Consumer Description

MY CAVALIER 1997 (95,000 MILES) OUT OF NO REASON DURING COLD DAY TODAY 1/2/08, CAN NOT MOVE FOR NO APPARENT REASON. INITIALLY I CAN BACK UP MY CAR OUT OF THE DRIVE WAY, AND DRIVE A FEW BLOCKS AWAY. WHEN I STOP AT THE STOP SIGN, I FOUND THE CAR CAN NOT MOVE FOR A FEW FEETS TO STUCK AT THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I HAD WAITED FOR 5 MINUTES CHECKING OUT WHAT WRONG WITH THE CAR. THEN CAR SLOWLY CAN MOVE. MY SUSPECT, THERE IS SUDDENLY NO FLUID IN THE CLUTCH FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I BELIEVE THERE IS A DESIGN DEFECT ON THIS PCM FROM GM. SLOWLY IT GAINS MORE POWER. BUT I LOOSE MY TRUST ON THIS VEHICLE. I REMEMBER I SAW 4 YEARS AGO SIMILAR CAVALIER VEHICLE AT THE OIL CHANGE COMPANY. SHE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM, COULD NOT MOVE THE CAR AT ALL. I FOUND IN THE WEB SEARCH, THERE IS NHSTA ID#10017096 THAT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE IN EITHER DIRECTION. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS A RECALL OR WHAT TO DO WITH THIS DANGEROUS FAILURE CONDITION. COULD YOU PLEASE EMAIL ME ASAP?*CN
