| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 2003 chevy cavalier with 56,200 miles on it and my wife and i were returning home to flint mi. @ 10 pm on i75 in michigan when the car started to slow down and than it picked up to normal speed for a couple of miles and than it stalled and would not restart. the only light that came on was traction control off light. we walked to the nearest exit and called our son to come get us - we were approx. 30 miles from home @ 10:30pm. i could not get the car towed until the next morning due to severe storms in the area. i researched the internet and it was very obvious that it is a common problem to have the fuel pump quit on 2003 cavaliers. i called and had the car towed to my son-in-laws house (36 miles). i had to meet the driver and show him where to take the car. i took the day off work and called to get prices on fuel pump modules. the normal cost is over $400 for the module. after the car was towed my son-in-law used his tester and there was not any codes in the ecm. we than tested the fuel pump and there was not any noise indicating that the pump was not working. i went and bought a pump which listed for $420 and just because i was a gm employee - i was able to get a discount and only paid $240.00. my son-in-law charged me $100 to replace the pump and the car runs fine. by the way the towing bill was $110 but the insurance company would not cover the total bill because i did not take it to the nearest repair facility. it would have cost me in excess of $800 to take it to a repair facility. i tried contacting chevrolet customer service but they deny any problems or issues even though there are 100's & 100's of complaint on the internet. if you need anymore info - please contact me. *jb |
