ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE A Z24 AND MY CAR STALLS OUT AND TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING I HAVE CONTACTED A CHEVY DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE CAVALIER'S DO, BUT MY TYPE OF VEHICLE(Z24) ISN'T AFFECTED. EXPLAINED IT IS AND THEY SHOULD SEE ABOUT THIS. AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO GET THIS FIXED. ALSO, WHEN RESEARCHING THIS INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET I HAVE FOUND MANY OTHER CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS I WITH MY TYPE OF VEHICLE. WHY WOULD 1 TYPE OF CAR OF THE SAME YEAR HAVE THE PROBLEM AND NOT ALL OF THEM? IT HAS THE SAME COMPONENTS JUST DESIGNED A LITTLE DIFFERENT.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
EVER SINCE I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW, I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE STALLING ON HILLS OR INCLINES. MY CAR WILL START TO FEEL AS IF IT'S GOING TO STALL, AND THE RPM'S JUMP UP AS IF I AM ACCELERATING THE GAS, BUT SINCE THIS NORMALLY ONLY HAPPENS ON HILLS, WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES, MY CAR WILL NOT STOP, B/C THE RPM'S ARE STILL HIGH, THEN THAT'S WHEN THE CAR STALLS, AND OF COURSE MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKS, AND I CANNOT STOP WITHOUT USING THE E-BRAKE, OR PUT IT BACK INTO NEUTRAL AND RESTART IT. I HAVE NO WARRANTY LEFT SINCE IT HAS EXPIRED, HOWEVER, I HAD TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ALWAYS SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN, AND IT'S NOT FAIR THAT THIS DEFECT HAS "SLIPPED" THROUGH THE CRACKS FOR THIS LONG. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE BEFORE OWNERS OF THIS CAR GET INJURED OR KILLED! I AM ALSO HAVING A RACK AND PINION PROBLEM, BUT GMAC SAID THAT MY CAR DIDN'T COME FROM THE PLANT WITH THE DEFECTIVE PARTS! WELL, I THINK IT DID. MY CAR HAS BEEN UNRELIABLE MORE OFTEN THAN NOT. EVERY TIME I HAVE DRIVE DOWN A HILL, I SAY A PRAYER. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT 2-3 TIMES/WEEK. MY STEERING IS SO BAD FROM THE DEFECTIVE RACK AND PINION, THAT I CAN'T TURN MY STEERING WHEEL UNTIL THE CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR ABOUT 15 MINS.(WHEN IT'S COLD OUT). GMAC HAS FAILED TO TAKE MY CONCERNS SERIOUS, IT'S SAD THAT A COMPANY I PAID ALL MY HARD EARNED MONEY TO, CAN'T EVEN MAKE/OR FIX AN UNSAFE VEHICLE! AND I ALSO HAVE THE RECALLED DEX COOLANT, BUT YOU HAVE TO HAVE PAID FOR THE DAMAGES AND REPAIRS IN ORDER TO GET REIMBURSED! THEY NEED TO FIX ALL THE AFFECTED CARS, NOT JUST THE ONES PEOPLE HAVE PAID TO ALREADY HAVE IT FIXED!

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:GAS RECIRCULATION VALVE (EGR VALVE)
1998 CAVALIER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. *TS THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO DETERMINE WHAT WAS CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST DETERMINED THAT THE EGR VALVE WAS STICKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE EGR VALVE FAILED AT 142,673 MILES AND AGAIN AT 175,055. WHEN THE CONSUMER LOOKED AT THE SERVICE INVOICE IT STATED THAT THERE WAS A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE EGR VALVE. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED REIMBURSEMENT FROM THE MANUFACTURER SINCE THE PART HAD A LIFETIME WARRANTY.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
PATTERN OF OVERHEATING AND VEHICLE FAILURES IN 98 CAVALIERS. A SECOND CAR WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS IS NOW BEING REVIEWED RIGHT NEXT TO MINE AT FOX CHEVROLET TIMONIUM. 410-667-6666. CAR WITH 100,049 MILES OVERHEATED FOR FIRST TIME AFTER ORDINARY FLUSH AND FILL 2 DAYS PRIOR. (THE SERPENTINE BELT AND AN OIL CHANGE WERE ALSO PERFORMED FOLLOWING A COMPLAINT OF SMELLING ANTIFREEZE NO OTHER EVIDENCE OF ANY COOLING PROBLEMS) FOLLOWING THE OVERHEATING, THE CAR WAS PROMPTLY PULLED OVER WITHIN 2 MILES AND FLATBEDDED BACK TO THE SERVICE STATION. AFTER REPLACING THE THERMOSTAT AND WATER PUMP (SIGNS OF LOW COOLANT FLOW - TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL IN THE UPPER AND LOWER HOSES) CAR CONTINUED TO OVERHEAT. THE CAR WAS FLATBEDDED TO THE DEALER: NO LEAKS OR DAMAGE WERE FOUND IN THE HEATER CORE, RADIATOR, HEAD GASKET, OR CYLINDER HEAD. DEALER CONCLUSION IS THAT THERE ARE MICRO CRACKS INSIDE THE ENGINE BECAUSE ENGINE GASES ARE MIXING WITH THE ANTIFREEZE, ALTHOUGH OIL IS NOT ENTERING THE COOLING SYSTEM. DEALER INSISTS ONLY POSSIBLE REPAIR IS AN ENTIRE ENGINE REPLACEMENT.

THIS E-MAIL IS IN REGARDS TO MY 1998 CAVALIER RS. THIS CAR HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE SINCE I BOUGHT IT ON JUNE 29, 1998. JUST 14 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR, THE CLUTCH GOES OUT. THEN IT GOES OUT FOUR TIMES THEREAFTER. A TOTAL OF FIVE TIMES MY CLUTCH HAS WENT OUT. THE REASON I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW AUTOMOBILE WAS FOR THE DEPENDENCY OF THE CHEVROLET PRODUCT. I WAS MISTAKEN IN MY THINKING OBVIOUSLY. THAT DATES OF HAVING TO REPLACE THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER ARE AS FOLLOWS: 08/29/99, 04/05/01, 08/09/01, 10/17/01, 06/26/03. I UNDERSTAND THINGS GO WRONG WITH VEHICLES, BUT FIVE TIMES ON THE SAME PROBLEM. (NO THE CLUTCH IS NOT BEING RIDDEN.) THANKFULLY I HAVE REIMBURSMENT TOWING ON MY INSURANCE, CONSIDERING I WAS MILES AWAY FROM A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. ALSO, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON JULY 20, 1999 (13 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR). MY RECEIPT STATES ALL THE CYLYNDERS WERE MISFIRING. ON NOVEMBER 21, 2001 MY CATATYLIC CONVERTER HAD TO BE REPLACED. (DON'T EVER GO ON A TRIP IN THIS CAR!) ALL THE WORK STATED ABOVE WAS DONE BY CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS. THE CAR IS PAID FOR NOW AND THEY RECEIVED ALL OF THEIR MONEY OUT OF ME. I JUST HOPE THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN TO SOMEONE ELSE. (THE CAR WAS IN MY GRANDMOTHER'S NAME, MARY H. DECKER 3416 ST ANN ST OWENSBORO, KY 42303. IT IS NOW IN THE PROCESS OF CHANGING THE NAME ON THE TITLE.)

THE ENGINE STALLED ONCE WHILE IT WAS IDLING SO SHE HAD TO GET IT JUMPED. MY HUSBAND AND I THOUGHT SHE MIGHT HAS LEFT SOMETHING ON OR WASN'T QUITE SURE ABOUT WHAT REALLY HAPPENED WHEN IT DIED WHILE BEING PARKED. I DROVE IT THE NEXT DAY AND IT SEEMED FINE. AFTER THE ACCIDENT HAPPEN SHE TOLD US THAT SOMETIMES WHEN SHE WOULD PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE IT WOULD DIE. SHE WOULD HAS TO PUT IT IN PARK AND THE RE-START THE ENGINE AND THE CAR WAS FINE. WE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR A MONTH. WE DON'T KNOW IF THE TRANSMISSION HAD PROBLEMS OR IF THIS WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. *NLM

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
THE CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH AN INTERNAL ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM, WHICH, AS STATED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL IF THE CORRECT KEY IS NOT USED TO START THE CAR, FUEL IS CUT OFF TO THE ENGINE. THE THEFT SYSTEM LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD THEN FLASHES, AND YOU ARE UNABLE TO START THE CAR FOR (AS I FOUND OUT ON MY OWN) EXACTLY 10 MINUTES. SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR BRAND NEW 5 YEARS AGO. THIS SCENARIO HAS HAPPENED TO ME DOZENS OF TIMES. I START THE CAR (WITH THE CORRECT KEY, OF COURSE) AND THE CAR DOES NOT START-THE THEFT SYSTEM LIGHT BLINKS ON AND OFF FOR 10 MINUTES, AND I CAN NOT START THE CAR DURING THIS TIME...IF YOU ATTEMPT TO START THE CAR DURING THIS TIME, YOU ARE FORCED TO WAIT EVEN LONGER BEFORE THE LIGHT STOPS FLASHING AND YOU CAN RESTART THE ENGINE. ON THE OCCASIONS THAT I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY EITHER TOLD ME NOTHING WAS WRONG, OR THEY THOUGHT IT WAS THE EXTERNAL ALARM, OR THEY JUST SAID IT WAS FIXED...MEANWHILE, THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT THE FEATURE WAS-I HAD TO TELL THEM THAT IT WAS DESCRIBED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL. LONG STORY SHORT, THIS THEFT SYSTEM HAS CAUSED ME TO BE LATE FOR WORK NUMEROUS TIMES, AND HAS CAUSED MANY INCONVENIENCES FOR ME! OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS, IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY. I SPOKE TO THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER, AND NEITHER WERE AWARE OF THE FEATURE, OR THE PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH IT. THE DEALER SAID TO BRING IT IN, BUT FOR ME TO TAKE A DAY OFF FROM WORK IS DIFFICULT-ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY PROBABLY WON'T FIX A THING. I AM DESPERATE FOR SOME HELP WITH WHAT I CONSIDER A MAJOR DEFECT IN THIS CAR! DT

I HEARD BEFORE I PURCHASED MY 1998 CAVALIER THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH LEAKY HEAD GASKETS, ALTHOUGH I ALSO HEARD THAT THE MANUFACTURER ALSO REMEDIED THE PROBLEM BEFORE RELEASING THE CARS TO THE MARKET. HOWEVER, FROM WHAT I CAN TELL THERE WASN'T ANY CHANGES MADE SINCE I NOW HAVE THIS PROBLEM WHICH WAS APPARENT ABOUT 2 YEARS AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED, AND I AM NOW STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THAT WILL DEFINETLY NOT LAST LONGER THAN MY PRIOR CAR, A TOYOTA. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH CHEVROLET.

WATER PUMP FAILED ON VEHICLE. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 3.5 YEARS AND UNFORTUNATELY, I NEVER THOUGHT THIS WOULD HAPPEN. THIS CAR COULDN'T LAST 5 YEARS WITHOUT PROBLEMS. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS SO SOON, I PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS CAR AND EXPECTED TO RECEIVE A QUALITY VEHICLE. NOW I'M WONDERING WHAT NEXT, IS MY ENGINE GOING TO FAIL. HOW COULD THE WATER PUMP GO OUT SO SOON ON THIS VEHICLE. AND HOW MANY OTHER BUYERS HAVE HAD THE SAME OR SIMILAR PROBLEMS. HAVE THERE BEEN RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLES, IT SEEMS TO HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS, UNFORTURNATELY WE THE CONSUMERS, ARE NOW FINDING THIS OUT.

I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHEVROLET CAVALER, THE DEALERSHIP EVEN RIPPED ME OFF, THEY CHARGED ME 400 DOLLARS TO FIX A WATER HOSE PUMP AND TENSION BELT, THIS CAR HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS, AND NOW 5 MONTHS LATER, THE VEHICLE IS ACTING UP AGAIN. I DON'T KNOW WHY CHEVROLET WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE MASSIVE MAINTENANCE TO THIS CAR...BUT IN THE FUTURE, I AM BUYING FROM A FOREIGN COMPANY DUE TO ALL OF THE MAINTENANCE. AND ON TOP OF ALL OF THE OTHER GARBAGE, THIS WAS SUPPOSE TO BE A LOW MAINTENANCE CAR, AND THAT IS NOT EVEN TRUE! I THINK I CAN SPEAK FOR EVERYONE ELSE, THAT THIS CAR IS THE WORSE CAR THAT WAS MADE IN 1998. IT TOOK ME THREE DIFFERENT TIMES OF BRINGING MY CAR TO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T FIX THE RECALL THE FIRST TIME. I CLAIM DISCRIMINATION WHEN IT COMES TO CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS
