NHTSA Complaint #10206395 — 2003 CHEVROLET CAVALIER

MAKING AN ADDITION TO NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE07033: I WAS DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY 2003 CHEVY CAVALIER'S TRAC LIGHT CAME ON (STATING THAT THE ETS SYSTEM WAS DISABLED) AND THEN THE CAR STALLED. CAR WAS RUNNING PERFECT BEFOREHAND AND HAD NO TELLTALE SIGNS OF FAILURE. I WAS ABLE TO DRIFT INTO THE CENTER TURN LANE AND OUT OF HARM'S WAY. I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE CAR. IT WOULD CRANK, BUT WOULDN'T TURN OVER. CAR HAD ABOUT HALF TANK OF GAS. CAR WAS TOWED TO NEAREST REPAIR SHOP WHERE I WAS TOLD THE FUEL PUMP WENT. CAR HAS ONLY 61,000 MILES AND THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. ACCORDING TO HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.COM/FORUM/AUTOS/CHEVROLET-CAVALIER/TVINIC5TFU5SFSI5H THIS IS BECOMING A COMMON PROBLEM. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY POSE A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN IF THIS HAPPENS DURING HIGH-TRAFFIC, ON THE FREEWAY, ETC., AND RESULT IN A CRASH. *TR
