2002 Chevrolet Cavalier review from North America
"This car has been a huge disappointment"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The dashboard cracked and had to be replaced after one year.
The glove compartment would open on its own.
Paint on top of car faded on two small sections.
When it rained water would leak inside the car onto the backseat, leaving half the seat wet. Water also goes into the trunk leaving a bad musty smell.
Paint on inside door handle faded during first month of purchase.
The inside part where you adjust the side mirror lets in water.
The dashboard is making a noise.
Brakes already had to fixed.
General comments?
This car was purchased brand new. It was to be a gift from my dad to my daughter. Due to the things that have started to go wrong with this car in under three years. I will not allow my daughter to drive her car to college. I'm afraid of what else will start to go wrong.
This car is not very comfortable on out of town trips.
