We have three chevrolet cavaliers (years: 1999, 2000, 2004). All three of these vehicles have at least one crack in the part of the dash that is immediately next to the windshield. The concern is in a significant crash if this crack would cause facial or upper body injuries or even death. In addition, only the 2004 cavalier has had repeated issues with the drivers seat -- springs are coming through the rear upper portion of the seat, the seat cushion is less on the left side of the drivers seat than the right and the recliner handle has broken twice (was repaired once by tincher williams chevrolet in london, ky; but remains broken today). Today's date was used because there has been no actual incident.

I have a 2004 chevy cavalier which has been in no accidents and is very well taken care of. The paint on this car, and other cars like it, is peeling and chipping all over the place for no reason. The door edges, bumpers, hood, and fender all have chips of paint missing or about to fall off. The clear coat on the car is also very bad and is scratched very easily and washing the car sometimes does more bad than good. I have also noticed that the rotors and drums warp very easily on this car. I have had to replace the rotors and might have to replace the drums soon. I am not the only person with such a problem that I have talked to.

Dt: the sun visors do not have the snap to keep them in place. This allows them to slip down while the consumer is driving. This is the only problem with the vehicle. This first started happening around 6-1-05. *ak

Dt: contact states there is a water leak in his trunk caused by the car not being properly welded during manufacturing. The water leak causes mold and mildew to form on the carpeting and the interior of the vehicle. This mold and mildew is causing illness to the occupants of the vehicle. The service dealer applied seam sealer to the vehicle, but did not remedy the problem. The interior and carpet has been replaced once.. The consumer is afraid to use the spare tire because the water has caused it to rust. The service dealer stated they would have to replace the interior and carpet again. This service dealer contacted general motors, and stated they would no longer work on this vehicle because the consumer picked up the vehicle too early from the dealership.
