NHTSA Complaint #10241382 — 2004 CHEVROLET CAVALIER

FIRST, THANK YOU FOR LISTENING. I HAVE A 2004 CHEVROLET CAVALIER BASE MODEL. 2.2 ECOTEC ENGINE. THE ABS, LOWTRAC, AND SERVICE LIGHT COMES ON IN THE VEHICLE WHEN PLACED IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. CAR HESITATES AND WANTS TO SHUT DOWN EVERY TIME!! WHEN IT FIRST STARTED TO HAPPEN, IT COULD BE SHUT OFF AND RE-STARTED AND THE LIGHTS WOULD GO OUT. NOW THEY ARE IS ON ALL THE TIME! I HAVE ALSO NOTICED WHEN ON SLIPPERY ROADWAYS THE ABS DOES NOT WORK IN THE VEHICLE> I HAVE SLID SIDEWAYS AND THROUGH INTERSECTIONS . A HORRIBLE NOISE COMES FROM THE CAR WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE OFF IN THE CAR IF THEY DO NOT COME ON RIGHT AWAY. I APPLY THE BRAKES, AND THE AWFUL GROWLING AND NOISE THAT COMES FROM THE CAR IS VERY SCARY. I AM AFRAID TO LET MY WIFE EVEN DRIVE SOMETIMES. I HAVE NOT REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP YET AS I AM WAITING TO SEE IF THIS IS A RECALL. IF IT IS, I CAN HAVE THE REPAIR DONE FOR NOTHING. I FEEL IT SHOULD BE DONE FOR NOTHING AS IF THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE THAT COULD CAUSE TERRIBLE HARM OR EVEN DEATH IF THIS OCCURS WHILE DRIVING.. *TR
