Three years ago, the motor went on the driver's side window of my 2001 Chevy Cavalier. Three months ago, the motor (which was replaced by the dealership at a cost of $400 after the first incident) went again. At the same time the window went, the A/C compression system died also. I've been quoted a cost of $800 to repair both, this is unacceptable craftmanship and I will never by a Chevrolet again.

I keep taking my car back to the dealer for the same problems with my windshield fogging up, especially when it rains and the defogger does not help; I still have problems with a squeling noise in my tires, and my steering column, steering column makes a high pitched sound when in reverse; my drivers window has locked up on me twice; when I first took the car to be checked for my tires they said the manufacture did not install the nuts and bolts correctly and the same with my steering column and they said they were fix but they are not!!!!! ; I am getting sick and tired of having to take my car back to the dealer, it seems to be every 3-4 weeks now; the last time I took the car the kept it all day and said they could not find out what was wrong. Please warn people about these cars I know I am not the only one with these problems; every time I go to the dealership there are at least 2 other people with almost the same problems or has already had the problem I have.
