Thought I'd start a thread where you list problems and fixes you've had with your car and at what mileage to see if there are any common problems so others can look for them if their car starts doing something funny.
2004 cavalier, standard, 2.2 ecotec
60,000 miles - Rubber hose for clutch rubbed hole in it because it sits between a V shaped piece of sheet metal. Fixed, cut clutch hose in half, installed metal brake line, used hose clamps on each end, metal sits between sheet metal now. Has held up for 68,000 miles.
127,500 Front Wheel bearing, fix, change hub
128,000 Broken Timing guide, fix, replace timing set, rough idle, stalling, ran fine otherwise.
Almost forgot
115,000 Gauges started going out, Fuel gauge would work part time, then quit, Speedometer would work, but sometimes would start losing mph, Temp guage would work sometimes, go high others. Fix, change cluster from junkyard car.
Fuel pump at 98 000km
Alternator and battery at 102 000km
Stock CD player died at 110 000km
Odometer on the instrument cluster at 135 000km

A bit too much for a car I've only owned 5 years...

Engine fan motor at 72,000 miles

IP cluster around 130,000 miles
Ignition module and coils at 140,000 miles
Fuel pump around 160,000 miles
IP cluster again around 190,000 miles
The water pump seems to be weeping, and I'm at 235,000 miles now.
I've done batteries, o2 sensors, coolant temp sensor, and a couple other little things that I don't remember the exact mileage or dates.

2004 cavalier - 130,000 miles, plugged cat, lost top end power and next day was hard to start, wouldn't idle well and would die when the engine would get up to temp., also wouldn't go above 2000rpm's no matter what, and would usually die if you gave it any gas.
