Every time I got in the car, the mat would move up underneath the gas pedal and I would have to move it back. It doesn't have one of those clips to hold it in place that I've seen in other cars. I came very close to getting into an accident because the car started going out of control because the mat was wedged up underneath the pedals.
Other than the floor mat problem, the car is okay. It's a nice ride and pretty reliable, but GM seems to cut corners and uses cheap material.
I was wondering if whoever wrote this article would write back so that I may get a hold of you because I had the same problem with my 2002 Cavalier. I wanted to know what you did about this problem and if there is anything GM will do.
Just glue the mat in place using a contact adhesive.
Rip out and replace every couple of years.
Einstein.
All cavaliers suck so bad. Why WOULD you whine about a freaking floor mat Duh just take it out if its bothering you. You could easily fix this by going 75 miles an hour putting the cruise control on and jumping out the door! Maybe there will be enough centrifugal force to hold the stupid mat down.
Use a tack!
I just replaced the mats in my Cavalier since I was having the same problem.
