2004 Chevrolet Cavalier

FUEL PUMP FAILURE. ON MARCH 2ND 2011 I HAD A FUEL PUMP FAIL AS I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. AFTER RESEARCH I DISCOVERED THIS IS A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE FOR THIS VEHICLE WHICH IS A 2004 CHEVY CAVALIER. THIS COULD RESULT IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR CAVALIER OWNERS SUCH AS MYSELF. IS THERE ANYTHING AT ALL THAT IS BEING DONE TO LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM? *TR

I BOUGHT MY CAR, A 2004 CHEVY CAVALIER WITH 21 MILES ON IT. SINCE THEN I HAVE TRIED TO RETURN IT AND NOW THE MINOR BUT FREQUENT ISSUES ARE MUCH BIGGER AND MORE FREQUENTLY! FIRST MY TRUNK LATCH BROKE A WEEK AFTER PURCHASE. THE CD BROKE THE NEXT WEEK, CIGARETTE LIGHTER BROKE, AND PASSENGER SEAT WOULDN'T MOVE. THIS WAS THE FIRST TWO MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP. A FEW MONTHS AGO THE FUEL GAUGE BROKE, TEMP GAUGE AND AC. THEY COULDN'T VERIFY IT SO COULDN'T REPAIR, UNTIL IT COMPLETELY FAILED THIS MONTH. ALSO, I WAS LEFT STRANDED AT 2:30 AM WITH MY 3 YEAR OLD SON WHEN THE CLUTCH FELL THROUGH THE FLOOR. IT WAS REPAIRED AND NOW THE RPMS SHOOT UP TO 6000, IS UNRESPONSIVE TO ANY PEDALS, AND REQUIRES TURNING THE ENGINE OFF. THIS HAPPENED IN SAN FRANCISCO ON HIGHWAY 101, I AM TRULY AFRAID FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF. SON, AND OTHERS DRIVING THIS CAR OR NEAR ONE. THERE ARE MANY OTHER UNMENTIONED THINGS THAT HAVE OCCURRED, TOO MANY TO TELL IN THIS SUMMARY. THEY OF COURSE CAN'T DUPLICATE THIS MAJOR PROBLEM AND THEREFORE CAN'T "CORRECT." ALSO THEY STATE IT DOESN'T FALL UNDER LEMON, BUT WHAT IS AT STAKE OUR LIVES. *JB
