Description of the problem | I just got a used chevy cavalier a 97 model and it over heats constantly and there is a pop an sparks when starting the car and the lights won't turn off and now there is wobbling in the passenger side wheel and white smoke coming out the back . I only had it for maybe two days now and the fan to the motor won't come on now and i took it back to the car lot where i bought it from they have replaces the thermostat( airconditioner thing ) but it' still over heats .. And then i look in my book , and it gives a web site and there is all these recalls and the guy tells me when i call that the things going on with my car are not in the recall list accept for the something to do with speed but if that is the case why is the lights not cutting off and the car doing all these things .. I had a person look at it who works on cars and they told me that the spark is on the fuel injection side of the motor and i was lucky i didn't go up in flames .. Is there any help in fixing this car since these are defects ? |
