2003 Chevrolet Cavalier Brakes Problems

“Trans axle went out april 09 with a horrible mess of oil, steering rack replaced 6 months later, driver side window/ motor problem, fuel pump went 75,000 a bit shy of a year later. Now my defrost isn't working; possibly the switch 85,000. Had brakes done twice so far with leaks; this includes hydraulics, rotors, pads, shoes etc. My steering has seized while driving. This car has been a very expensive inconvenience.”

“My son was pulling into a parking lot and as he describes it, everything but the radio went dead all by itself (the engine died and there was no power steering or brakes). Obviously the same symptoms as the current recalls. I called the dealer and was told the car isn't on the list. I've complained to chevy and am getting the runaround by multiple members of their consumer support team (we've assigned you a service request number but I am to wait until it happens again and then bring it in so we could start reviewing on your case ). …”

“I have a major problem with a vehicle that I recently purchased. I bought a 2003 Cavalier and there was a problem with it last week.

“I have a 2003 Cavalier and I am experiencing problems with front brake rotors again. When car was 1 1/2 years old I experienced wheel vibration, took car to dealership where I bought it and they told me that the brake rotors were warped and that they would replace them under warranty. I checked them about 2 weeks later and found that all they did was turn the rotors down they didn't replace them . Vibration problem was fixed I thought . Got new tires on car and about 6 months later the vibration problem surfaced again. …”

“There are numerous things, and the delaership has convinced GM, because I wrote GM about the problems with this, that I am making this stuff up to get an SUV. First the radio wasn't working, they put the cable back on said it was loose, its still not sounding like a radio should. Next was the popping in the front end, dealership turned rotors, under warranty back brakes squealed real loud they said it was dust I had to pay for that.
