general problems of the 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier

Metal on metal noise found out shoes and rotors are damageddamaged. I have no money. V can't fix this. Smell inside of leak. Temp running high. 200.

My son was pulling into a parking lot and as he describes it, everything but the radio went dead all by itself (the engine died and there was no power steering or brakes). Obviously the same symptoms as the current recalls. I called the dealer and was told the car isn't on the list. I've complained to chevy and am getting the runaround by multiple members of their "consumer support team" (we've assigned you a service request number but I am to wait until it happens again and then bring it in "so we could start reviewing on your case"). I took it to my own mechanic and he ran a bunch of tests but couldn't find anything that would cause the car to die.

Speedometer registers over 120 miles and beyond even when stopped.

While applying the brakes at a low speed, a clicking noise was heard. The consumer stated the part has been repaired five times, however the problem still exist. Please provide additional information.

The brakes of the consumer's 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier grind loudly while braking. The consumer also experienced extended stopping distance while braking. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who indicated that the brakes were operating as designed.

A dark brown rust color developed on the front wheels. The dealership in an attempt to correct the problem, changed the brakes, turned the rotor and put new bearings on, but the problem still exist. The dealership indicated that the brown rust color was caused by a failure in the brake system.

The brakes grind/squeaked when used for the first time each day. The brakes were also sensitive and grabbed on occasion. The service technician indicated that this was normal operation.
