problem #4

May 252002

Cavalier 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 40,000 miles
I got the car brand new and I have always had problems starting the car. It is not everytime but sometimes I have to try 4 or 5 times just to get it to start. My seat belts no longer retract. I'm not a fat person, and I don't know anyone big enough to ruin my seat belt retractors. My rear defroster barely works, and my passenger side power window motor already went bad. I am very dissatisfied with this car.

My car has a tendancy to not start. I sat in a prking lot once for 10 minutes trying to start my Cavalier. It started when the car only had 100 miles on it. I have complained to the dealership on at least 4 different occasions, only to be told they do not find any problems. I want this resolved!!
