problem #3

Mar 212001

Cavalier

  • miles
First failure was at 24,197 miles. The car began to lose power and would stall during driving. Dealer had the car for 21 days, and replaced the switch clusters, ignition switch, reprogrammed body control module, replaced PCM and found burnt 3-4 clutch. At 40,613 miles the engine lost power and stalled again (while on the freeway). This time the engine warning light did not activate, and we had no idea there was another engine problem. The dealer again replaced defective coil and iginition wires. The car is once again beginnig to idle differently, which is a precursor to it stalling. At each failure, we also smelled a burning odor just before the vehicle stalling.
