Consumer Description

VALVE COVER GASKET AND HEAD GASKET BOTH FAULTY ON ENGINE AT ONLY 60,000 MILES. THIS IS A VERY COMMON COMPLAINT YET I HAVE NOT FOUND ANY RECALLS. CHEVROLET FAILS TO ADMIT TO THESE FAILURES, AND WILL NOT ASSIST. IN SAME NEIGHBORHOOD, THREE OTHER CAVALIER OWNERS HAVE REPLACED HEAD GASKETS AND CHEVROLET DOES NOTHING.*JB
