"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.

Before anyone says it, the Toyota Cavalier does indeed exist. Toyota and Chevy had a deal in the past, with the little 80s Nova. Also, Toyota just sold Gen-1 Prius technology to Ford.

But the Toyota Cavalier was only sold in Japan.

I bought a 2004 Cavalier in August.

This car is not even a year old & the paint is chipping horribly. I'm driving back to the dealership today. This should be covered under warranty, but it's probably not.

Horrible choice I made in buying this car. For a few thousand more I could have had something decent.
