| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Bought a brand new 2004 cavalier approximately april 2004. since purchase date,car has been into dealership due to loud grinding noises in brakes 3 times. first time to best of my knowledge within 6 months of ownership. every time i have been the noises are rust buildup on shoes and pads. the remedy was to sand the rust, it worked but temporarily. i had the car in again november 2005 for this same thing & my check engine light stayed on. my car was still under warranty. the tech told me i had rust & the rotors were " a little out of round". he told me the car had 30,000 miles on & they couldn't do new brakes as warranty it would cost me about $140.00. the check engine light was attributed it to having some floats in tank from gas that affected a sensor. wouldn't cause problems they said & it still happens. the 2nd visit to the dealer they fix a side mirror & defroster..didn't work. 1 week ago, i have use of radio & cd player only no lights/radio now. the next day i started car up my & speedometer says 35 mph idling. going with traffic flow it registered 105 & is now stopped there. mileage gauge, gas and other lights still work as does gas gauge. i called a local chevy dealership near me & inquired as to an aprox. cost to have radio & speedometer fixed/looked at. warranty now is off. i was told labor be the expensive part..looking at $400 or more. i live on a fixed income & can't afford this. brakes/radio/speedometer are nothing i caused. i was never offered to have brakes replaced. speedometer issue is very dangerous. i have checked websites to see if there were complaints like mine& there are. i have guessed the incident date i cannot recall exact date i took car in for the 1st brake issue. *jb |
