My car has been dying at red lights and while I am driving it! It takes several tries before the car will restart. It is only 9 months old. My car dealership told me I can bring it in but the will probably not be able to detect the problem. Therefore, they will probably not be able to repair anything.
2003 Chevrolet Cavalier electrical complaints
Page 5 of 5: complaints 101 to 106 of 106, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The tires shake and vibrate around sixty miles/hr. So I took them to sam's club to their tire center in december of 2003. They rotated and balanced the tires. I drove the car for one month, then the tires started doing the same thing over again. About one month later, I went back to sam's club and they balanced my tires again. So here it is march of 2004, the tires are doing the same thing again shaking and vibrating around sixty miles/hr. I called goodyear , they told me to bring the car in. They looked at the tires, and said that the rear tires were worn on the inside, and that I would have to take the car back to the dealership to get the tires fixed. They could not diagnose the specific origin of the vibration. Basically, for a brand new car, we should not have these kind of problems at 24,000 miles (as stated by mechanics from goodyear, sam's club and firestone). 5. Cruise control switch- if right turn signal is used when cruise control is activated, the cruise control will automatically deactivate itself. 6. Power failure- car all of a sudden lost power while at a stoplight. 7. A/c & heater- A/C and heater make loud noise. 8. Rear turn signal light bulbs burned out 4 times on each side. Gm replacement bulbs last only 1 to 1 1/2 month.
While driving at any speed heater did not work. Vehicle was taken to the dealer, and heater was replaced. Also, on two different occasions dealer replaced wiring harness and connection wires. On another occasion entire brake light assembly was replaced along with the sockets. In all, vehicle had been to the dealer six times in seven months.
Within a week of recieving my car it began to stall when comming to a stop otherwise it would idle wrong. If it did not die it would idle high.
The turn signal and brake light comes on and off intermittently and the cruise control doesn't work. The mechanic from the dealer ship noted that the electrical socket was melted. Fill in additional information.
There is a clicking noise coming from under the dash. Took vehicle to dealer, and dealer was rerouting the throttle cables.
