problem #1

Mar 241996

Cavalier

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
Purchased car in March 96, the strut was replaced about four times. Consumer also experienced a tire blow out, dealer advisded her there was nothing they could do, because tire blow out was due to some type of object that punctured tire, also air condition went out twice, starter was replaced, torque convertor replaced, and a recall on piston pin, consumer feels that manufacturer should take some type of responsbiilty since this a brand new vehicle.
