2 Latches/locks/linkage problem of the 2005 Chevrolet Cavalier

Failure Date: 06/20/2006

I currently have a 2005 chevy Cavalier that I purchsed in 2005. Within 6 months of having the car my back doors do not operate, do not open. My front doors recently have been having issues in not wanting to shut. There is something iwth the linkages. I have also had issues with the trunk, it blew off the wires and sounded liek a bomb. And my dome light got to where it would not shut off so we removed the bulb. My radio does not shut off when door opens, it plays for 10 minutes afterwards. My car did not have shocks when purchased it, it is beomcing one big headache. I drive only Chevrolet vehicles but this car is making me wnat to drive something other then a chevy. Is there any racalls on 2005 Cavaliers? or what can I do. I can not afford a new car with working part time and this is not very safe.

3 Latches/locks/linkage problem of the 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier

Failure Date: 05/15/2004

In August of 2002 I had the front right anti-lock sensor for my 1998 chevy Cavalier replaced. Within nine months, may 2003, I had to have the same sensor replaced. Now it is may of 2004 and my dealership is telling me that I need the same sensor replaced. My thinking is that they should of found something after the second time I brought it in. Since the 3 years or 36,000 mile warranty is done I have to rely on the parts warranty, which does not help me if I have to replace it every year. Three same exact sensors replaced less that two years is senseless.
