Love this site. Same problem 2 years ago. Cost me $700 then. I work out of town, car died on the way back from the airport. She was alone with my daughter, stranded on the side of the highway. I was flying back up north for work. thinking everything was ok. Wasn't til the next morning I had heard about the problem. It's hard to feel sorry for the GM company's financial woes when they're making pieces of s**t vehicles. Maybe if they stood behind what they made, and recalled bonafide issues like the fuel pump/system, I'd buy another one. I'm not holding my breath...

Pain in the butt. I had to fix it myself since I didn't get a warranty, it took a whole day to fix. Luckily auto zone had the pump in stock and I was only left without a drivable car for a couple days.

It was a -20 degrees Celsius in the middle of a Canadian winter when my fuel pump decided to go; I was able to start the vehicle without any problems. Then the RPM's started fluctuating at an alarming rate and it stalled on me. I tried to get it started, but to no avail. The car would crank which led me to put the car in ignition and try to hear the "whirling" sound of a fuel pump; no luck. Luckily she was still under GM's powertrain warranty (I got lucky... the pump died at 96 000km, powertrain warranty is up to 100 000km) so the repairs cost me nothing and the towe to my local Chevrolet dealer cost me nothing under CAA. The Cavaliers and Sunfires (especially 2002-2003 model years) are notorious for fuel pumps. This was definitely a piss off as waiting 40 minutes for a bus in -20 weather really sucks.

Car began stopping at various times, sometimes it would run then at other times it would not start. I had it to mechanics several times but it would always start at thier location and then not start again later. I have been quoted repair prices from $750.00 to $875.00 but these were on possible repairs as no one actually diagnosed the problem as a bad fuel pump besides for a auto with 28,600 original miles at 7 years who would actually say it was a bad fuel pump. This caused a severe disappointment in a Chevrolet product. This is way past warranty age but my son owned two Caveliers a 1995 and a 2002 (the same as my car) and both of his ran fine to well over 150,000 miles and six years of age. He bought a Mitsubishi Raider truck and is very happy with that purchase and states that he will never by an American made vehicle again.
