2002 Chevrolet Cavalier fuel system problems

Filed May 6, 2021 · Fuel system, Lights · FL

Just purchased a 2002 chevy cavalier for our daughter and have been trying to find out if any of the 5 recalls were performed on this vehicle or not. The federal safety agency recall page isn't working at this time and the chevy local dealership isn't willing to help. Can someone please provide some assistance??

My 2002 chevy looks like it needs a fuel pump. 3years ago I had this same problem and the tow said it was the fuel pump and I had the fuel filter changed now since then it ran ok. I still experienced hesitation but after hearing the complains. I want to add my concern.

My car is two and a half years old and has a lot of highway miles. I had 80,000 miles on the car (I have been able to log well over 220,000 miles on past cars over 5-6 years due to highway mileage). One night while driving home the "trac-off" light would come on and the car would occasionally lose speed. Eventually the trac off light stayed on the car began to die out along the side of the role. As a result I had my car towed in and the fuel pump was replaced. Total costs were well over $800.00. I wrote to gm but was rejected on reimbursement. The fuel pump problem seems to be a common problem as I've looked at complaints the firestone auto repair center said the design/placement of the fuel pump has caused them to burn out.
