Consumer Description

I OWN A 2003 CHEVROLET CAVALIER, AND EARLIER THIS MORNING, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO CRANK AFTER I WAS ABLE TO ROLL IT INTO A PARKING SPOT. AFTER SOME TROUBLE SHOOTING, I WAS ABLE TO NARROW IT DOWN TO THE FUEL PUMP WAS NOT COMING ON WHEN THE IGINITION WAS TURNED ON. I CAUGHT A RIDE BACK TO MY HOUSE AND BEGAN DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH AND NOTICED THIS WAS A COMMON TRAIT FOR THE 2003 CHEVROLET CAVALIER. THAT IS FUEL PUMP FAILURE AROUND 60,000+ MILES. MY CAVALIER HAS JUST A LITTLE OVER 64,000 MILES ON IT. MY CAR'S FAILURE WAS PERFECTLY DESCRIBED IN THE MANY FORUMS I READ OVER. THAT'S WHEN I DECIDED TO CHECK FOR ANY OTHER RECALLS ON THIS YEAR CAR. I NOTICED THAT THE NHTSA #PE07033 AND THE ENGINEERING ANALYSIS #EA07-015 PERTAINED DIRECTLY TO MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH THIS PROBLEM. *CN
