Tl* the contact owns a 2001 chevrolet cavalier. the contact stated that the gear shift was difficult to move and the lever became stuck. occasionally, the key became stuck in the ignition and the gear shift would not go into gear. also, the hood was hot, the engine overheated, and the vehicle experienced electrical failures. there were also multiple unknown warning indicators illuminated. the dealer was not contacted. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the contact scheduled a diagnostic appointment with an independent mechanic. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. the failure mileage was 138,000.
Gauges for temperature do not work, sometimes reads below zero, sometimes slightly above there is no change in reading whether cold, or running for several hours - at any speed speed gauge works intermittently, sometimes recording 100 mph, when the car is doing no more that 20-30 mph. at other times, it seems to be running about the speed limit, when compared with other traffic, then record 100+mph.at other times, when going with traffic, the gauge reads 0mph there is no way to know if the car is overheating, or what speed the car is going. this has been the case for about two months, and i was told it was the 'setter', and would cost me $900. which i did not have. it is very upsetting .
Ignition gets very hot when key is turned can smell plastic ignition or batt 1 circuit problem.clearcoat is peeling.lug nuts coming loose
There is a known issue with the gauges in the 2005 chevrolet cavalier causing them to malfunction or not function at all intermittently. this is a safety hazard because you do not know how much fuel you have, the temperature of your engine, or your speed when the gauges fail.
Cluster of dashboard indicators (speedometer, gas guage , engine temp, rpm) all are not working now. they were going off and on at times when driving but now nothing works...my mechanic informs me this is a common problem with this make and model. no recall found. very dangerous to drive why wasn't this common problem listed as a recall when many have complained??
I was on my way to my dentist appointment, suddenly a hissing noise came from the car.all of the dashboard lights came on and i knew i was in trouble.i was on a busy intersection in the city.i had to act in a split second and steer quickly off of the nearest side ride.the steering wheel was locking up.i had just enough power to get safely off of the street in time and to keep from getting hit from behind.i was in motion on a city street.the car was trouble from day one.i believe it was a flooded out car sold to the unsuspectithat unsuspecting person was me.i got suckered out of over $2400. i have paid for at least 2 new cars with the money i have spent on this lemon.by the way the shady owner don't feel responsible at all for scamming my money out of me.
Key get stuck in ignition in the on position. cannot shut the car off or remove the key. must pull ignition fuse to shut off engine and then disconnect the battery. gm acknowledge this as a problem in 2014 but never issued a recall.
I have had my used chevy cavalier 2004 car for almost a year. as i have been driving the engine has just stopped. this has happened 4 times in the time span of 5 months. no one ( auto shops) can find the issue. they have zero answers. this is dangerous and has caused accidents. i would be banned from the internet if i said what i really want to say to chevy. the most recent time this happened was yesterday...aug 3rd 2017.
