2003 Chevrolet Cavalier complaints

FUEL PUMP STALLED ON 2003 CHEVY CAVALIER WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE. *TR

WHILE STOP AT A RED LIGHT VEH.CUT OFF AND WOULD NOT RE-STAR. TOWED TO THE DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP. COST $1,050. I ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH ELECTRIC WINDOWS,TWO MOTORS REPLACED ,ONE SWITCH AND STILL HAVING PROBLEMS. BESIDES THAT NO COMPLAIN. *TR

FUEL PUMP ON 2003 CHEVROLET CAVALIER WENT OUT. ONLY HAVE 110,000 MILES ON CAR. WE WERE DRIVING DOWN I59 WHEN CAR STALLED OUT. CAR HAS BEEN SITTING IN DRIVE WAY FOR 2 MONTHS BECAUSE WE CAN NOT AFFORD TO DISH OUT $600 RIGHT NOW. I CALLED GM AND THEY SAID WE PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC THEY MAY BE ABLE TO HELP WITH REPAIR. I KNOW IT IS A LONG SHOT BUT WORTH A TRY. IF THEY DO NOT PAY FOR REPAIR IT WILL BE ANOTHER 2 MONTHS BEFORE WE CAN GET OUR CAR BACK BECAUSE WE WILL HAVE TO PAY A LITTLE OUT OF EACH PAYCHECK. THERE GOES CHRISTMAS. *TR

FUEL PUMP WENT OUT AT 65,000 MILES LAST YEAR.....DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS SUCH AN ISSUE UNTIL I WAS RESEARCHING IT. *TR

I HAVE AN '03 CHEVY CAVALIER WITH 45,000 MILES. ON 11/5/08 TRYING TO GET HOME FROM WORK THE CAR WOULD NOT START. THE FUEL PUMP CAN NOT BE HEARD WHEN THE KEY IS TURNED TO THE ACCESSORY POSITION. THEIR HAVE BEEN INVESTIGATIONS REGARDING THIS ISSUE BY DOT & GM, BUT NO RECALL. GM IS AWARE THAT GASOLINE PREMATURELY CORRODES THE STARTER ON THESE MODELS, BUT HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT. THE COST TO REPLACE THIS PART IS VERY HIGH, & THE SERVICE LIFE OF THIS PART SHOULD BE MUCH GREATER, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT POSES A GREAT HAZARD IF IT FAILS WHILE DRIVING. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2003 CAVALIER ON SUNDAY 11-2-08, THE CAR SHUT OFF AND I LOST MY POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WITH CARS BEHIND. IT LUCKILY HAPPENED BEFORE AN INTERSECTION SO I WAS BARELY ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. ANYWAYS MY FUEL PUMP WENT OUT. NOW I CAN'T EVEN START MY CAR. I SAW THERE ARE OVER 550 COMPLAINTS, IS CHEVY JUST WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET HURT BEFORE THEY DECIDE TO RECALL THIS FAULTY EQUIPMENT? HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DO THEY NEED? WHILE DRIVING AT A FASTER SPEED AND YOUR CAR SHUTS OFF AND YOU LOSE BRAKES AND POWER STEERING, A PERSON WILL HAVE A PRETTY SEVERE ACCIDENT. CHEVY NEEDS TO RECALL AND REPLACE ALL 2003 CAVALIERS' FUEL PUMP, PEOPLE DON'T HAVE MONEY TO WASTE ON THIS FAULTY EQUIPMENT. I PRETTY MUCH AM NEVER BUYING A CHEVY AGAIN. *TR

CLUSTER STOPS WORKING. READ ABOUT THIS ON SEVERAL FORUMS. SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY DEALER FOR FREE IF THIS IS AN ONGOING COMPLAINT! *TR

THE CAR HAS BEEN IN TWO ACCIDENTS. THE BOTH WERE COMPLETELY REPAIRED, THE REAR LIGHTS HAVE HAD PROBLEMS DUE TO POOR CONNECTIONS AND THE FUEL PUMP WENT OUT. *TR

MY CAR ALMOST CAME TO COMPLETE STOP ON THE FREEWAY AFTER IT POST POWER AND STARTED SLOWING DOWN. LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF THE FREEWAY OFFRAMP. MY MECHANIC SAID IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP ON MY 2003 CHEVY CAVALIER. AFTER INTERNET SEARCHING, I SAW THAT MANY, MANY OTHERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS AND THAT IT SHOULD BE ON THE RECALL LIST. PUT MY NAME ON THAT COMPLAINT LIST. MAYBE AFTER SOMEONE DIES WILL THEY GET THE PART RECALLED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, MY CAR WAS RUNNING FINE AND THEN JUST DIED WITHOUT ANY TYPE OF WARNING. I HAD THE CAR TOWED FOR $100 AND WAS TOLD THAT THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP ON MAY 21ST AND NOW LESS THEN 6 MONTHS LATER, THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENS AGAIN! I HAVE THE CAR LOOKED AT AND ONCE AGAIN, THE FUEL PUMP NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM. WHEN I GOT ON YOUR WEBSITE AND FOUND THAT THE POSSIBLE RECALL HAD BEEN CLOSED, I WANTED TO SCREAM! HOW MANY TIMES AM I GOING TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP BEFORE CHEVY DECIDES TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT? I'M A SINGLE MOM AND CAN'T AFFORD TO DUE THIS EVERY 6 MONTHS! AFTER MY EXPERIENCE WITH MY CHEVY CAVALIER, I WILL NEVER BUY CHEVY AGAIN! I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS ISSUE CAN JUST BE CLOSED WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. SEARCH THE INTERNET! THE FUEL PUMPS IN 2003 CHEVY CAVALIERS GO OUT REPEATEDLY! IT ALSO APPEARS THAT THIS SEEMS TO OCCUR AFTER 50,000 MILE MARK. AT THIS POINT IN TIME, I JUST WANT TO FIX THE CAR SO I CAN GET RID OF IT. I FIND IT COMPLETELY INSANE THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS MATTER. I FIND IT COMPLETELY INSANE THAT CHEVY IS REQUIRED TO FIX THEIR PROBLEM! NO MATTER HOW WELL I TAKE CARE OF MY CAR, THIS WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN BECAUSE THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE FUEL PUMP!! *TR

CAR WOULDN'T START AFTER PUTTING GAS IN IT. CAR WAS TOWED TO CHEVY DEALER, FUEL PUMP REPLACED, AND AFTER THREE DAYS CAR WOULDN'T START AGAIN. *TR

MY FUEL PUMP GAVE OUT ON A 2003 CHEVY CAVALIER AFTER 86,000 MILES OF PROPER MAINTENANCE. I'M NOT REALLY SURE OF THE EVENTS THAT LEAD UP TO THIS PROBLEM, BUT AFTER SPEAKING WITH OTHER OWNERS OF CAVY'S, I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. I AM HAVING TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM WITH 700 DOLLARS!!! PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS TO SEE IF THERE IS A POSSIBLE RECALL ON FUEL PUMPS OF CHEVY CAVALIERS BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE HAS TO COME OUT OF POCKET 700 DOLLARS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND MY CAR STARTED TO SHUT OFF. MY FUEL PUMP WENT OUT. *TR

NO START AND STALL CONDITION ON MY 2003 CAVALIER. IT STARTED WITH A NO START. AFTER READING ON THE INTERNET ABOUT SOMEONE POUNDING ON THEIR FUEL TANK I ATTEMPTED THIS AND TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR AND IT RESTARTED. THIS FREQUENCY OF NO STARTS HAS INCREASED. RECENTLY WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR STALLS AS IF THE CAR IS OUT OF GAS. ONCE IT STALLS IT WILL NOT START. I BANGED ON THE BOTTOM OF THE FUEL TANK AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE CAR AND IT WOULD START. THE FREQUENCY OF THE STALLS ALSO ARE INCREASING AND OCCURS WHEN DRIVING REGARDLESS OF SPEED. THE LAST STALL WAS ON OCT. 22, 2008 WHILE TRAVELING AT 50 MPH. THE RESTARTS ARE BECOMING MORE DIFFICULT. IT NOW REQUIRES ONE PERSON TO TURN THE IGNITION WHILE ONE IS UNDER THE CAR POUNDING ON THE FUEL TANK. IT APPEARS TO BE A FAULTY FUEL PUMP. THE ENGINE TURNS OVER BUT APPEARS TO NOT BE RECEIVING GAS. THE FUEL FILTER HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED. *TR

MY 2003 CHEVROLET CAVALIER BROKE DOWN WITH ME AND MY DAUGHTER IN IT. IT JUST STOPPED RUNNING. COME TO FIND OUT IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP AND WHEN I HAD IT LOOKED AT THE PERSON SAID THAT A LOT OF THEM ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. ALL AT AROUND 60,000 TO 80,000 MILES. IT SEEMS THAT THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION IS FAULTY AND MELTS. IT SEEMS THAT SOME PEOPLE HAVE HAD FIRES. WHEN I SEARCHED ONLINE I FOUND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I'M JUST GLAD THAT I WAS NOT ONE OF THE UNFORTUNATE PEOPLE THAT HAD A FIRE. *TR

THE FUEL PUMP HAS GONE OUT ON MY 2003 CHEVY CAVALIER (79,000 MILES) 4 TIMES IN 4 MONTHS! *TR

I HAVE A 2003 CHEVY CAVALIER WITH 53,000 MILES ON IT, I HAVE ALWAYS CHANGED THE FUEL FILTERS, NEVER LET THE FUEL GO UNDER 1/4 TANK. ONE DAY I WAS DRIVING, AND THE CAR DIED WITH NO ALERT. I LOST ALL POWER, POWER STEERING, POWER ASSISTED BRAKES, EVERYTHING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD GOING 60 MPH WITH TRAFFIC ALL AROUND ME. I COULD NOT PRESS THE BRAKES HARD ENOUGH TO STOP THE VEHICLE SO I ACTIVATED MY 4-WAY FLASHERS AND COASTED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND USED MY EMERGENCY BRAKE TO COMPLETELY STOP. I WAS 10 MILES AWAY FROM MY HOME SO I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO MY HOUSE UNTIL I COULD FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO WITH IT, THAT TOW BILL WAS $120.00. I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE TO WORK AND LOOSING ABOUT $100 A DAY AND NOW I WILL HAVE TO TOW THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP BECAUSE OF THIS FAULTY PART AND SPEND APPROXIMATELY $900 ON A PROBLEM THAT I HAVE READ OCCURS MORE OFTEN THAN IT SHOULD. *TR

FUEL PUMP QUIT WORKING AT 54, 437 MILES ON THE INTERSTATE WHILE DRIVING AT 65MPH. CAR WAS TOWED TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND REPLACEMENT COST OF THE PUMP AND FUEL FILTER COST 1.102.20 TO REPAIR. THERE HAVE BEEN TONS OF THESE GM FUEL PUMPS GOING BAD AND OWNERS POSTING THIS PROBLEM ON THE NET. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THERE POORLY MADE PUMP AND THE HIGH COST TO REPAIR THERE PROBLEM. *TR

FAILURE OF FUEL PUMP WHILE DRIVING ON A 2 LAND HIGHWAY UPHILL WITH A SEMI TRUCK BEHIND ME. DUE TO LOSS OF POWER, AND NOWHERE TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OFF OF THE ROADWAY, I WAS SLOWING QUICKLY AND THE SEMI TRUCK DRIVER HAD TO BRAKE HARD TO AVOID REAR ENDING ME. WAS ABLE TO FIND A SPOT TO PULL OFF SAFELY (LARGE DITCH ON SIDE OF ROAD WHERE PUMP FAILED INITIALLY. *TR

2003 CHEVY CAVALIER FUEL PUMP. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE THE VEHICLE WAS STARTING TO ACT AS IF IT WAS NOT GETTING ANY GAS. THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF A PROBLEM LEADING UP TO THE FUEL PUMP GOING OUT. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VEHICLE JUST DIED AND I WAS LEFT ROLLING WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MERGE ON TO A LOCAL HIGHWAY. I FOUND OUT THAT THIS PROBLEM COSTS WELL OVER 800.00 DOLLARS TO REPAIR. I THEN BEGAN TO RESEARCH AND NOTICED THAT AROUND 60,000 TO 70,000 MILES THAT THERE IS QUITE A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THAT THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET CAVALIER. THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER HAD A FLAT TIRE AND WENT TO A TIRE SHOP. BOTH REAR TIRES HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY WERE WORN DOWN TO THE METAL. THE AUTO SHOP COULD NOT ALIGN THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE REAR AXLE WAS BENT. SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN NOVEMBER OF 2007, BOTH REAR TIRES HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE. THE REAR AXLE WAS BENT BEYOND THE POINT WHERE IT COULD BE ADJUSTED; THEREFORE, IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE AXLE WAS THE CAUSE OF THE REAR TIRE FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 52,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,238.

IT SEEMS EVER ONE HAD 60 GRAND OR BETTER UNTIL A FUEL PUMP WENT. MY CAR HAD 35,000 WHEN IT WENT ON ME. NOW I HAVE A QUESTION: I STILL HAVE THE SAME 2003 CAVACRAP AND NOW IT HAS AN INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PROBLEM. IT FIRST STARTED WITH THE WATER TEMP. GAUGE NEEDLE MOVING ALL THE WAY TO THE SPEEDOMETER GAUGE. THIS PROBLEM WOULD CORRECT ITSELF EVER ONCE IN A WHILE WHEN YOU SHUT OFF THE CAR. NOW ALL THE INSTRUMENTS ARE WHACKED OUT AND IT WILL NOT CORRECT ITSELF. THE CAR STILL RUNS FINE (45,000 ON IT NOW) EVEN WITH THE PROBLEM I HAVE NOW. ANY HELP?? THANKS IN ADVANCE I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT BEFORE THIS BUT IT SEEMS THAT I CAN NOT FIND IT. SINCE THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE CAR FOR THE PROBLEMS A WAS HAVING, IT IS OBVIOUS THAT CHEVY DOES NOT TAKE CARE OF THERE PEOPLE!!! THIS IS MY WIFE'S CAR. I WAS IN THE MARKED AND DID NOT LOOK AT CHEVY FOR A MODE OF TRANSPORTATION. I BOUGHT A FORD RANGER. IT NOW HAS 120,000 MILES ON IT AND STILL GOING STRONG!!! I WAS A CHEVY MAN FOR 22 YEARS AND NOW I AM NOT!! *TR
