Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 2003 cavalier fuel pump, first failure was june/july 2007 (70,000), driving on the interstate car stalled at 60mph then would not start again. had car towed, mechanic couldn't find the problem but the car started again. car ran fine for months with no indication there was a problem. second failure sept 2007 (110,000), driving on the interstate in high traffic high speed, car stalled out and managed to get to the shoulder without getting hit. would not start again. we had the car towed and have to replace the fuel pump. it has to be defective and is very dangerous. i just hope no one has to die on an interstate because of this before a recall is made. cost of repair after extensive search and not using gm parts or dealer service was est. $360 + tow. old part will be sitting here waiting for a recall. *tr
