I've owned my 2003 cavalier for 1 yr. 3 months. i'm very irritated with having to go to the dealership every other month for the same problem. i've had my car in 7 times to get the taillight fixed. the first 2 times the light blew out, my radio completely wiped out my preset stations. i also had my car in 2 months after i bought it because there was a bad snow and as i was driving 5 mph i bumped over a pot hole which ended up cracking my spring and strut on the front pass. side. i had to pay out of pocket because the repair was $100 less than my deductible. and i was in the service dept. a week before complaining of a squeak coming from my front tire that they put off as the wheel cover.coincidence?there was no reason that the spring and strut should have cracked like that! i've also, just for the record, asked them twice to check my brakes because as i come to a stop they begin to pulsate. the service dept. told me i needed new brakes.i've only had my car for 1 year, 24,000 mostly highway miles!!! they want $250.00 to fix my brakes and they should still be under warranty. even midas gurantees their brakes w/ a lifetime warranty. you'd think the manufacturer would for an original owner.it's only 2 pads for goodness sake! if i knew how, i'd do it myself. a service tech told me that gm is well aware of these safety hazards that other gm customers like myself are experiencing, yet they aren't doing a recall. something needs to be done before something bad happens to someone while in their vehicle. not doing anything is bad business!! customers should be first priority. as a manufacturer, your responsibility is toward your customer if something you sell or manufacture is defective!!!*ak
