general problems of the 1999 Chevrolet Cavalier

I was on my way to my dentist appointment, suddenly a hissing noise came from the car. All of the dashboard lights came on and I knew I was in trouble. I was on a busy intersection in the city. I had to act in a split second and steer quickly off of the nearest side ride. The steering wheel was locking up. I had just enough power to get safely off of the street in time and to keep from getting hit from behind. I was in motion on a city street. The car was trouble from day one. I believe it was a flooded out car sold to the unsuspectithat unsuspecting person was me. I got suckered out of over $2400. I have paid for at least 2 new cars with the money I have spent on this lemon. By the way the shady owner don't feel responsible at all for scamming my money out of me.

No events leading up to failure . The gas gauge stopped working in my 96 chevy Cavalier and now my 99 chevy Cavalier and I've run out of gas on several occasions thankfully not in the middle of traffic or on the highway. I've heard that they know about this problem that it is some kind of sensor problem and it exists throughout a number of gm cars . Nothing has been done to correct the problem.
