This problem of the ABS system malfunctioning started a little over a year ago. I have already spent well over 800 dollars on brake work at several different brake shops. Nobody knew what the problem was until I took it to the last place. They told me it was 1300 dollar problem. I need to replace the ABS box. While driving down the highway one day in perfectly clear weather I was to force to hit my brakes and ended up spinning out of control and almost being struck by numerous cars until I finally come to a stop facing traffic. This happened while my 15 month old son was in the car with me. I have read in numerous different web sites all the complaints of the ABS system failing on 94 cavaliers. I think if anything is decided to be recalled this is definitely one of them. Not everyone has the money to just throw away on having the problem fixed. Ts

Vehicle firewall which separates the engine compartment from the passanger compartment has holes in it due to rust through which causes water to leak into the passenger compartment. Due to the vehicles unibody design, is passanger safety compromised? Repair of said item is very expensive due to required removal of dash components and various engine componets which are attached to the firewall.
