2004 Chevrolet Cavalier

I HAVE 2004 CHEVY CAVALIER WITH LESS THAN 24K MILEAGE. ON AUGUST 4, 2007, THE CLUTCH PAD SUDDENLY DID NOT BACK UP ON MY WAY HOME. I CANNOT CHANGE THE SPEED. WHEN AAA GUY CAME TO TOW, HE FOUND OUT THERE WAS NO HYDAULIC LIQUID. I BOUGHT THE LIQUID AND ADDED IT INTO THE HYDRAULIC LIQUID RESERVOIR. WHEN I STARTED MY CAR AND PRESSED THE CLUTCH, THE AAA GUY FOUND ALL THE LIQUID WAS COMING OUT FROM THE CLUTCH LINE BETWEEN MASTER CYCLINDER TO TRANSMISSION. WHEN I CHECKED THE LINE, I FOUND OUT THE CLUTCH LINE WAS TOUCHING THE WIRE BOX CORNER ALL THE TIME. THERE IS A HOLE IN THAT TOUCHING POINT. IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS IS A DESIGN PROBLEM FOR THIS KIND OF CAR. THE GM CHEVY DEALER SAID THE PURCHASED DATE HAD PASSED THREE YEARS. NO WARRANTY AT ALL. WHEN I SEARCH THE WEB FOR HELP. I FOUND THE OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAIN THE SAME PROBLEM TOO. IF YOU NEED MORE DETAIL INFORMATION, I STILL KEEP THE BROKEN PART. I CAN SEND THE PICTURE OR THE BROKEN PART. THANKS, JUN SHEN *TR

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE 2004 CHEVROLET CAVALIER HAS BEEN HAVING A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL. WHEN THE VEHICLE STOPS ON DRY ROADS, IT WILL STALL AND SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. THE AUTO AIR CONTROL SYSTEM SENSOR AND THE ENTIRE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM HAVE BOTH BEEN REPLACED TWICE. THE PARTS WERE REPLACED AT A SERVICE DEALER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT GEARS SMOOTHLY, AND WILL REMAIN IN A LOWER GEAR AT HIGHER SPEEDS.

INTERMITTENTLY WHILE CONSUMER'S FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL VEHICLE EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ACCELERATION. WHEN THIS OCCURRED THE VEHICLE WAS PUT IN NEUTRAL. ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV FOR 5 MINUTES, THEN IT SUDDENLY DIED DOWN. THIS FAILURE ALMOST CAUSED TWO REAR END COLLISIONS. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP 8 TIMES, BUT THEY ONLY WORKED ON IT 5 TIMES. THEY ALSO TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE FOR 44 MILES, NO PROBLEM WAS FOUND. *AK

WITH LESS THAN 100 MILES ON THE CAR IT BEGAN TO REV UP ON ITS OWN. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER ON 9 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THEY EVEN INSTALLED AN ON BOARD COMPUTER AND WERE ABLE TO SEE THE PROBLEM THAT OCCURS. THE MECHANIC SAYS HE BELIEVES IT IS A GLITCH IN THE COMPUTER AND IS UNABLE TO FIX IT. IT HAS NOW BEGUN TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN WHILE DRIVING, AND THE ONLY THING YOU CAN DO IS PUSH IN THE CLUTCH AND HOPE THE ENGINE BLOWS UP. THIS IS NOW A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. GM REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. WE FILED A LEMON LAW CASE WITH THEM AND THEY SAID THEY ARE UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING. *JB

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STUCK. THE DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, BUT WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *AK THE RPM WOULD GO TO 3000 WITH THE CONSUMER'S FOOT WAS OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR. THE CONSUMER ENGAGED THE CLUTCH AND HIT THE GAS PEDAL AND THE RPM'S WENT BACK TO NORMAL OF 950 RPMS. THE VEHICLE HAD 172 MILES AND WHEN THE CONSUMER CHECKED THE TIRES, THEY WERE 24 LBS. THE RECOMMENDED PRESSURE SHOULD OF BEEN 32 LBS. *SC *JB
