FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
2003 CHEVY CAVALIER. FUEL PUMP FAILED WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE I-70. THEREFORE, CAR STALLED AND HAD TO SECURE A TOW TRUCK. CAR WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST CHEVROLET DEALER, MOLLE CHEVRELOT IN BLUE SPRINGS, MISSOURI. REPAIRS WERE APPROXIMATELY $1,000 TO REPLACE FUEL PUMP WHICH IS LOCATED IN THE GAS TANK. I PAID FOR THE REPAIRS AND FEEL THAT I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FROM GENERAL MOTORS.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
THERE WAS NO LEAD IN TO FUEL PUMP FAILURE. STOPPED AFTER WORK TO PURCHASE A GROCERY ITEM AND THEN RETURNED TO VEHICLE. AT THAT POINT THE CHEVY CAVALIER WOULD NOT START. AAA CAME AND TOWED VEHICLE TO REPAIR FACILITY. I WAS SHOCKED THAT A VEHICLE WITH LESS THEN 35,000 MILE WOULD HAVE A SUDDEN FAILURE OF THIS SORT WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR SYMPTOM. I FEEL FORTUNATE THAT I WAS NOT DRIVING AT THE TIME.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY 2003 CAVALIER BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN, I THOUGHT THIS WAS ODD BECAUSE I WAS STILL HOLDING DOWN THE ACCELERATOR. THE CAR SEEMED TO BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN A SPEED OF ABOUT 60MPH FOR ABOUT ANOTHER MILE WHEN THE CAR BEGAN TO SLOW AGAIN THEN THE CAR COULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 40MPH AND IT EVENTUALLY DIED COMPLETELY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WITH CARS DOING 70MPH ZOOMING PAST ME. I FINALLY MADE IT TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY AND HAD THE CAR TOWED, AFTER PERFORMING TROUBLESHOOTING, I FOUND OUT IT IS THE FUEL PUMP THAT HAS GONE OUT AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. MY CAR ONLY HAS 57,000 MILES ON IT AND AT THE TIME I STILL HAD HALF OF A TANK FULL OF FUEL, I NEVER LET THE TANK GET BELOW HALF WAY SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I CAME ACROSS HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME EXACT YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL AS MY CAR THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN THE CAR GETS AROUND 55,000 - 68,000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE ISSUE AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET CAVALIER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35-40 MPH, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND ALL OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. SHORTLY AFTER, THE VEHICLE BEGAN OPERATING NORMALLY. ONE MINUTE LATER, THE FAILURE RECURRED AND ALL OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES ILLUMINATED AND BEGAN TO GO IN REVERSE. THE CONTACT PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. SHE PULLED OVER AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE TWICE. IT STARTED FOR A SECOND AND THEN SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AFTER THE THIRD ATTEMPT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HER RESIDENCE WHERE HER HUSBAND/MECHANIC STATED THAT THE FAILURE MAY BE CAUSED BY THE FUEL PUMP. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 56,000.

AFTER ONLY 63,000 I HAVE TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP IN THE 03 CAVALIER. I HAVE NOTICED UP TO 150 ENTRIES ON A SITE WHERE THIS IS THE SITUATION. GM HAS SOLD A PRODUCT TO ONLY RUN FOR 3 YEARS. I WENT OUT WITH OUT WARNING, I MISSED HALF A DAY OF WORK AND NOW HOW KNOWS HOW MANY HOURS TO REPAIR SINCE I CAN ONLY AFFORD THE PART NOT THE HOURS AT A GARAGE. I WILL KEEP THE PART FOR INSPECTION IF YOU NEED IT. *AK

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
CAR DIED ON HIGHWAY....HAD IT TOWED INTO THE DEALER. I HAD THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED AT A COST OF $978.47. WHILE AT THE DEALER I SPOKE WITH ANOTHER PERSON HAVING THE SAME REPAIR DONE FOR THE 3RD TIME ON THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR CAR. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR CAR HAVING THE SAME REPAIR MADE. THERE IS AN OBVIOUS ISSUE THAT MUST BE HANDLED BY GM. PLEASE HELP US WITH THIS. WE COULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AS THE CAR JUST DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WITH NO NOTICE. THANK YOU
