My 1999 chevy cavalier's fuel gauge just stopped working out of the blue. It reads that the fuel tank IS full and doesn't drop. We didn't know that this had occurred until my car ran out of fuel on a 4-lane highway while sitting at stop light. we were almost got rear ended by approaching high-speed traffic multiple times, and we were forced to leave my vehicle in the middle of the road to get to safety. luckily my husband was able to push the danged car off of the roadway/intersection once a passerby stopped behind us and turned his hazard flashers on. the nice gentleman also got out of his vehicle and helped my husband push the car off of the roadway. thank god for good samaritans! the fuel gauge never leaves "full". after talking to a dealer and several auto shops, we decided it made more sense to go by the odometer from now on, which IS a gigantic inconvenience. this decision was made based upon the ridiculously high cost for repair, along with the fact that most mechanic's told us that the fix would only be temporary, as fuel gauge failures across the board IS a well-known common general motors product problem, and that a fuel gauge failure will likely rear it's ugly head again sooner or later. *tr

I brought a 1999 chevy cavalier in dec 08'. since jan 09' I have been having severe locking of the rear brakes. I have taken it to three different mechanics so far and the problem still persist. currently I am unable to pass a motor vehicle inspection due to this problem. at all three facilities I used to try and repair this problem I was informed by the mechanic that this problem IS common among gm vehicles. I have spent at least approximately $600 dollars on this problem and it still persist. The mechanics that I have taken it to have adjusted the brakes several times but the rear brakes are still locking for what seems like no apparent reason all three mechanics say the brake assembly looks good but I am still not able to pass inspection. I was told at the motor vehicle inspection station that this problem will cause me to fish tail either causing injury to passengers in my car or possibly others. *Tr

I purchased a new 1999 chevy cavalier in march 1999 and began hearing creaking sounds coming from the steering column one year after purchase. since the car was under warranty I took it the chevy dealership where I purchased it for repair. they greased some parts to diminish the noise. I took the car in 2 other times to have it looked at and the same action was taken, no parts were ever replaced. recently I took the car to a chevy dealership and I was told the whole steering column needs to be replaced for about $2300. there are multiple complaints and warnings to mechanics that consumers may come to them with these issues listed over the last 9 years. therefore, this IS a flaw with the vehicle that until now chevrolet has not taken responsibility for. currently the vehicle IS still making the noise and I was warned if the wheel starts to "stiffen up" to come back immediately as the danger of losing control of the vehicle IS extremely high. *Tr

To make a long story short, my car started smoking through the ac vents one day and I described this to a chevy 800 # rep and he said that it was covered under recall # 04002 ignition circuit thermal events. I take it to the dealer, they said they fixed it. I go to pick it up and the burned wires under the dash were not replaced, the theft system light was still on and the car still would not shut off even with the key out of the ignition. I called the 800# back and told him I was given the run around and now this guy claims that he never told me that the damage to my car was not covered under the recall and that it would have to come out of pocket. This IS ridiculous. The description of the recall fits exactly what happened with my car and now they are trying to get away with not fixing my car. I want it fixed! I just wanted to send this quick email and will go in depth about it once I receive your reply. Thanks. *tr updated 09/09/08

The sub-frame on the passenger side of my vehicle was almost completely rusted through along with the brake line on that side. the air conditioning overflow tube was releasing water onto that piece of metal. although we do not know for sure if this was the cause the drivers side IS not like that. Could have just been cheap metal. on nov 30 of 07 I was driving my car to work and it just did not feel right. when you drive a car everyday you notice these things but cannot put your finger on it. the next day I went to the grocery store and the suspension felt very loose through the steering wheel and it felt like it was not turning correctly. the more I drove the worse it got. on the way home I drove only 20 miles an hour with my hazard lights on praying I would get home without incident or accident. it felt like the whole front end was going to fall off. thank the good lord I did get home alright. my husband pulled of both wheels starting with left and then right and discovered the problem. we took pictures and called a tow truck to take it to our preferred auto shop. both the tow truck driver and the guy at the shop said we were very lucky that nothing bad happened that we actually could have lost the front end. in all the cars that we have owned nothing like this has ever happened although this IS the first and only chevy we have had. *tr
