2002 Chevrolet Cavalier complaints

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO EXTRACT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT, THE RETRACTOR WOULD NOT RETRACT THE SEAT BELT STRAP BACK INTO PLACE. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT ALERTED.

CRUISE CONTROL STAYED ON AFTER HITTING BREAKS EVEN TRIED SWTICHING IT OFF AND THAT DID NOT WORK ONLY WHEN I PRESSED IN ON THE CLUTCH DID IT DISENGAGE. BUT NOT BEFOR THE ENGINE REVED UP TO OVER 5000 RPM. THIS COULD DAMAGE THE ENGINE

I HAVE A 2002 CHEVROLET CAVALIER AND I ALMOST HAD A BAD ACCIDENT WITH THIS CAR. THE IGNITION SWITCH AND WHEELS LOCKED UP ON ME AND I WAS STILL IN ONE PLACE AND A EIGHTEEN WHEELER RAN INTO ME. I HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH THIS CAR EVERYTIME I LOOK UP. *JB

HAVE HAD TO REPLACE POWER WINDOW MOTORS A TOTAL OF 5 TIMES. LESS THAN 80,000 MILES. ONE DRIVER. NO ABUSE. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE MOTORIZED WINDOWS DID NOT MOVE UP OR DOWN ON TWO OCCASIONS. THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED A NEW MOTOR WAS NEEDED TO REPAIR THE POWER WINDOWS. *NM UPDATED 8/29/2006 - *NM

ACCORDING TO THE OVERLAND PARK POLICE DEPARTMENT AN ELECTRICAL FIRE STARTED NEAR THE PASSENGER FLOOR BOARD ON MY SONS 2002 CHEVROLET CAVALIER Z MODEL. THE CAR WAS TOTALLY ENGULFED BEFORE FIRE/RESCUE COULD ARRIVE. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE THAT CAN INJURE OTHERS. *JB

TWO YEARS AGO MY 2002 CHEVROLET CAVALIER(THEN TWO YEARS OLD) HAD THE BARREL THAT THE KEY GOES INTO ON THE STEERING COLUMN BREAK. NOW, TWO YEARS LATER IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN. *NM

WE WERE TOLD THE CAR WAS INSPECTED BEFORE WE BOUGHT IT! HEAD LIGHT OUT OF ADJUSTMENT BRAKE AND TAIL LIGHTS NOT WORKING ENGINE STARED RUNNING ROUGH FEW HOURS AFTER WE DROVE OFF A CD WAS FOUND STUCK IN THE PLAYER DOOR NEEDED ALIGNMENT PARKING BRAKES NOT WORKING RIGHT. *NM

AT APPROXIMATELY 30000 MILES MY CAR WOULD SHAKE OR BOUNCE, SOMETIMES VIOLENTLY, WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WERE CHECKED AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ROTORS WERE WARPED, THOUGH THE PADS WERE OK. THE ROTORS WERE TURNED AND EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS UNTIL THE PROBLEM RETURNED. AGAIN THE ROTORS WERE TURNED, AND THIS TIME THE PADS REPLACED. BUT A FEW MONTHS LATER THE PROBLEM RETURNED YET AGAIN. NOW THE ROTORS HAVE TO BE REPLACED, AS WELL AS THE PADS. A CO-WORKER SAID HE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ON HIS 2002 CAVALIER. HE WAS TOLD AT A CHEVY DEALERSHIP THAT THE ROTORS WERE TOO SMALL ON THE CAR AND WARPED EASILY DUE TO THIS DEFECT. THIS SEEMS TO ME TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE SINCE ROTORS THAT ARE TOO SMALL MAY CAUSE A BRAKE FAILURE. *JB

FRONT END BOUNCES AND MAKES NOISE. TOOK TO SERVICE CENTER WITH APPROX 8000 MILES AND HAD STRUTS REPLACED. HAPPENED 3000 MILES LATER, HAD STRUTS REPLACED AGAIN! THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES WHICH I HAVE PAID FOR OUT OF MY POCKET. THIS IS A DEFECTIVE CAR!!! *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE DISPLAYS ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER INTERMITTENTLY GO OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE DISPLAY THAT GOES OFF MOST FREQUENT IS THE ELECTRONIC ODOMETER.

UPON INSPECTION, THE FIRE MARSHAL DETERMINED THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE POWER STEERING PUMP. THE POWER STEERING FLUID LEAKED ONTO THE ENGINE CAUSING THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS DETERMINED TOTALED BY THE FIRE MARSHAL.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WITHOUT WARNING, THE VEHICLE LOOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, THE VEHICLE RESTARTS. THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN A SHORT DISTANCE AND IT LOOSES POWER AGAIN. THIS CONTINUES UNTIL THE VEHICLE REACHES THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. NO OTHER REPAIRS HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTED. UPDATED 02/21/06. *JB

I STARTED MY CAR IN THE AM AND NOTICED MY TRAC LIGHT WAS ON(KNOWING IT IS NOT SUPPOSE TO BE ON UNLESS I AM IN 1ST OR 2ND GEAR. THEN I SMELLED BURNING ELECTRICAL. TOOK IT TO THE CHEVY GARAGE AND FOUND OUT MY ENGINE COOLANT FAN INTERNALLY SHORTED, THEY REPLACED THE FAN MOTOR, A SENSOR AN ELEMENT AND A FUSE KIT. AT A SUBSTANTIAL COST.

2002 CHEVY CAVALIER LS THE TAG ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR FRAME WITH THE RECOMMENDED TIRE SIZE AND PSI INFORMATION HAS WORN OFF .... MY CALLS TO GM HAVE RESULTED WITH THEM SAYING 5 PSI BELOW MAX PRESSURE ON THE TIRE THAT WOULD PUT THE TIRE PRESSURE AT 45 PSI WHICH SEEMS INSANE... AS A PERSON WHO HAS HAD A TIRE BLOW OUT ON THE INTERSTATE I AM CONCERNED WITH THIS ANSWER. IT SEEMS TO ME THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR EVERY ONE WHO OWNS THESE CARS AND THE TAG HAS WORN OFF ... INSIDE THE OWNERS MANUAL IT SAYS TO FOLLOW THE RECOMMENDED PSI ON THE TAG TO AVOID EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR AND POSSIBLE ROAD HAZARDS. SHOULDN'T THE TAG STILL BE INTACT AFTER 3 YEARS. *NM

MY CAR IS TWO AND A HALF YEARS OLD AND HAS A LOT OF HIGHWAY MILES. I HAD 80,000 MILES ON THE CAR (I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO LOG WELL OVER 220,000 MILES ON PAST CARS OVER 5-6 YEARS DUE TO HIGHWAY MILEAGE). ONE NIGHT WHILE DRIVING HOME THE "TRAC-OFF" LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND THE CAR WOULD OCCASIONALLY LOSE SPEED. EVENTUALLY THE TRAC OFF LIGHT STAYED ON THE CAR BEGAN TO DIE OUT ALONG THE SIDE OF THE ROLE. AS A RESULT I HAD MY CAR TOWED IN AND THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED. TOTAL COSTS WERE WELL OVER $800.00. I WROTE TO GM BUT WAS REJECTED ON REIMBURSEMENT. THE FUEL PUMP PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AS I'VE LOOKED AT COMPLAINTS THE FIRESTONE AUTO REPAIR CENTER SAID THE DESIGN/PLACEMENT OF THE FUEL PUMP HAS CAUSED THEM TO BURN OUT. *NM

CONSUMER ENGINE MAKES A POPPING SOUND AS IF IT IS GOING TO EXPLODED. *TS THE CONSUEMR REPLACED THE TIMING GEAR, CHAIN, TENSIONER, AND PULLEY ON 2/22/2005. THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO MAKE LOUD NOISES. *NM

IT WAS REPLACED ON FEBRUARY 22, 2005, AND NEEDED TO REPLACED AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP SPOTTED THE PROBLEM, BUT SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY IT WAS TAKEN TO A FIRESTONE SERVICE STATION. THE ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE IT ABOUT TO FALL OUT. THERE WAS A LOT OF POPPING AND CRACKING NOISE, THAT WAS HOW THIS WAS NOTICED. *AK

DT: THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THERE WAS A RIM FAILURE ON THE ALLOY WHEELS. THE VEHICLE IS A 2002 CHEVROLET CAVALIER. THE CONSUMER WAS DRIVING AT 40 MPH WHEN THIS OCCURED.

I WAS BROADSIDED WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN INTO A SHOPPING CENTER ON JULY 8, 2005. MY PASSENGER SIDE DOORS WERE COMPLETELY PUSHED IN. THE CAR WAS CONSIDERED A TOTAL LOSS BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. DRIVER'S AIR BAG AND PASSENGER AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I SUFFERED SERIOUS DAMAGE TO MY STOMACH AREA, RESULTING IN 3 DAYS OF NON-STOP VOMITING.

AUG 31 2002, PURCHASED VEHICLE. DECEMBER 5, 2002: ABS ACTIVATED - LOST BRAKE POWER, SAILED THROUGH RED LIGHT. ABS ACTIVATED ON DRY PAVEMENT IN GARAGE, NO DECELERATION, USED EMERGENCY BRAKE TO PREVENT COLLISION WITH BACK WALL OF GARAGE. DECEMBER 9, 2002: TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP/ MECHANIC AND MANAGER DROVE THE VEHICLE. SAID ABS WAS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. JANUARY 21, 2003: BRAKES FAILED CAUSING REAR-END COLLLISION. AIRBAGS DIDNT DEPLOY $5,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE TO FRONT END - LESS THAT 4000 MILES ON VEH. CONTACTED GMC, EXPLAINED EVENTS . GMC INVESTIGATOR DOWNLOADED DATA FROM ABS/AIR BAG DEVICE. FROM THAT INFORMATION ALONE, GMC DETERMINED NOTHING WRONG WITH BRAKES WITHOUT DRIVING IT -UNDRIVABLE DAMAGE. I RECEIVED A COPY OF THIS PRINT OUT. IMMEDIATELY UPON GETTING MY VEHICLE BACK FROM THE REPAIR SHOP, I NOTICE VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. REPAIR MECH STATES HE DIDNT TOUCH THE BRAKES - WASNT ACCIDENT RELATED. DEALERSHIP BLAMED THE BRAKE PROBLEMS ON THE ACCIDENT EVEN AFTER REPAIR MECH TOLD THEM DIRECTLY IT WASNT. DEALER TURNED MY ROTORS AND REPLACED THE LEFT WHEEL BEARING WHICH WAS BROKEN. I STILL HAVE CONSISTANT PROBLEMS WITH THE ABS -ACTIVATES FOR NO REASON/DOESNT ACTIVATE WHEN IT IS SUPPOSED TO/WHEN ACTIVATED IT DOESNT SLOW THE CAR DOWN/WHEN ACTIVATES -ALL BRAKE POWER IS GONE. THE LEFT FRONT TIRE LOCKS UP AND SKIDS REGULARLY WHEN BRAKING BUT ABS DOESNT ACTIVATE. AN INDEPENDANT MECH POINTED OUT THE DEALERSHIP HAD TURNED MY ROTORS TO A POINT BEYOND THE "

PURCHASED CAR IN MARCH 2003. IN NOV. 2003, FUEL PUMP AND HEAD GASKETS WENT OUT AND NEEDED REPLACING. IN SEPT. 2004 REPLACED DRIVER SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR. IN DEC. 2004 REPLACED BOTH REAR WINDOW REGULATORS. NOW, IN JUNE 2005, FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW REGULATOR GONE BAD AND NEEDS REPLACING.

DT: CONTACT STATES THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD KEPT GOING OUT, EVENTUALLY THE VEHICLE STALLED. DEALERSHIP STATED THERE WAS BAD GASOLINE IN THE FUEL SYSTEM. THE CONTACT STATES THE PARTS WERE TAKEN TO A DIFFERENT MECHANIC, HE STATED THE FUEL LINES WERE FINE. *AK

GOING TO THE BANK TO USE AN ATM MACHINE...ROLLED WINDOW DOWN, BUT THE WINDOW WOULD NOT ROLL UP...EARLIER I HAD MY CAR WORKED ON DUE TO CRACKED DASH...WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR SPOILER WAS REPLACED, BUT IT IS STARTING TO CRACK AGAIN...WHEN I DRIVE IT IN THE RAIN AND GO TO USE THE BRAKES IT SLIDE TO THE RIGHT AND SEEMS TO LOCK UP ON THE FRONT PASSAGER SIDE...NOTHING WAS DONE TO FIX THE BRAKE, BECAUSE THE DEALER LOOKS AT ME AS IF I AM CRAZY...THE DASH WAS REPLACED...

I GOT THE CAR BRAND NEW AND I HAVE ALWAYS HAD PROBLEMS STARTING THE CAR. IT IS NOT EVERYTIME BUT SOMETIMES I HAVE TO TRY 4 OR 5 TIMES JUST TO GET IT TO START. MY SEAT BELTS NO LONGER RETRACT. I'M NOT A FAT PERSON , AND I DON'T KNOW ANYONE BIG ENOUGH TO RUIN MY SEAT BELT RETRACTORS. MY REAR DEFROSTER BARELY WORKS, AND MY PASSENGER SIDE POWER WINDOW MOTOR ALREADY WENT BAD. I AM VERY DISSATISFIED WITH THIS CAR. *AK

THE BRAKE ROTORS HAD TO BE REPLACED FIVE TIMES IN THE LAST THREE YEARS DUE TO DEFECT.*AK *BF *NM

ON NOV 12, 2004, MY FIANCE WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON A HIGHWAY AND OUR 02 CHEVY CAVALIER LS SPORT COUPE WENT OUT OF CONTROL CAUSING A BAD CRASH INSIDE OF A TUNNEL. THE TIRES WERE IN GOOD CONDITION, THE CAR HAS TRACTION CONTROL AND THE WEATHER WAS FINE. AFTER JUST GETTING OUR CAR BACK FROM BEING IN THE SHOP FOR REPAIRS TO THE FRONT END FOR THREE MONTHS (DUE TO EXCESSIVE DAMAGE), WE TOOK THE CAR TO GET INSPECTED AND IT FAILED BECAUSE HEY FOUND THAT THE REAR WHEEL BEARING IS DAMAGED AND WILL COST ALMOST $500 TO BE REPLACED/REPAIRED. THERE WAS NO INDICATION OR WARNING PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT THAT THIS BEARING HAD BEEN GOING BAD. WE HAD A WHEEL BEARING REPLACED ABOUT A YEAR OR SO AGO BUT IT WAS THE FRONT WHEEL BEARING. WE DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW TWO BEARINGS COULD HAVE WENT BAD SO QUICKLY, AS THE CAR WAS ONLY ABOUT A YEAR OLD WHEN THE FIRST ONE WENT. THIS SECOND ONE WENT A YEAR LATER, MAKING THE CAR ABOUT 2 1/2 YRS OLD. WE BELIEVE NOW THAT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN THE CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT...IF "SPALLING" OR "BRINELLING" OCCURRED, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN THE REASON FOR THE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. HE SAID IT WAS ALMOST LIKE HYDROPLANING-HE FELT THE REAR OF THE CAR KIND OF SLIDE OR WIGGLE TO THE SIDE AND THAT'S WHEN CONTROL WAS LOST. WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM LOOKED AT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BEFORE REPAIRING IN ORDER TO SEE IF THIS WAS THE POSSIBLE CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT. WE WOULD ALSO LIKE TO KNOW WHY THEY WENT BAD IN THE FIRST PLACE AND SEE IF THE OTHER TWO ARE GOING TO NEXT. *JB

SINCE PURCHASING MY 2002 CAVALIER I HAVE HAD TO HAVE MY ROTORS TURNED (2) TIMES AND THEY ARE IN NEED OF IT AGAIN (THIRD TIME). I HAVE ONLY PUT 39450 MILES ON MY CAR AND AFTER THE SECOND TIME I BEGAN TO BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT BRAKING FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME. I HAVE BEEN DOWNSHIFTING WHEN GOING DOWN HILLS INSTEAD OF APPLYING MY BRAKES. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THIS IS OCCURRING SO FREQUENTLY. I HAVE ONLY HAD TO REPLACE MY DISC BRAKES ONE TIME. I HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE IN WHICH I HAD TO HAVE THE ROTORS TURNED SO FREQUENTLY. ESPECIALLY SINCE APPROX 10000 MILES ARE HIGHWAY MILES WHERE VERY LITTLE BRAKING OCCURS. *JB

BOUGHT VEHICLE AT 48,048MILES...2 WEEKS AFTER BUYING VEHICLE, STEERING KNUCKLE ON DRIVERS SIDE WAS IN NEED OF REPAIR, CAUSING VEHICLE TO MAKE CLICKING AND HIGH PITCHED NOISE UNDER COASTING AND SLOWING OF VEHICLE. DEALER IS REPLACING STEERING KNUCKLE ON VEHICLE UNDER WARRENTY.

THE WINDOWS FAILED TO GO UP OR DOWN ON THEIR OWN. DRIVER PRESSED THE REMOTE CONTROL AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE ELECTRICAL WIRING INSIDE OF THE DOOR PANEL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK

THE BLINKER ASSEMBLY UNIT IS BURNING OUT THE BULB ON THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE EVERY OTHER DAY. OWNER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER WHO WANTS TO CHARGE THE OWNER $34.00 JUST TO LOOK AT THE DEFECT. *AK

POWER WINDOWS FAIL - THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THAT I AM RETURNING MY CAR TO THE DEALER, NESSINGER CHEVORLET, MEDFORD, NY FOR THE SAME ISSUE WITHIN A TIMEFRAME OF LESS THAN A YEAR. THIS TIME IT'S FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW, FOR THE SECOND TIME. THE FIRST TIME THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE MOTOR THAT FAILED, CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT THEY TELL ME THE PROBLEM IS THIS TIME, I'M SURE IT WILL BE SOMETHING ELSE FOR THEM TO CHARGE ME WITH. THIS WINDOW IS OPEN AND WILL NOT CLOSE. THIS CAR IS ONLY THREE YEARS OLD, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS KEEPS HAPPENING. I FIND THIS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE NOT TO MENTION A MAJOR INCONVEINENCE. *AK

CAR WENT OUT OF CONTROL AND COULD NOT STEER IT BACK ONTO HIGHWAY, CAR HIT TELEPHONE POLE AND I WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL AND THE CAR WAS TOTALED.*AK

WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEEL COULD HEAR GRINDING NOISE. DEALER GREASED THE PROBLEM WHICH WENT AWAY FOR AWHILE. WHEN THE NOISE CAME BACK THE DEALER SAID THE STEERING GEAR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS CAR HAS 58000 MILES . THE STEERING HAS BECOME EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND SAFTEY HAZARD.*AK

WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE I-75 AT APPROX 75-78 MPH WITH MY CAR'S CRUISE CONTROL SET, I CHANGED LANES TO GO AROUND A SLOWER VEHICLE AT WHICH TIME I WAS ALSO COMING UP TO A VEHICLE IN THE LANE I SWITCHED TO SO WHEN I TAPPED MY BRAKE PEDAL TO RELEASE THE CRUISE CONTROL IT DID NOT DISENGAGE, SO I RAPIDLY STARTING PUSHING THE BUTTON ON THE END OF THE CRUISE CONTROL MECHANISM WHICH DID NOT SLOW ME DOWN EITHER-I TURNED THE BUTTON OF ON THE CRUISE CONTROL IT DID NOT SHUT OFF! I GOT OVER INTO THE SLOW LANE TO PREPARE TO EXIT THE X-WAY BY LITERALLY STANDING ON MY BRAKE PEDAL AND I COULD ONLY GET IT DOWN TO ABOUT 58 MPH WITH MY RPM'S STILL AT OVER 3000 WHEN I EXITED I GOT THE FRONT END OF THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER I WAS GOING TO FAST STILL TO PROPERLY PLACE THE CAR AND I DECIDED I NEEDED TO PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL AND SHUT IT OFF, I MISSED NEUTRAL AND WENT INTO REVERSE AT 58-60 MPH IT JOLTED US BACKWARDS I QUICK REACHED DOWN AND PUT IT BACK INTO DRIVE AND WE FLEW FORWARD AND AT THAT POINT I CRAMMED THE GEAR SHIFT INTO PARK AT 60 MPH- MY ENGINE WAS ROARING AND YOU COULD SMELL NOTHING BUT BURNING. MY FATHER DROVE TO WHERE WE WERE AND SINCE HE IS RETIRED G.M. REPAIR PERSON HE KNEW HOW TO DISCONNECT THE CRUISE CONTROL CABLE AND HE HAD ME FOLLOW HIM AND SAID EVERYTHING SEEMED OK- I NOW HAVE GOTTEN THE CAR TO TEAM HODGES CHEVROLET WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED FOR THEM TO INSPECT AND A REPORT HAS BEEN MADE TO CHEVROLET. *NM

THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE'S ENHANCED TRACTION SYSTEM (ETS). *NM WHEN THE TRACTION LIGHT WOULD COME ON THE VEHICLE WOULD COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN, WHICH OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. *SC *JB

SINCE PURCHASING MY 2002 VEHICLE I HAVE HAD TO ALREADY PUT A NEW BATTERY, NEW ALTERNATOR, NEW TIRES (ACCEPTABLE) TWO SETS OF BRAKES AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STILL IS ON AND NO ONE CAN FIND OUT WHY SO THEREFORE I CAN'T GET AN INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE UNTIL LIGHT IS OFF. HELP. *NM
