Consumer Description

I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHEVROLET CAVALER, THE DEALERSHIP EVEN RIPPED ME OFF, THEY CHARGED ME 400 DOLLARS TO FIX A WATER HOSE PUMP AND TENSION BELT, THIS CAR HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS, AND NOW 5 MONTHS LATER, THE VEHICLE IS ACTING UP AGAIN. I DON'T KNOW WHY CHEVROLET WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE MASSIVE MAINTENANCE TO THIS CAR...BUT IN THE FUTURE, I AM BUYING FROM A FOREIGN COMPANY DUE TO ALL OF THE MAINTENANCE. AND ON TOP OF ALL OF THE OTHER GARBAGE, THIS WAS SUPPOSE TO BE A LOW MAINTENANCE CAR, AND THAT IS NOT EVEN TRUE! I THINK I CAN SPEAK FOR EVERYONE ELSE, THAT THIS CAR IS THE WORSE CAR THAT WAS MADE IN 1998. IT TOOK ME THREE DIFFERENT TIMES OF BRINGING MY CAR TO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T FIX THE RECALL THE FIRST TIME. I CLAIM DISCRIMINATION WHEN IT COMES TO CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS
