THE DASH MOUNT ON CAVALIER 2000 CRACKED IN CENTER. GM DEALER SAID I CRACKED IT ,BUT THERE ARE 7 MORE CAVALIERS IN MY WORK PARKING LOT ALONE WITH THE SAME CENTER CRACK IN THE DASH MOUNT. GM TREATED ME VERY POORLY WHEN I REPORTED IT, I AM NOT VERY HAPPY WITH THE RUN-A-ROUND , SINCE MY FATHER WORKED 30 YEARS FOR GM IN THE WILLMINGTON DE. PLANT.*AK

WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH A FIRE STARTED ON THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. CONSUMER HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP, WHO DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK

PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE STARTING UP AS WELL AS GETTING THE HEADLIGHTS TO WORK.*MR THE CONSUMER HAD THE RECALL WORK PERFORMED WHICH WAS RELATED TO THE IGNITION. THE CONSUMER BELIEVES THAT THE IGNITION FAILURE MAY HAVE ALSO CAUSED THE FAILURE OF THE HEADLIGHTS. THE RECALL STATED THAT THE HIGH CURRENT COULD PRODUCE ENOUGH HEAT TO MELT INTERNAL SWITCH PARTS. THE CONSUMER ALSO EXPERIENCED SMOKING AND A BURNING SMELL AT THE STEERING COLUMN. THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD BY THE TECHNICIAN THAT THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH SHORTED OUT AND THAT REPAIR WOULD COST $270. THE CONSUMER FEELS THIS SHOULD BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE IGNITION RECALL. *NM

TRACK OFF LIGHT COMES ON AND THAN THE CAR WILL JUST STOP/STALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TO 5 TIMES IN DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATIONS; IN THE MIDDLE OF A LEFT TURN. THE DEALER HAS HAD THE CAR TWICE AND ARE UNABLE TO MAKE THE PROBLEM REOCCUR. THEY CAN SEE ON THE COMPUTER THAT IT STOPPED BUT THAT IS ALL. THE SERVICE DEPT AT THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN WONDERFUL THEY JUST CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. I AM VERY AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR.

THE TRIM AROUND MY DASHBOARD CONTINUES TO CRACK IN THE SAME PLACE. IT HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE ALREADY. EVERYONE THAT I KNOW HAS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME TYPE OF VEHICLE. A FRIEND HAS A 1997 CAVALIER WITH THE SAME DAMAGE. MY SON HAS A 1999 CAVALIER, SAME DAMAGE. MY WIFE HAS A COWORKER AND I HAVE 2 COWORKERS THAT ALSO OWN 2000 CAVALIERS, SAME DAMAGE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS A STRESS FRACTURE.*AK

THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND THE FUEL INJECTORS WERE REPLACED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE NEXT 4 TIMES (ALL IN THE SAME DAY) I WAS DRIVING TO AND FROM PENSACOLA, FLORIDA ON INTERSTATE 110 AND HIGHWAY 98 AND THE GAS FILTER AND SPARK PLUGS WERE CHANGED. THESE INCIDENTS WERE IN THE SPRING 2003. THE DEALER INFORMED ME IN APRIL 2003 THAT THE SPARK PLUGS WERE THE PROBLEM AND THEY FIXED IT AND SAID WE SHOULD BE FINE. THE MOST RECENT EPISODE WAS ON HIGHWAY 20 IN NICEVILLE, FLORIDA. I WAS DRIVING WITH MY WIFE AND NEWBORN WHEN THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING AGAIN AND THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT GETTING HIT. CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING WITH NO WARNING AND WAS STRANDED ON THE INTERSTATE AND BUSY HIGHWAY. MOST RECENTLY THE PROBLEM CANNOT BE FIXED. THIS CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AND I BOUGHT IT NEW WITH KEEPING THE MAINTENCE UP. AS OF NOW THE CAR CANNOT BE STARTED AND THEY HAVE NO CLUE AS TO WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I AM CONCERNED AS THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE WHERE I COULD NOT GET TO THE SHOULDER OR ON THE LOCAL MILE LONG BRIDGE WHERE THERE IS NO PLACE TO PULL OVER TO. I AM JUST GLAD MY WIFE AND CHILD WERE NOT INJURED THIS TIME. *LA

IGNITION SWITCH RECALL 04036000 REPAIRS WERE NOT PERFORMED ON CORRECT VEHICLE BECAUSE THE INCORRECT VEHICLE YEAR WAS PRINTED ON THE RECALL NOTIFICATION. DEALERSHIP INSTALLED THE RECALL PART ON THE WRONG VEHICLE. THEN, DEALERSHIP REMOVED THE RECALLED PART WHEN IT REALIZED THAT VIN DIDN'T MATCH THE VIN NUMBER PRINTED ON THE RECALL LETTER. CURRENTLY, THE MANUFACTURER'S SYSTEM WAS SHOWING THAT RECALL REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED ALTHOUGH IT WAS DONE ON THE WRONG VEHICLE. *AK

I PURCHASED THIS CAR NOT EVEN 2 YEARS AGO. IT HAD A FAULTY FRONT END AND KEPT GOING BACK TO THE DEALER. IT WAS FINALLY REPAIRED, THE FACTORY GUARANTEE COVERED THE COST OF THIS REPAIR. YET, THEY STILL HAD A STATE INSPECTION STICKER ON IT SAYING THAT IT HAD PASSED. I HAD A TOP MOTOR MOUNT REPLACED 2 MONTHS AGO. I CONTACTED GM AND WAS GIVEN EVERY EXCUSE THAT IT WASN'T THEIR FAULT. THE COST FOR THIS REPAIR, $200, OUT OF MY POCKET. ON 6/15/04, I HAD FRONT BREAKS PUT ON. PLUS 2 ROTORS, AS THEY NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE COST OF THIS REPAIR, $348.44, OUT OF MY POCKET. I WAS TOLD BY THE TECHNICIAN THAT DID THE BREAKS THAT MY WHEEL BEARINGS ARE NEEDING REPLACEMENT. I HAVE TO BUY THE WHOLE WHEEL HUB AND HAVE THEM PUT ON THE CAR. I DON'T KNOW THE PRICE OF THESE PARTS YET, BUT, IT WILL BE OUT OF MY POCKET.

THIS IS UTTERLY RIDICULOUS ON A 2000 VEHICLE FOR THIS TO HAPPEN AND GM STATES NOT ARE PROBLEM THINGS HAPPEN , YES THINGS HAPPEN BUT NOT CONTINUOUS ON NEW VEHICLES AND THE SAME PROBLEM I THINK GM REALLY NEEDS TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THIS FOR SOME TYPE OF DEFECT THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND VERY COSTLY

AFTER PURCHASE OF MY VEHICLE - BATTERY WAS DEAD DEALER REPLACED NEW BATTERY LOST COOLANT - ENGINE WAS SMOKING THEN FOUND OUT VEHICLE WAS ON RECALL HAD TO REPLACE ROTORS AND PADS WITH LESS THAN 20,000 MILES ON VEHICLE SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO IMPROVE THE BRAKE SYSTEM ON THE CHEVY CAVALIERS THEY DO NOT LAST.
