What 2005 Chevrolet Cavalier owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
1st issue was the speedometer started malfunctioning off & on. It shows going much faster than car really is going. Doesn't happen all the time. 2nd issue was warning light which a station told me that the code is for a malfunction in the fuel line, it shows a major leak, but repairmen could find no real leak. Warning light does go off & on, so not on all the time. 3rd issue was off & on the front driver & passenger windows start rolling down or up and then just quit, but start working again after shutting off engine a couple times. 4th issue was the RPM meter started doing what the speedometer had been doing. 5th issue is the passenger side wiper stopped working. That's the only one that hasn't "fixed" itself. All the others are off & on working or not working. The wiper was the latest incident with all of them starting in the past 6 months.
Three of the four power windows have stopped working at the same time, and the fourth window barely works.
2005 chevrolet cavalier/power windows malfunction ....owned for 4 months, let the window down one day at a drive-thru restaurant as usual and the window just stopped and never started again...still to this day it is still stuck in the down position..so now everywhere my family and I go we're at risk of our being burglarized because the car's interior is easily accessible..the window was an issue when I first purchased the used car thru cars and trucks in morrow, ga and they agreed to fix it and never did..so called chevrolet and was told that can be repaired for $120..which I don't have..it's just ridiculous..riding on the expressway and weather conditions both pose safety problems to my family and I..this car needs to be recalled, it's just got too many problems that seem to me as a consumer to be safety violations that are just being swept under the rug..
Power window failure, windows stuck, replaced window motor 2 times, failure again, unable to open or close windows, gas gauge and speedometer not working.
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 chevrolet cavalier. While driving approximately 35 to 55 MPH on normal road conditions; pressure was applied to the accelerator pedal and there was an unintended increase in the acceleration. The engine revved extremely high which caused the ABS, engine, and traction control warning light indicators to illuminate on the instrument control panel intermittently. Immediately after applying pressure to the brake pedal, the vehicle began driving normally. An independent mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The front driver and passenger power window mechanism also failed without warning. The window motor was replaced; however, when the window was activated the response time was slow which may have caused the window shield wipers to malfunction.
