Consumer Description

I OWN A 2003 CHEVROLET CAVALIER WITH 65000 MILES AND THE FUEL PUMP JUST FAILED LEAVING ME STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THERE WAS NO WARNING AND NO INDICATION THAT A PROBLEM WAS COMING, THE CAR JUST STOPPED. NOW I AM TOLD THAT I MUST PAY $1000 TO HAVE A NEW FUEL PUMP INSTALLED. THE NEW PART IS THE SAME AS THE OLD OEM PART. I HAVE BEEN READING THAT 2003 CAVALIER'S HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM FOR YEARS AND THAT CHEVROLET HAS HAD NO RECALL FOR AN OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE PART FORM THE FACTORY. THIS IS RIDICULOUS! I FEEL THAT SOME SORT OF COMPENSATION SHOULD BE MADE TO THE HUNDREDS OF GM CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE HAD THIS KIND OF PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT A PART OF THE GM BAILOUT! THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT MUST BE RESOLVED AT THE MANUFACTURER LEVEL.... *TR
