OUT OF A PLACE THAT NO MECHANIC CAN SEEM TO FIGURE OUT. ALSO, THE ENGINE STALLS WHEN THE CAR IS IN IDLE AT RANDOM TIMES. I'VE BEEN STUCK LATE AT NIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY AND IN THE COLD WITH MY INFANT DAUGHTER SEVERAL TIMES AND NO ONE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *LA

SAFETY RECALL AND REIMBURSEMENT. *MR CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES AND MINI VANS HAVE LOWER PINION BEARING IN THE POWER RACK AND PINION ASSEMBLY IN WHICH THE RETAINER TABS WERE NOT CRIMPED PROPERLY. THESE AND SOME OTHER RETAINERS USED IN VEHICLES ASSEMBLED BETWEEN JANUARY 1,1996 AND OCTOBER 31,1997 THAT COULD FAIL AND PERMIT THE BALL BEARING TO ESCAPE.

KNOCKING NOISE KEEPS GETTING LOUDER. HAPPENS ALL TIME HAPPENS MORE WHEN SPEEDING UP.*AK

WHEN MY CAR FIRST STARTED ACTING UP, THE STEERING WOULD KIND OF HANG WHEN TURING TO THE LEFT. I AM NOT A MECHANIC SO I THOUGHT IT WAS THE POWER STEERING GOING OUT. I CHANGED THE POWER STEERING PUMP WHICH HELPED IT SOME. ABOUT TWO DAYS LATER MY FRIEND AND I WERE GOING TO SCHOOL, WHILE GOING AROUND A CURVE TO THE LEFT, THE STEERING WHEEL HUNG AGAIN. I THOUGHT IT WOULD STRAIGHTEN BACK OUT BUT I WAS WRONG. THE STEERING WHEEL JERKED TO THE RIGHT SENDING US OFF THE ROAD RIGHT INTO A TREE AT ABOUT 30 M\P\H. MY FRIEND SUFFERED AN INJURY TO HIS HIP AND HAD TO HAVE SURGERY. MY CAR WAS TOTALED BECAUSE OF SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF THE CAR. I NEVER GOT THE RECALL STATEMENT AND HAVE YET TO. GM HAS NOW SAID THEY WILL NOT COMPINSATE ME OR MY FRIEND FOR DAMAGES SUSTAINED.*AK

RACK AND PINION FAILURE. WHILE TURNING ONTO THE INTERSTATE MY 17 YEAR OLDS 1997 CHEVY CAVALIER STEERING LOCKED, MAKIING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT. FORTUNATELY SHE ONLY GRAZED THE GAURD RAIL BUT THIS COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN A FATAL FAILURE. *AK

MY MOTHER HAS A 1997 CAVALIER WHICH SHE BOUGHT USED. SINCE SHE HAS HAD THE VEHICLE THERE HAS BEEN TWO RECALLS AND UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION ON MY PART I FOUND ON YOUR SITE 5 MORE TOTALING 7 IN ALL. SHE BOUGHT THE CAR IN AUGUST OF 2001. WHEN THE CAR REACHED 109,000 THE OIL PUMP WENT OUT AND SHE HAD TO SPEND 3,000 DOLLARS TO GET ANOTHER ENGINE PUT IN, AND SHE DON'T EVEN HAVE THE CAR PAID OFF. WITH THESE NEWER CARS 109,000 IS NOTHING AND EVEN IN THE OLDER VEHICLES I HAVE NEVER HAD AN OIL PUMP GO OUT WITH THAT LITTLE BIT OF MILES ON THE ENGINE. I HAVE FRIENDS WHO ARE MECHANICS THAT I HAVE TALKED TO AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE HAD A LOT OF THESE PARTICULAR ENGINES BEING THE 2.2 LITER WITH BAD OIL PUMPS IN THEM. THIS IS THE REASON I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT FOR MY MOTHER. MY BROTHER HAS A 2000 CAVALIER WITH 239,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS NEVER HAD A BIT OF PROBLEM SO MOST LIKELY IT WAS IN A PARTICULAR YEAR OF VEHICLE THAT BAD OIL PUMPS WERE INSTALLED. HE ALSO HAS THE 2.2 LITER ENGINE. SO COULD YOU PLEASE FIND OUT IF THIS IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM BECAUSE I SURE WOULD LIKE TO GET MY MOTHERS MONEY BACK BECAUSE SHE IS ON A FIXED INCOME. *JB

I HAVE A 1997 CHEVROLET CAVALIER THAT RIGHT AFTER PURCHASE (1998) THE ENGINE NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE DEALER AS PER THE SERVICE CONTRACT DID THIS. SKIP AHEAD TO NOW (2003), THE CAR DEVELOPED A COOLANT LEAK. IT WAS LOOKED AT AND TESTED BY MY LOCAL MECHANIC AND WAS DIAGNOSED AS A BAD HEAD GASKET. I CALLED THE DEALER THAT REPLACED THE ENGINE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ENTIRE ENGINE WAS REPLACED. I ASKED ABOUT THEM FIXING THE HEAD GASKET, AS IT SHOULD NOT BE LEAKING (THE ENGINE HAS 38,000 MILES ON IT) THEY SAID NO. I CALLED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED BY A GM DEALER AT THE COST OF $79.95. THIS WAS DONE, THE DEALER SAID IT WAS A BAD GASKET AND/OR CRACKED HEAD. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID THAT SINCE THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THAT ONLY A SHORT BLOCK WAS INSTALLED THEY WOULD DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. MY COMPLAINT IS THIS; I'VE BEEN LIED TO BY MY LOCAL DEALER. THE CAVALIER HAS THIS KNOWN DEFECT. GM HAS DONE NOTHING TO TELL ME ABOUT IT, BUT THEY HAVE ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT IT TO THE DEALERS. AND NOW THEY WON'T REPAIR THE VEHICLE, NOT WILL THEY OFFER TO PAY ANY PORTION OF IT'S REPAIR. I WOULD LIKE ANY AND ALL HELP IN FORCING GM TO FIX THIS. *NLM

ELECTRICAL WIRES HAD BLOWN UNDER THE DASH BOARD. CONSUMER WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IS IT RELATED TO THE ELECTRICAL RECALL. WARNING LIGHTS ON SINCE PURCHASE OF VEHICLE. IT TOOK THREE TRIPS TO DEALER BEFORE DEALER FOUND SHORT UNDER DASH. A FEW WEEKS LATER VEHICLE HAD TO BE JUMP STARTED. RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE FOR ELECTRICAL IGNITION. WHEN AIR CONDITIONER WAS SERVICED, MECHANIC FOUND CIRCUITS SUPPLYING POWER TO THE COMPRESSOR HAD BLOWN. MECHANIC TRACED WIRES UNDER DASH AND FOUND WIRES HAD MELTED AND SHORTENED OUT.

WHEN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE TURNED OFF, THEY STOP IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION OBSTRUCTING THE DRIVERS VIEW WHILE DRIVING. THIS POSES A HAZARD WHILE DRIVING, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO CONCENTRATE ON THE ROAD.

THE BRAKES GRABBED WHEN THEY WERE APPLIED.*JB..*AK

I HAVE A 1997 CAVALIER (THE WARRENTY BEGAN IN FEB. '97). JUST RECENTLY FOUND OUT I NEED THE HEAD GASKET REPLACED AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $1200. NOTICED THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, ALTHOUGH IN 96'S. MY CAR HAS 70,000 MILES ON IT, AND FROM WHAT I'VE LEARNED, A HEAD GASKET SHOULD LAST ABOUT 10 YEARS OF 100,000 MILES. I WOULD LIKE CHEVY TO GET INVOLVED AND PAY FOR THIS, SINCE IT OBVIOUSLY SEEMS TO BE SUCH A PROBLEM WITH CAVALIERS.

CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE TO THE LEFT.*JB

NHTSA 02-V-286-000. CONSUMER WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT THE NECESSARY PARTS TO COMPLETE THE RECALL WAS NOT AVAILABLE.*JB
