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
Consumer stated when applying the brakes, it felt like the vehicle was trying to stop on wet leaves, it was soon discovered that the brakes were installed wrong by the dealer on june 14, 2000, the dealer offered consumer a 50 percent split on the brake work, however consumer believes that the dealer should pay for the entire brake job since they installed the rear brakes on the front and vice versa.
While taking off seat belt noticed belt will not retract. *ak
Driver side seatbelt retractor gets stuck inside and mal functions, and will not come out. The dealership is aware of it.
Driver seat belt is not rolling back and therefore it get stock in the door and tears up.
Excessive front brake pad wear, replaced a minimum of 10 times within 70,000 miles rotors replaced also - drivers seat does not always lock into place sometimes slides for/backwards - hard to use release button on front passenger belt now the casing fell off - wipers aren't placed correctly has chipped off paint on hood - driver side window is hard to roll feels as if it gets off track car gives squeking/rattling sound while driving - black metal parts on wipers has faded to blotchy gray early in cars life - I have not had problems like these in any car I've owned, they are premature, especially the excessive brake wear.
The driver's side seat belt first started it was winding very slowly and then it just came off. Contacted the dealer, and were not able to help.
Abs fails every time activated, system cycles slowly, with uncontrollable lock and release of wheels. This has occured on a few occasions. 1 occasion resulted in an accident. Engine/vehicle vibrates heavily when idling in gear. Has done so since purchase, but has gotten progressively worse. Horn pad has disloged and fallen between steering wheel spokes on several occasions, nearly resulting in accidents. Driver's side seat latch does not retain seatback from travelling forward. It has always been this way. Safety issue. Air conditioner failed after about 9 months, with no prior use. After repair, it failed again within 3 months.
The seat belt on the driver side will not un-buckle. This is a major safety hazard. I have been to the dealer and they said that it was not covered under my extended waranty. Please help!
