NHTSA Complaint #10080950 — 2000 CHEVROLET CAVALIER

THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND THE FUEL INJECTORS WERE REPLACED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE NEXT 4 TIMES (ALL IN THE SAME DAY) I WAS DRIVING TO AND FROM PENSACOLA, FLORIDA ON INTERSTATE 110 AND HIGHWAY 98 AND THE GAS FILTER AND SPARK PLUGS WERE CHANGED. THESE INCIDENTS WERE IN THE SPRING 2003. THE DEALER INFORMED ME IN APRIL 2003 THAT THE SPARK PLUGS WERE THE PROBLEM AND THEY FIXED IT AND SAID WE SHOULD BE FINE. THE MOST RECENT EPISODE WAS ON HIGHWAY 20 IN NICEVILLE, FLORIDA. I WAS DRIVING WITH MY WIFE AND NEWBORN WHEN THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING AGAIN AND THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT GETTING HIT. CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING WITH NO WARNING AND WAS STRANDED ON THE INTERSTATE AND BUSY HIGHWAY. MOST RECENTLY THE PROBLEM CANNOT BE FIXED. THIS CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AND I BOUGHT IT NEW WITH KEEPING THE MAINTENCE UP. AS OF NOW THE CAR CANNOT BE STARTED AND THEY HAVE NO CLUE AS TO WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I AM CONCERNED AS THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE WHERE I COULD NOT GET TO THE SHOULDER OR ON THE LOCAL MILE LONG BRIDGE WHERE THERE IS NO PLACE TO PULL OVER TO. I AM JUST GLAD MY WIFE AND CHILD WERE NOT INJURED THIS TIME. *LA
