Trunk latch...
Friday, July 08, 2005 2:03 PM
Well having a few first problems with the Cavalier, currently at 15k. First the brakes would pulsate after they get heated up, and usually below 30mph would pulsate, anyways it did that from day 1 but lived with it cause it wasnt to bad. Then a passanger who was riding with me said something. So anyways brought it in for that, turns out they were out of round, so they resurfaced them, and its perfect now.

The problem I also brought it in for and they said they fixed but it isnt. The trunk wont close half the time and it takes at least six or seven times to trying to close it before it does.

They said they adjusted the trunk latch and it worked, but it looks like it came unadjusted again before I got home from the dealership.

Anyways going back Monday morning, they said 7:45 be there with it and they will for sure fix it.

Anyone else have the problem with the trunk not closing on an 04?
