YESTERDAY MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND CAME TO A STOP LIGHT AS HE SLOWED DOWN THE ENGINE JUST CUT OFF. THIS SAME THING HAPPENED LAST YEAR ONCE AND THE CAR DEALER LINDSAY CHEVROLET SAID IT WAS NOT A PROBLEM. I AM NOW FINDING THAT HARD TO BELIEVE. *TR
CAR STALLS INTERMITTENTLY, USUALLY WHEN COMING TO A STOP. THIS IS EITHER WITH THE CLUTCH ENGAGED OR WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL. THE IDLE DIPS TO ABOUT 500RPM, FLUCTUATES, AND EITHER GOES BACK UP TO 900RPM OR STALLS THE CAR. RESTARTS ARE HARD. THE CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 61,000 MILES. IT HAS HAPPENED FREQUENTLY FOR THE PAST SIX MONTHS. SOME DAYS IT'S FINE, AND OTHERS IT STALLS EVERY TIME YOU COME TO A STOP LIGHT. *TR

I HAVE A 2003 CHEVY CAVALIER WITH 56,200 MILES ON IT AND MY WIFE AND I WERE RETURNING HOME TO FLINT MI. @ 10 PM ON I75 IN MICHIGAN WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN AND THAN IT PICKED UP TO NORMAL SPEED FOR A COUPLE OF MILES AND THAN IT STALLED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. THE ONLY LIGHT THAT CAME ON WAS TRACTION CONTROL OFF LIGHT. WE WALKED TO THE NEAREST EXIT AND CALLED OUR SON TO COME GET US - WE WERE APPROX. 30 MILES FROM HOME @ 10:30PM. I COULD NOT GET THE CAR TOWED UNTIL THE NEXT MORNING DUE TO SEVERE STORMS IN THE AREA. I RESEARCHED THE INTERNET AND IT WAS VERY OBVIOUS THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM TO HAVE THE FUEL PUMP QUIT ON 2003 CAVALIERS. I CALLED AND HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY SON-IN-LAWS HOUSE (36 MILES). I HAD TO MEET THE DRIVER AND SHOW HIM WHERE TO TAKE THE CAR. I TOOK THE DAY OFF WORK AND CALLED TO GET PRICES ON FUEL PUMP MODULES. THE NORMAL COST IS OVER $400 FOR THE MODULE. AFTER THE CAR WAS TOWED MY SON-IN-LAW USED HIS TESTER AND THERE WAS NOT ANY CODES IN THE ECM. WE THAN TESTED THE FUEL PUMP AND THERE WAS NOT ANY NOISE INDICATING THAT THE PUMP WAS NOT WORKING. I WENT AND BOUGHT A PUMP WHICH LISTED FOR $420 AND JUST BECAUSE I WAS A GM EMPLOYEE - I WAS ABLE TO GET A DISCOUNT AND ONLY PAID $240.00. MY SON-IN-LAW CHARGED ME $100 TO REPLACE THE PUMP AND THE CAR RUNS FINE. BY THE WAY THE TOWING BILL WAS $110 BUT THE INSURANCE COMPANY WOULD NOT COVER THE TOTAL BILL BECAUSE I DID NOT TAKE IT TO THE NEAREST REPAIR FACILITY. IT WOULD HAVE COST ME IN EXCESS OF $800 TO TAKE IT
CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED RESPONDING WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. AS A CONSEQUENCE, I HAD TO PULL OVER. THE CAR COMPLETELY FAILED WITHOUT ANY PREVIOUS SIGNS OF FAILURE OR WARNING. WHEN TAKEN TO THE MECHANIC, I WAS TOLD THAT THE FUEL PUMP HAD FAILED. FUEL PUMP AND FUEL FILTER WERE REPLACED. *JB
ON 2003 CHEVY CAVALIER THE WIPER MOTOR TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY IS MADE UP WITH A PLASTIC SNAP BUSHING . WHEN IT WEARS OUT THE WIPER DOES NOT WORK. THE ARM COMES APART.

SOME ONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. JESS APPLEBY *TR
HARD OR IMPOSSIBLE TO CHANGE HVAC MODE OR TEMPERATURE SETTINGS. *JB

MY 2003 CHEVY CAVALIER HAS STALLED OUT SEVERAL TIMES WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT SPEEDS NOT OVER 25 MPH. THIS WAS VERY SCARY AND IT DEFINITELY COULD HAVE CAUSED A BIG PROBLEM AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED, BECAUSE YOU LOSE EVERYTHING WHEN IT DIES. I JUST HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP , ON A CAR THAT IS LESS THAN 4 YEARS OLD, HAS LESS THAN 32,000 MILES ON IT, AND ALL MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN COMPLETED PER DEALER RECOMMENDATIONS. THE CARS WARRANTY WAS THE 3 YEAR/ 30,000 MILE WARRANTY, SO THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT HAVE HELPED WITH THE REPAIR BILL. THERE IS SOMETHING NOT QUITE RIGHT ABOUT THIS CAR EVEN THOUGH THE FUEL PUMP HAS BEEN REPLACED, AT TIMES IT GOES BY ITSELF WITHOUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL- I HAVE TO APPLY THE BRAKE TO SLOW IT DOWN. *JB
MY 2003 CHEVY CAVALIER STALLED OUT WHILE GOING 35 MILES AN HOUR. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO AN AUTO SHOP WHERE THEY INFORMED ME MY FUEL PUMP FAILED.

MY 2003 CHEVY CAVALIER WITH 55,000 MILES WAS RUNNING FINE, THEN ONE DAY AFTER DOING SOME GROCERY SHOPPING, I STARTED THE CAR AND IT STALLED. TRYING TO PULL OUT OF A PARKING SPACE IN THE SHOPPING CENTER, THE CAR STALLED AT LEAST 6 MORE TIMES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT START UP AND STAYED ON. I DROVE THE CAR AROUND THE PARKING LOT OF THE SHOPPING CENTER AND IT STARTED TO SETTLE DOWN. I DECIDED TO TRY AND DRIVE IT HOME WHERE THERE IS AN AUTO SHOP I USE RIGHT BY MY HOUSE. THE CAR DIDN'T MAKE IT EVEN A 1/2 MILE (ONLY TO THE NEXT TRAFFIC LIGHT) WHERE IT STALLED AT THE RED LIGHT LEAVING ME STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUY INTERSECTION. I HAD SOME GUYS FROM A LOCAL GOODYEAR SHOP HELP ME PUSH THE VEHICLE INTO THEIR PARKING LOT, FROM WHICH I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY LOCAL SHOP. ON INVESTIGATION THE CAR NEEDED A NEW FUEL PUMP, WHICH A GM AUTHORIZED DEALER WOULD SELL FOR $700. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET CAVALIER. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND FAILED TO ACCELERATE.

2003 CHEVY CAVALIER. FUEL PUMP FAILED WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE I-70. THEREFORE, CAR STALLED AND HAD TO SECURE A TOW TRUCK. CAR WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST CHEVROLET DEALER, MOLLE CHEVRELOT IN BLUE SPRINGS, MISSOURI. REPAIRS WERE APPROXIMATELY $1,000 TO REPLACE FUEL PUMP WHICH IS LOCATED IN THE GAS TANK. I PAID FOR THE REPAIRS AND FEEL THAT I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FROM GENERAL MOTORS.
THERE WAS NO LEAD IN TO FUEL PUMP FAILURE. STOPPED AFTER WORK TO PURCHASE A GROCERY ITEM AND THEN RETURNED TO VEHICLE. AT THAT POINT THE CHEVY CAVALIER WOULD NOT START. AAA CAME AND TOWED VEHICLE TO REPAIR FACILITY. I WAS SHOCKED THAT A VEHICLE WITH LESS THEN 35,000 MILE WOULD HAVE A SUDDEN FAILURE OF THIS SORT WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR SYMPTOM. I FEEL FORTUNATE THAT I WAS NOT DRIVING AT THE TIME.
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY 2003 CAVALIER BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN, I THOUGHT THIS WAS ODD BECAUSE I WAS STILL HOLDING DOWN THE ACCELERATOR. THE CAR SEEMED TO BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN A SPEED OF ABOUT 60MPH FOR ABOUT ANOTHER MILE WHEN THE CAR BEGAN TO SLOW AGAIN THEN THE CAR COULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 40MPH AND IT EVENTUALLY DIED COMPLETELY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WITH CARS DOING 70MPH ZOOMING PAST ME. I FINALLY MADE IT TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY AND HAD THE CAR TOWED, AFTER PERFORMING TROUBLESHOOTING, I FOUND OUT IT IS THE FUEL PUMP THAT HAS GONE OUT AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. MY CAR ONLY HAS 57,000 MILES ON IT AND AT THE TIME I STILL HAD HALF OF A TANK FULL OF FUEL, I NEVER LET THE TANK GET BELOW HALF WAY SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I CAME ACROSS HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME EXACT YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL AS MY CAR THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN THE CAR GETS AROUND 55,000 - 68,000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE ISSUE AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. *TR

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
