All of the trouble lights come on including the service light with a wrench. then, all of the gauges drop to nothing; you don't know how fast you're traveling, what your fuel capacity is, the temperature gauge drops to nothing along with the tachometer dropping to nothing. in the odometer and "error" message replaces the odometer reading. the gauges will intermittently go off and on or all of them will drop of with no reading. the other evening, i was coming home on a winding back country road and all of my lights went out. i have to limit my driving to daytime driving and only use the running lights as it appears to only aggravate the problem when i use my headlights. today, everything above happened along with some news things. the vehicle was shut off, the key was removed from the ignition and the running lights remained on as did the warning alarm as though the key were left in the ignition. i left the car only after i pulled the left and right fuse from the panel. when i returned to the car, i inserted the fuses and started ...

1999 chevrolet cavalier. consumer writes in regards to transmission problems and vehicle sometimes emits white smoke through the vents. *smd the consumer stated the transmission and radiator needed to be serviced. also, a serpentine belt and fuel pan was needed.
Coasting down hill on a dirt road, got to the bottom and engine had died. rolled to a stop and would not restart. towed to a mechanic, replaced fuel pump. this happened twice more and each time the fuel pump was bad. the last fuel pump only lasted 3 months and like the two previous pumps, it was brand new!! this is 3 bad fuel pumps in a year and my wallet can't afford to keep this up. why is there not a recall on this? *tr
The speedometer was the first gauge to not work. it is now stuck at 45mph at all times. now my gas gauge does not work. it even interferes with the temperature gauge. now the rpm gauge is starting not to work. some days it works fine and other days it sits at 5 thousand. the temperature gauge is the only gauge that works. *tr
I was driving down the free way and all of a sudden the car lost all acceleration power. got it to the side of the road and tried to restart the car. it tries but won't start. all power is working and starter and alternator are trying to work. *tr
At approx. 67k my fuel pump failed. i purchased and installed a new fuel pump, adhering to the manufacturers installation recommendations. less than 6 months later the new pump failed. the has been a recurring problem now for at least 10 fuel pumps. this installation recommendations have not changed and i have had the electrical system that powers the pump checked out as well. in each condition it was a no start "failure", leaving me stranded in each case and costing me hundreds of dollars in towing fees that are non-refundable. even though the auto parts stores have been kind enough to honor the warranty most times i have still had to pay for at least 5 of the 10 fuel pumps. that's a 1 to 1 ratio. i have also read about the condition with brushes in the motor wearing out. some of these pumps have provided 30k miles or more and others not 3k mi. this is a huge problem and i for one will not be shopping for another chevy until this problem acknowledged and resolved. i am researching my purchases/exchanges to verify the dates and will register each one of them individually. *kb
This car will not start. and when it does start it back fires. i have replaced the starter, the flex plate the sensors, and the muffler, and nothing seems to work and no mechanic can tell me what's wrong with. i even went out and bought a car code reader and it says emissions but still no luck. *tr
Fuel pump failure at 80,340 miles. pump failed in the driveway. repair cost: $695 + towing. *tr
My car would not start after i turned it off. i banged on the gas tank with a hammer, while a coworker cranked the engine over and the fuel pumped kicked in. this resulted in the car starting; however i played it safe and had it towed home. i replaced the fuel pump and have not had any problems since. still unfortunate that the fuel pump barely lasted 100k. i believe chevy should give you a fuel pump free of charge if there is a failure within the first 200k miles. plain and simple fuel pumps should not fail as often as they do with this make/model. it's is dangerous to everyone's health, and i hope no one ever gets hurt from it. *tr
