55,000 miles and I need a new engine??? WOW!! And I traded in my Intrepid with 75,000 miles to get something "more reliable"! Minimum cost for me...$3,000. It started with the car stalling at lights and quickly progressed to not drivable.

Who could resist all of this??? I mean I have no temp gauge, no speedometer, rpms are all over the place, and my cd player plays when it feels like it(reset button under hood). On top of all these luxuries, the Chevy Cavalier also offers you stalling. I have been in mid-left turn on major intersections of Los Angeles and had my car just die. I have been on the 110 fwy and had my car go into stand-by mode. I would be willing to trade in all thisssssssss for a reliable car. I know I know, I am crazy to give up all my Chevy perks but I am willing to make the sacrifice. *This is my first car and my last Chevy*

OK, this is still a mystery to me and the mechanics.
How about I was driving home from work one evening on 285 in Atlanta at rush hour traffic and the freaking car just cut off for no reason!!! I had a guy almost hit me from behind, thank God it was stop and go traffic. I turned the car off and thank God it started up again. The warranty had passed so I took it to an Auto Zone because right before it cut off,the battery and oil light flashed real quick and went off. They tested my battery, and everything and said nothing was wrong, I also took it other mechanics and no one can find anything wrong and explain why it does that. I get my regular oil changes, change the air filter and everything else people said to do that may make it do that, and the car still does it and the thing is "you never know when it will just cut off on you". I've traced it to the point of whenever you slow down your speed, that's when it will cut off like at a red light or stop sign, and it does it about 2-3 times a year, I have no idea why or whats causing it, but it's scary and dangerous and no one can find out why or what the problem.
