I bought my 2003 Cavalier in Feb. 2003. Within months of purchase I began to have problems with my tail lights. My left tail light burnt out completely (both turn signal and brake light). It was brought into the dealership in which they replaced the socket, bulb and greased the socket. In the following months, my left tail light continued to fail. Two of those times I was pulled over by the local police. Also during the summer of 2003, my battery died, although no lights were left on; my car stalled while in drive waiting at a stop light; my window motors died and had to be replaced; my locks failed to work properly which also had to be replaced. This past year I've had even more problems. As of recently, both left and right tail lights failed, and both were replaced, and the right one went out yet again. The trunk was leaking, which caused mold to grow in my trunk and damaging personal effects, and also causing the right socket and wires to become corroded. The socket and wires were replaced again, and the leak was fixed, but dealer refused to replaced fabric in trunk. Driver's side window motor died yet again, and was replaced. Cd player stopped working. Dealership ordered and installed new system. Currently I have problems with my power steering upon ignition when cold outside, squeaking sounds over front tires while going over bumps and turning, and all air vents, except passenger side are not functioning properly. Dealership looked at vents but stated that they were "operating as designed. " over the past 2 years, my "new" car has been back to the dealership about 15 times. Way to go gm. . . Another winner!.
