NHTSA Complaint #10224432 — 2003 CHEVROLET CAVALIER

I HAVE HAD A CONTINUING PROBLEM WITH A SINGLE PART ON THIS VEHICLE THAT IS PREMATURELY WEARING OUT. I CALLED CHEVROLET TO EXPRESS MY CONCERN ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THAT I WAS 99% SURE THAT IT HAD FAILED AGAIN (FOR THE 4TH TIME), AND WAS IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT (FOR THE 4TH TIME). BECAUSE I HAD THE 'RIGHT UPPER STRUT MOUNT & BEARING' REPLACED 3 PREVIOUS TIMES, I FELT THAT CHEVROLET SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF A DEFECTIVE PART AND ALSO HOPED THAT CHEVROLET WOULD PAY FOR THIS REPLACEMENT. IT IS MY OPINION (AND HAVE NOT BEEN PROVEN OTHERWISE BY CHEVROLET OR ANYBODY AT CHEVROLET), THAT THE UPPER STRUT MOUNT IS AN AUTOMOTIVE PART THAT SHOULD AT LEAST LAST 100,000 MILES IF NOT LONGER. IT IS ALSO MY OPINION THAT THIS PART SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE REPLACED 4 TIMES IN LESS THAN 60,000 MILES. *TR
