1995 Chevrolet Cavalier Engine cooling Problems

“I bought a 1995 Chevrolet Cavalier new, in july 1995. I had the following major repairs done on the car. On 8/97 -entire exhaust from converter back bad baffled under warranty. On 10/97-serpentine belt/rotors/alternator & recall on hazard lights under warranty. 4/00-head gasket,seal,oil,filter,coolant;recall on cover,shield,retainer,sealant (dealer covered costs under a special policy adjustment. …”

“As described in prior defect reports, e.g. 98054a, my Cavalier has a leaking head gasket. However, since it was discovered after the warranty expired, the dealer & mfr have refused to repair it. I'm faced with a hefty repair bill for a known mfr's defect.”

“Head gasket leaking for the 3rd time. Apparently was fixed when I received the recall and brought into the dealer. Gm not helpful. Dealer not helpful. Dealer drained all of my freon as well and broke my heater switch. Gm tells me that this is a consumer/business problem and to contact the attorney general. After reading all of the other head gasket recall problems that appear to be the exact same issue, I see a class action suit against GM in the making.”

“Service due to coolant leakage because of a faulty head gasket on my 1995 chevy Cavalier was not covered by dealer despite service bulletin #98054 and #98054a and the fact that my vehicle had 54,771 miles at the time of the failure.”

“Since the end of august 2002, my car has been falling apart. It all started when my air conditioner stopped working. I had freon put back into it, but after a few days, the freon was gone. The mechanic put a dye into the system to see if there was a leak, but he couldn't see any problem. My car has always overheated in traffic. Oil is leaking from my head gaskets. Now, it is having trouble starting periodically. I was in camden when it wouldn't start. Now I'm afraid to drive it. When I start the car, a clicking noise comes from the starter. …”
