Generally it's rare anything will ever happen while your mileage is low generally they wait until the higher mileage like 75 or 100,000 before they really become a pain

Actually let me retract that previous statement they become a pain depending on how good you are on the upkeep, if your on time with all the maintenance and have esp when it comes to cars you're more than likely never going to have problem one it's those that are laxadazical and think the car will take care of itself that usually have the probs later on

I put 65K on an 02 Ecotec. No problems but the car did stall one or two times during ownership. It was an auto. I sold the car and it has over 90 on it. The people haven't claimed any problems.

I put 45K on a 96 2.4 auto and the timing chain broke. The same motor now has 83K and is having a lot of problems. Had to replace the 02 sensors and the exhaust is now faulty. Making a lot of valvetrain noise.

Yea, ummmm. I used to have a J-body...

I am almost at 60,000 on my 03 Cavalier, and my fuel pump just took a shyte on me this morning.

Other then that I haven't had any problems at all...

Oh wait, the upper right speedometer bulb needs a love smack to light up.

And under heavy deceleration and even some WOT turns the PS Pump shytes out on me and sounds like ABS.

Haron if he bought it brand new off the showroom floor in 04 and it already has that many miles on it he must have put over 10,000 miles a year or more on it

Your Not doing anything wrong Haron and you don't need to think twice before posting things if you find something fascinating or interesting go ahead and post it that's what the site is here for J body lovers and all their friends. it's my fault anyway i shouldn't have made such snide remarks like that but as i said i was tired at the time and sometimes when i am tired i get irritable it's all good.

Yes Nightowl our cars do have electric fuel pumps located in the gas tank.

And the Power Steering thing is quite common, at least from what I've seen it is.

Saturday, March 11, 2006 4:03 PM
Yeah someone suggested to me awhile back i get a power steering flush back around 42,000 or so i didn't though because i figured they were trying to talk me into something i didn't need, plus i have seen people on the org here occasionally saying if it ain't broke don't fix it. So far i haven;t had any leaks or anything yet and i'm at about 60,700 or so now
