2003 Chevrolet Cavalier fuel system, other problems

“MY GAUGE CLUSTER WENT OUT WHILE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. VERY UNSAFE, I WAS UNSURE OF THE HEAT OF THE ENGINE AND IT IS ONE OF THE HOTTER DAYS OF THE YEAR!!!! LOOKED ON-LINE AND FOUND HOW COMMON THIS ISSUE IS. I CANT SEE HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE, HOW HOT MY CAR IS, HOW FAST IM GOING, OR HOW HARD MY CAR IS WORKING. IF THIS PIECE OF EQUIPMENT IS FAILING SO WIDELY IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED!!!!!!!!! VERY VERY VERY UNSAFE. TRIED TO TAKE TO ADVANCED AND THEY WONT READ THE CODE AS ITS NOT A STANDARD CODE (?) GM YOU ARE LOOSING CUSTOMERS FAST AND PUTTING THOUSANDS OF LIVES AT RISK BY LETTING THIS CONTINUE TO GO PAST YOU AND ALL FOR THE SAKE OF A LITTLE MONEY TO FIX A PROBLEM YOU SOLD TO US? IF YOU CAN RECALL THE SAME ISSUE ON SOME OF YOUR TRUCKS YOU CAN ON THIS CAR AS WELL, DISCONTINUED OR NOT. *JS”

“MY DAUGHTERS 2003 CHEVROLET CAVALIER SUDDENLY DIED ON THE INTERSTATE WITH NO WARNING. IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE REPAIR SHOP. THE FUEL PUMP IS BAD. IT ONLY HAS 63,000 MILES ON IT. THE REPAIR COST ME $600. I'M FINDING OUT THAT THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM FOR THIS MODEL AND YEAR. I'VE NEVER IN MY LIFETIME OWNING NUMEROUS CARS HAD A FUEL PUMP FAIL. THIS WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. MY DAUGHTER WAS ALMOST HIT BY A SEMI WHEN HER CAR DIED. THIS NEEDS TO BE A FACTORY RECALL . *TR”

“IN RESPONSE TO PREVIOUS INVESTIGATION NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE07033 I WAS DRIVING MY 2003 CHEVY CAVALIER ON 95 SOUTH BOUND, WHEN THE TRAC OFF LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE JERKED AND STALLED A LITTLE BIT. I ATTEMPTED TO CONTINUE DRIVING, HOWEVER NOTICED THE VEHICLE STALLING EVEN MORE. I WAS IN AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PLACE IN HIGHWAY TRAFFIC, AND KNEW I HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD IMMEDIATELY. MY CAR SHUT OFF AS I WAS PULLING TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY AND I WAS ALMOST HIT BY VEHICLES GOING 60-70 MPH. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD - IN A POSITION WHERE I WAS NOT EVEN ABLE TO EXIT MY VEHICLE FROM THE DRIVER SIDE. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO MY MECHANIC, WHO INFORMED ME THAT THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL FILTER NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS GOING TO COST ME APPROXIMATELY $417. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ON THE WEB AND FIND IT TO BE EXTREMELY COMMON. TO SAY THAT THIS ISN'T A BIG PROBLEM WITH THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE IS UNFAIR. *TR”

“I BOUGHT MY 2003 CAVALIER BRAND NEW. WHILE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY I TOOK THE CAR IN BECAUSE IT WAS MALFUNCTIONING. THE SITUATION WAS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND WENT TO SHIFT GEARS AND WHEN I HELD THE CLUTCH IN THE RPM'S DROPPED ALL THE WAY TO 0 AND THE CAR STALLED. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR IN I WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE, SO THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. SINCE THAN THIS HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE. WHILE DRIVING IT STALLS ON AVERAGE OF 5 TIMES A WEEK WHICH IS NOT SAFE ESPECIALLY ON THE FREE WAY. ALSO TO ADD TO EVERYONE ELSE'S COMPLAINT MY FUEL PUMP WENT BAD AS WELL AND HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED. *TR”
