Problems with vehicle's odometer. The consumer noticed that the odometer would cut in and out when driven over a bump. The consumer totaled the vehicle and the insurance company informed the consumer that there was an odometer discrepancy.

I have a 1999 Cavalier, purchased new. Approximately 1 year ago my dashboard cracked up around the center of the windshield for no reason. Since my car was no longer under warranty I did not pursue the problem. However, in the meantime, my daughter purchased used the same make & year of car and she has the same problem. The vehicles have never been in an accident and I am wondering if this is a defect with this particular model. Also, my doors freeze shut all winter long. Can anything be done about this?

I purchase a used 1999 Chevrolet Cavalier from a Chevrolet dealer in hamilton NJ. Since the time of purchase in late 2001, the car has been in service many times for the windows and locks not working among other things, and has had three driver's side window regulators replaced. Each time I was told a new regulator was put in. When I questioned the quality of the regulators, the dealer told me my complaint was with GM and not them because they get their parts from GM. How can the window regulators be "bad" three times in less than a year" besides the windows, I've had problems with automatic locks not working and the drivers side door not closing. The car is still under warranty but what happens when the warrenty expires and I need yet another window regulator" I do not qualify for the NJ used car lemon law because the problems began three months beyond the limitation date, even though I met every other qualification.
