Two problems related to fuel pump have been reported for the 1996 Chevrolet Cavalier. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Guess what, here is another problem for my vehicle gm. (another complaint)we've already spent nearly a $1,000, on this car. Now, taking it to the mechanic again, the had spent a hour and a half looking for now what is the fuel pump that had gone bad. I understand that parts in a vehicle have to be maintained. So when we found this out , we really enjoyed your company's "money making" scheme to have the Cavaliers, new fuel pump cost around $500. With a 1 year warranty, other manufacture have lifetime warranties, which we will be replacing with. ( carter, or master). Not including the labor and a customer cannot just replace this pump separately, no you have to purchase the entire module together with the fuel pump!!! usually, it would cost around $80. 00-$100. 00, for a fuel pump. Thanks gm, hope you make your money. Because, I will buy foreign and "word of mouth", is louder. Mel.
Car had a "hard start" when cold. Concerned because someone could get stranded, assuming that 1/4 full tank of gas was enough to start car - especially those transporting children, like I do. After fuel pump was replaced (by dealer), it started better than when first purchased. Had been a problem from day one. Note: why does the fuel pump seems to be a problem with Chevrolets. My father has a 1995 Chevrolet truck, tahoe that also needed the fuel pump replaced. Thought it might be worth investigating.
