2001 Chevrolet Cavalier VL review from North America
"GM should be ashamed of itself"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Strut mounts at 34000km's.
Brakes sticking at 11,000.
Needed new rotors and pads at 39,000km's.
New fan motor at 34,000kms.
Wiring harness repair at 41,000km's.
Wipers sometimes stop working whenever they feel like it.
Stalled on the highway.
General comments?
The car handles considerably well and takes off when it needs to.
The car is very solid with thick doors and the body panels sound thick.
The sound system is excellent compared to most vehicle in this class.
On the bad side, the engine is quite loud and the Anti-lock braking system sometimes engages while braking over a bump.
This vehicle is at the dealership every 4 months or so for one problem of another.
