Battery Dead Problems of Chevrolet Cavalier

When the weather began to warm up last summer my car started to have problems starting. I would turn the key and my engine would turn and turn but not fire correctly. After a few tries, it would finally start up. I didn't think any thing of this problem at first, but after a while it started misfiring like this quite freqently after the weather began to get really warm and humid outside and I had previously driven my vehicle that day. I have had all the recalls fixed on my car, including the recall for the ignition switch, but this problem with starting my car still persisted. One day I went out to my car and it didn't start at all and it ended up my battery had died and I don't know if this had anything to do with the above stated problem, but I'm sure the rough starts were not good on my battery either. I finally made an appointment with the local Chevrolet dealer after I had them install a new battery and they kept it for a couple days and couldn't find anything wrong with it. Not suprisingly, the day after I got my car back, it started rough again. I bought one of those manuals that helps you identify and correct automobile problems yourself, so I have replaced coolant sensors, spark plugs, spark plug wires, and fluids, but the problem still persisted. It is now February 2005 and the weather is cooler outside and I haven't had any problems thus far. I'm afraid when it starts to get warmer outside, though, that I'll begin to have this problem again. Is there any help that I can get with this problem? are there any recalls or has anybody else had the same problem? thank you for any help.

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!.
