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

I HAVE A 2003 CHEVY CAVALIER AND THE FUEL PUMP HAS WENT OUT .....CAR ONLY HAS 65,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN I INVESTIGATED THE PROBLEM ONLINE I SEE ALOT OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.I ALSO NOTICED YALL HAVE INVESTIGATED SOME COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ALSO ...THE CASE WAS CLOSED DUE TO NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE COMPLAINING! I REALLY THINK THIS IS A DEFECT AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED....IT IS COSTING US 600-1000 DOLLARS TO FIX! PLEASE OPEN THE INVESTIGATION AGAIN! *TR

FUEL PUMP FAILURE - REPLACEMENT LEARNED OF REPLACEMENT WIRING HARNESS - RECOMMENDED BY GENERAL MOTORS DUE TO POSSIBILITY OF FUEL TANK CATCHING FIRE DUE TO A DEFECTIVE CONNECTOR REPLACEMENT WAS NOT A HARNESS BUT A CONNECTOR THAT HAD TO BE SPLICED INTO EXISTING CABLE WHICH WAS AROUND 30 OR SO INCHES LONG DEALERSHIP SAYS SPLICE CONNECTOR IS ONLY ALTERNATIVE TO REPLACING THE ENTIRE CABLE WHICH WOULD RUN OVER $500 AND WOULD HAVE TO CUT AND SPLICE THAT TOGETHER AS WELL AS NEW ONE WOULD HAVE THE DEFECTIVE CONNECTOR AS WELL ** MY COMPLAINT ON THIS - THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT OR SO THE DEALERSHIP SAYS AND IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WHICH INDICATED THAT THE HARNESS NEEDS REPLACEMENT DUE TO FACT THAT USING EXISTING CONNECTOR INSTALLED BY THE MANUFACTURER COULD CAUSE A FIRE IN THE FUEL TANK - WHICH I WOULD THINK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD HAVE HAD A RECALL TO IT. ** ALSO REPLACING A CONNECTOR BY SPLICING IS PRETTY MUCH POINTLESS ON SUCH A SHORT CABLE TO BEGIN WITH AND IF A DIY WAS TO DO THIS THE CONNECTION MAY NOT BE SOLID AND TIGHT THEREFORE A HEAT BUILD UP COULD OCCUR AND A FIRE COULD RESULT AS WELL. *TR

MY 2003 CHEVY CAVALIER, FUEL PUMP STOPPED WORKING WITH NO WARNING ON A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY. I DID GET OFF THE ROAD, BUT I UNDERSTAND THAT ALOT OF OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM . THIS CAR I HAVE OWNED FROM DAY ONE, AND NOT EVEN HAVING WARNING THAT THE CAR IS JUST GOING TO STOP RUNNING, IS VERY BAD. ALSO, I HAD ONLY 86,000 MILE ON THE CAR , HAVE TAKEN VERY GOOD CARE OF IT, & FEEL THAT THIS PUMP IS A DEFECT IN THE CHEVY PRODUCT. SINCE SO MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO THEM, WITH EVEN LOWER MILEAGE ON THERE CARS. THIS IS A VERY COSTLY REPAIR & VERY UNSAFE TO HAVE A CAR STOP DEAD ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING BACK FROM WORK TO THE PLACE I WAS STAYING AT THE TIME AND WHEN I WAS ABOUT 5 MILES AWAY, MY CAR (2003 CHEVY CAVALIER) DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF ME DRIVING. I WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN TIME JUST BEFORE IT COMPLETELY CONKED OUT. THIS WAS THE FIRST OCCURRENCE. THE CHEVY WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST SHOP WHERE I DIDN'T FIND OUT UNTIL THE NEXT MORNING THAT IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP THAT HAD DIED. THE REPAIR HAD COST $775.06. *TR

I OWN A 2003 CHEVROLET CAVALIER WITH 65000 MILES AND THE FUEL PUMP JUST FAILED LEAVING ME STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THERE WAS NO WARNING AND NO INDICATION THAT A PROBLEM WAS COMING, THE CAR JUST STOPPED. NOW I AM TOLD THAT I MUST PAY $1000 TO HAVE A NEW FUEL PUMP INSTALLED. THE NEW PART IS THE SAME AS THE OLD OEM PART. I HAVE BEEN READING THAT 2003 CAVALIER'S HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM FOR YEARS AND THAT CHEVROLET HAS HAD NO RECALL FOR AN OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE PART FORM THE FACTORY. THIS IS RIDICULOUS! I FEEL THAT SOME SORT OF COMPENSATION SHOULD BE MADE TO THE HUNDREDS OF GM CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE HAD THIS KIND OF PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT A PART OF THE GM BAILOUT! THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT MUST BE RESOLVED AT THE MANUFACTURER LEVEL.... *TR

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, MY CAR WAS RUNNING FINE AND THEN JUST DIED WITHOUT ANY TYPE OF WARNING. I HAD THE CAR TOWED FOR $100 AND WAS TOLD THAT THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP ON MAY 21ST AND NOW LESS THEN 6 MONTHS LATER, THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENS AGAIN! I HAVE THE CAR LOOKED AT AND ONCE AGAIN, THE FUEL PUMP NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM. WHEN I GOT ON YOUR WEBSITE AND FOUND THAT THE POSSIBLE RECALL HAD BEEN CLOSED, I WANTED TO SCREAM! HOW MANY TIMES AM I GOING TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP BEFORE CHEVY DECIDES TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT? I'M A SINGLE MOM AND CAN'T AFFORD TO DUE THIS EVERY 6 MONTHS! AFTER MY EXPERIENCE WITH MY CHEVY CAVALIER, I WILL NEVER BUY CHEVY AGAIN! I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS ISSUE CAN JUST BE CLOSED WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. SEARCH THE INTERNET! THE FUEL PUMPS IN 2003 CHEVY CAVALIERS GO OUT REPEATEDLY! IT ALSO APPEARS THAT THIS SEEMS TO OCCUR AFTER 50,000 MILE MARK. AT THIS POINT IN TIME, I JUST WANT TO FIX THE CAR SO I CAN GET RID OF IT. I FIND IT COMPLETELY INSANE THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS MATTER. I FIND IT COMPLETELY INSANE THAT CHEVY IS REQUIRED TO FIX THEIR PROBLEM! NO MATTER HOW WELL I TAKE CARE OF MY CAR, THIS WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN BECAUSE THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE FUEL PUMP!! *TR

I WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR I HAVE TAKEN OVER PAYMENTS OF THIS CAR AND WILL HAVE TITLE WHEN IT IS PAID OFF. THE CAR HAD BEEN RUNNING GREAT EXCEPT FOR THE A/C NO LONGER WORKS, AND I WAS DRIVING GETTING UP TO 40 MPH AND THE CAR JUST DIED, I COULDN'T GET IT TO RESTART IT ENDED UP BEING THE FUEL PUMP WENT OUT, IT WAS QUITE EXPENSIVE TO FIX. *TR

ON A 4 HOUR ROAD TRIP MY CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE 77. THEREFORE, I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR AFTER A FEW MINUTES HAD PASSED. HOWEVER, IT WOULD NOT. AFTER SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 HOURS WAITING FOR MY BOYFRIEND TO DRIVE 2 HOURS OUT OF HIS WAY TO COME AND GET ME AND FOR THE TOW TRUCK TO TOW ME SOMEWHERE...WE FOUND A SMALL SHOP THAT WAS APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES AWAY. THEY CHECKED IT OUT AND SAID THE FUEL PUMP HAD GONE OUT ON IT. THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL FILTER. PARTS COST 315.00 DOLLARS, LABOR WAS 100.00, AND MISC. CHARGES AND TAX FEES BROUGHT THE GRAND TOTAL TO 450.00 DOLLARS. OH AND DON'T FOR THE TOW AND THE GAS THAT MY BOYFRIEND WASTED DRIVING DOWN TO PICK ME UP AND DRIVING ME DOWN 2 DAYS LATER TO PICK UP MY CAR. OLD PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE! *TR

I OWN A 2003 CHEVROLET CAVALIER, AND EARLIER THIS MORNING, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO CRANK AFTER I WAS ABLE TO ROLL IT INTO A PARKING SPOT. AFTER SOME TROUBLE SHOOTING, I WAS ABLE TO NARROW IT DOWN TO THE FUEL PUMP WAS NOT COMING ON WHEN THE IGINITION WAS TURNED ON. I CAUGHT A RIDE BACK TO MY HOUSE AND BEGAN DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH AND NOTICED THIS WAS A COMMON TRAIT FOR THE 2003 CHEVROLET CAVALIER. THAT IS FUEL PUMP FAILURE AROUND 60,000+ MILES. MY CAVALIER HAS JUST A LITTLE OVER 64,000 MILES ON IT. MY CAR'S FAILURE WAS PERFECTLY DESCRIBED IN THE MANY FORUMS I READ OVER. THAT'S WHEN I DECIDED TO CHECK FOR ANY OTHER RECALLS ON THIS YEAR CAR. I NOTICED THAT THE NHTSA #PE07033 AND THE ENGINEERING ANALYSIS #EA07-015 PERTAINED DIRECTLY TO MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH THIS PROBLEM. *CN

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR TO GO GET GROCERIES WITH MY 2 YR OLD SON. THE CAR HAS NO PROBLEMS AND DROVE FINE THERE. I ATTEMPTED TO PULL OUT OF THE PARKING LOT AND MY CAR STALLED. I TRIED AGAIN AND IT STALLED ONCE MORE. I MANAGED TO TURN THE ENGINE OVER ENOUGH TIMES TO GET IT OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF THE PARKING LOT. IT WAS AROUND 8PM AND GETTING COLD AND I HAD NOT ONLY TO DEAL WITH THIS, BUT HAVE A YOUNG CHILD OUT IN THE COLD WHETHER WHEN HE SHOULD BE GOING TO BED. I CALLED MY BOYFRIEND AND HE PICKED US UP AND HE LOOKED AT THE CAR A BIT SINCE HE KNOWS QUITE A BIT ABOUT CARS. HE COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING OBVIOUS SO WE HAD IT TOWED FOR TESTING TO MECHANIC HE KNOWS. THE MECHANIC WAS GENEROUS ENOUGH TO GIVE US A BIT OF A DISCOUNT ON THE TOW AND FUEL PUMP, BUT GETTING THIS REPAIRED WAS STILL COSTLY. I ENDED UP PAYING HALF AND MY BOYFRIEND WAS GENEROUS ENOUGH TO HELP ME PAY FOR THE OTHER HALF. BEING A SINGLE MOM AND STILL FINISHING UP SCHOOL I DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY AT THE TIME TO REPLACE SOMETHING THAT GAVE ME NO WARNING AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED IN THE FIRST PLACE. I'M GLAD THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN ON THE INTERSTATE WITH MY SON. PEOPLE COUPLE HAVE GOTTEN HURT IF WE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT. GM NEEDS TO REALIZE HOW BIG OF AN ISSUE THIS IS. *TR

IT WOULD CRANK, BUT WOULDN'T TURN OVER. CAR HAD ABOUT HALF TANK OF GAS. CAR WAS TOWED TO NEAREST REPAIR SHOP WHERE I WAS TOLD THE FUEL PUMP WENT. CAR HAS ONLY 61,000 MILES AND THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. ACCORDING TO HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.COM/FORUM/AUTOS/CHEVROLET-CAVALIER/TVINIC5TFU5SFSI5H THIS IS BECOMING A COMMON PROBLEM. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY POSE A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN IF THIS HAPPENS DURING HIGH-TRAFFIC, ON THE FREEWAY, ETC., AND RESULT IN A CRASH. *TR
