| 1996 | SUSPENSION:REAR | KNOCKING NOISE NEAR TRUNK AREA, BURNING SMELL CONSTANTLY, PANEL LIGHTS ALWAYS SHOW SOMETHING WRONG, ETS OFF LIGHT BLINKING, TILT STICKS, HORN DEFECTIVE, DON'T START IN WARM WEATHER,POPPING NOISE IN REAR SIDE, COOLANT LEAKS, POWER STEERING HOSES HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY BURNED UP AND LEAKED FLUID ONTO EXHAUST SYSTEM, WINDOW RATTLES WHEN COMING DOWN, WINDOW NOT ALIGNED RIGHT AIR COMES THROUGH ON BOTH SIDES,ALARM DOESN'T WORK 85% OF THE TIME EVEN WITH NEW BATTERIES, NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE JUNE 1, 1999. |
| 1996 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS | I HAVE HAD REOCCURRING PROBLEMS WITH THE LIGHTS AND THE START UP LIGHT ON SUSPENSION SINCE THE DAY I PURCHASED THE AUTOMOBILE. EVERYTIME I TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIR, I GOT A "CANNOT DUPLICATE" IN THE PLACE OF REPAIR. I KNEW NOTHING OF THE RECALL ON THIS ITEMS UNTIL 6/18/2000, WHEN I WAS RESEARCHING OTHER ITEMS ON THE CAVALIER. I WOULD APPRECIATE GETTING THIS REPAIRED AS OPPOSSED TO "CANNOT DUPLICATE." I DO KNOW THE SUSPENSION HAPPENS FAR MORE OFTEN THAN A VEHICLE THIS YOUNG AGE SHOULD. THANK YOU. |
