LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES

 In august of 2002 i had the front right anti-lock sensor for my 1998 chevy cavalier replaced. within nine months, may 2003, i had to have the same sensor replaced. now it is may of 2004 and my dealership is telling me that i need the same sensor replaced. my thinking is that they should of found something after the second time i brought it in. since the 3 years or 36,000 mile warranty is done i have to rely on the parts warranty, which does not help me if i have to replace it every year. three same exact sensors replaced less that two years is senseless. *ak

 Ever since we've bought this vehicle there's been nothing but problems. while backing out of the driveway it will stall out and shut off. in feb of 2000 the spark plugs needed to be replaced. the gas gauge flucuates. it will show 1/4 tank of gas left and ten minutes later the check gas light comes on and the gauge drops. some kind of electrical wire on the front drivers side went bad. the driver's side door won't shut any more, the latch needs to be replaced. it's like every 3 ot 4 months something wither minor or significant goes wrong with it and persoanlly i am sick of it. i believe that my car is a lemon and i want to do something about it.*ak
