I am the original owner of the 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier starting in November 2005 we had the ignition lock cylinder changed due to being unable to start the car. This lasted for about a year when problems started more frequent. We brought the car back to the dealer and he was unable to duplicate the problem. He stated that this is an intermittent problem and they could only find the problem when the car fails to start. It would start for them while it was at the dealership. I contacted gmac and explained the problem. I could not get anyone to technically fine the problem. In essence, this car has an on going problem and it is useless to me because I have gotten stuck with the car at least eight times and had to have the car towed to the dealer at my expense. We would like to resolve this problem as we cannot even sell the car with this problem.

I am writing this letter on behalf of my mother-in-law mrs. Virginia boehmer concerning a continuing problem she is experiencing with her 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier (VIN # 1g1jc1246y7211944). On July 10, 2001, September 16, 2002 and June 18, 2005, the dealership replaced the e7200 ignition cylinder lock (p/n 1245879) and various other components [actuator (p/n 2603220, and hvac n2897 relay (p/n 15393412)]. The first two times under warrantee without any explanation and the last at mrs. Boehmerã‚s expense with the excuse that the weight of the keys in the cylinder caused the failure. The vehicle has less than 10,000 miles and is well cared for. The problem seems similar to to the NHTSA recall 04v036000.

While driving on highway, the engine suddenly stalls and will not start for sometime. Track light comes on. Happens "randomly". Currently happens 3-5 times a week. Afraid to drive the car anymore. If it stalls where there is no shoulder can cause a severe accident. 2000 chevy Cavalier, started happenning after ignition recall but dealer denies and link.

Ignition locked. A month later the consumer received a recall.

Vehicle stalled upon start of engine, then turned off suddenly after being on. Tried to restart and did not turn on. Vehicle was towed to shop, the next morning turned on with no problem. Stalls upon start up often. And turns off after being on for a couple of minutes. Chevy dealer said it might be electrical, they want the car to be taken in when stalling. If its stalling the only way to be taken in is by towing the vehicle there. They're not even sure if its covered under warranty or not. One person said it was if it was electrical but her manager said it wasn't.

A loud noise was coming from under right side of the vehicle. Contacted dealer, problem due to strut mount and isolator going out.

Consumer 2000 Cavalier stall when turning or stopping at a red light. After the recall work was done for the ignition the vehicle began to stall. The vehicle's transmission had to be overhauled. Two sensors have been replaced. The catalytic converter has been replaced. The fuel pump has been replaced.

Engine stalls at slow speed-while turning into parking space or while waiting at stop sign. No check engine light comes on -no service light come on -dealer says no failure codes in computer. Problem usaully occurs after car has been run and then sits but does not cool down all the way and then is driven.
