    Sticking ignition in 1998 chevrolet cavalier
    The ignition in my 1998 Chevy Cavalier keeps sticking. It seems like there is a locking system in the ignition. I have called around and it seems like I will have to fix the ignition and the parts to fix it can run $3-500.00. Is this accurate or are the dealers trying to take me for a ride?

Chevrolet Cavalier 2002 [ 2 Answers ]

All of a sudden, out of the blue, my car starts squeaking and creaking. Sounds like the front end is going to fall out. It is specifically when the tires go over a bump. Doesn't get worse when turning or pulling into my driveway. Does it need a lube? Is it the shocks? Is it the chassis? Help.
