Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: this e-mail is in regards to my 1998 cavalier rs. this car has been nothing but trouble since i bought it on june 29, 1998. just 14 months after i purchased the car, the clutch goes out. then it goes out four times thereafter. a total of five times my clutch has went out. the reason i purchased a brand new automobile was for the dependency of the chevrolet product. i was mistaken in my thinking obviously. that dates of having to replace the clutch master cylinder are as follows: 08/29/99, 04/05/01, 08/09/01, 10/17/01, 06/26/03. i understand things go wrong with vehicles, but five times on the same problem. (no the clutch is not being ridden.) thankfully i have reimbursment towing on my insurance, considering i was miles away from a chevrolet dealership. also, the engine light came on july 20, 1999 (13 months after i bought the car). my receipt states all the cylynders were misfiring. on november 21, 2001 my catatylic converter had to be replaced. (don't ever go on a trip in this car!) all the work stated above was done by chevrolet dealerships. the car is paid for now and they received all of their money out of me. i just hope this doesn't happen to someone else. (the car was in my grandmother's name, mary h. decker 3416 st ann st owensboro, ky 42303. it is now in the process of changing the name on the title.)
