1999 CHEVROLET CAVALIER Engine And Engine Coolingengine Problems

THE ENGINE STALLS WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING. ENGINE WILL START IF TRANSMISSION IS PUT INTO NEUTRAL. THE EVENT HAPPENS WITH AND WITHOUT CRUISE CONTROL ON. IT HAPPENS AT STEADY HIGHWAY SPEED AND WHEN DECREASING SPEED. IT WENT FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS WITHOUT STALLING, BUT THEN STALLED TWICE IN ONE WEEK. 2.2L ENGINE WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *TR

THE ENGINE MADE A TICKING SOUND, LATER THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE, AND IT WAS REPLACED. HOWEVER THE ENGINE WAS TICKING AGAIN. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN WAS NOT PUT ON CORRECTLY BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. *AK *SC *JB

THE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO HAVE NO POWER. *PH *JB

WHEN DRIVING, CONSUMER DEPRESSED BRAKE PEDAL TWICE SUCCESSIVELY AND ENGINE SHUDDERED, THEN STALLED.. 1999, CHEVROLET, CAVALIER Z24.*AK

CAR CUTS OFF AT ANY GIVEN TIME. CAN BE RUNNING AT 60 MPH OR SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT, JUST COMPLETELY CUTS OFF. WILL NOT RESTART, HAVE TO PARK IT AND LET IT SIT, COULD ONLY TAKE 10 MINUTES OR COULD TAKE A FEW HOURS BEFORE IT WILL RUN AGAIN. *JB

WHILE DRIVING AND WITH NO WARNING, THE VEHICLE STALLED. *AK WATER DRIPPED FROM THE VEHICLE WHICH CAUSED THE CONSUMER TO ADD ANTIFREEZE. THIS COOLED THE ENGINE. THE CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND THERE HE FOUND OUT THE MOTOR MOUNT WAS BAD AND THE ENGINE ROCKED BACK AND FORTH. THIS CAUSED THE BOLT ON THE COMPRESSOR TO PENETRATE A HOLE IN THE HOSE. THE MOTOR MOUNT AND HOSE HAD TO BE REPLACED. *PH *JB

WHEN THE CONSUMER SLOWED DOWN TO MAKE A TURN, THE ENGINE STALLED.*JB ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS CONSUMER SLOWS DOWN VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE WILL STALL. *MR

VALVE COVER GASKET AND HEAD GASKET BOTH FAULTY ON ENGINE AT ONLY 60,000 MILES. THIS IS A VERY COMMON COMPLAINT YET I HAVE NOT FOUND ANY RECALLS.

CAR TEMPERATURE GAUGE INDICATED CAR RUNNING HOT, DROVE IT 3 MILES TO SAFETY, ENGINE CEASED, WARPED HEADS. NO PRIOR NOTICE OF OVERHEATING, NEVER OVERHEATED BEFORE THIS INCIDENT; ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED. WARRANTY COMPANY INSPECTED, SAID WATER PUMP AND THERMOSTAT FAILED, BOTH WERE MANUFACTURER PARTS, WHICH CAUSED ENGINE TO OVERHEAT AND SEVERE DAMAGE. I WAS NOT REIMBURSED BY WARRANTY FOR ENGINE, I HAD TO PAY MYSELF, $3000.00 - IF MANUFACTURER DEFECTS THAN WARRANTY CO SHOULD PAY!*AK
