What 1999 Chevrolet Cavalier owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
More than one incident: brake light and ABS lights are on. The ABS motor pack needs to be replaced, and was told by chevrolet dealership that this is a frequent problem. Bad motor pack due to corrosion in gears in motor pack. This causes ABS to "shut off" but also for breaks to drag, stick, premature break wear, and warped rotors. Many people have this issue. Newer design of motor pack consists of electronic solenoid. Chevrolet needs to recall this!
While driving 55 MPH consumer's vehicle collided with the vehicle in front. Upon impact, both frontal air bags failed to deploy. Driver sustained minor injuries. Vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection.
While driving, consumer's vehicle was hit on the front driver's side,then vehicle rolled over. Upon impact, side air bags did not deploy. Consumer sustained minor injuries. The dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.
While making a turn at 35 MPH, there was a head on collision with another vehicle. Driver and passenger frontal air bags did not deploy. The consumer sustained a broken sternum and was hospitalized.*ak *cb
While driving 35 MPH ABS system failed completely. Dealer stated ABS motor become inoperative. As a result, vehicle was involved in a collision. Airbags did not deploy.
While driving at 30 vehicle was involved in a frontal collision, and neither of the air bags deployed. Also, seat belt did not hold the driver.
We came here to see if there was any recalls on our car the reason being that it seems that the air bag is not placed correctly and thus it hinders the use of the horn. The majority of the time we can not get the horn to blow. We have had this problem since buying the car.
No summary. Dt
While driving at 40-50 MPH air bags deployed unexpectedly. Contacted dealer, and dealer was not willing to do anything.
