Description of the problem	My cavalier 1997 (95,000 miles) out of no reason during cold day today 1/2/08, can not move for no apparent reason. Initially i can back up my car out of the drive way, and drive a few blocks away. When i stop at the stop sign, i found the car can not move for a few feets to stuck at the middle of the road. I had waited for 5 minutes checking out what wrong with the car. Then car slowly can move. My suspect, there is suddenly no fluid in the clutch for no apparent reason. I believe there is a design defect on this pcm from gm. Slowly it gains more power. But i loose my trust on this vehicle. I remember i saw 4 years ago similar cavalier vehicle at the oil change company. She experienced the same problem, could not move the car at all. I found in the web search, there is nhsta id#10017096 that the vehicle will not move in either direction. I would like to know if there is a recall or what to do with this dangerous failure condition. Could you please email me asap?*cn
