Description of the problem	On july 5th of this year my car started making a strange nose when starting it. I took the car to my local chevrolet dealer so that the and let them listen to the noise and narrow down the problem as to what might be the problem. The said that it sounded like either the flywheel or the starter, i then took the car to my menachic and he told me the same thing, i was going to take the car to him as some as i could be without my car and he told me not to start the car any more that necessary. Before i could find time to take the car to the shop whatever the problem was compleately failed and i had to have my car towed to the shop. This car should not have started problems because even though it has 46,000 miles the majority of those miles are highway miles which dose not require much starting of the car. I think that there is a major defect in my cars started system that should have not of occured to a car this new. When i bought this car it was mainly for the reputation of the cavalier as a relibale car that would last me for many years.
