TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO. WHEN THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE, HE NOTICED A WARNING MESSAGE INDICATING SERVICE TRACTION SYSTEM AND ABS FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE TECHNICIAN FLASHED THE COMPUTER SYSTEM TO CLEAR THE CODE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE PERSISTS. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED THE FAILURE AND WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE THAT THE WHEEL SENSOR ON EACH WHEEL, GROUND, CONTROL SYSTEM, OR A FAULTY WIRING HARNESS COULD BE CAUSING THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT IS IN THE PROCESS OF TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND NOTIFYING THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 153,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO SUPER SPORT. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE RESTARTED AND WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ENGINE AND ECM CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO PAY OVER $500 TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR APPROXIMATELY FOUR MONTHS; HOWEVER, THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE EVER SHUT OFF. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 88,000.

WE HAVE A 2001 CHEVY MONTE CARLO THAT HAD ISSUES WITH THE ANTI THEFT, PASS LOCK SYSTEM. THIS KEPT THE CAR FROM STARTING AT TIMES AND SOMETIMES WOULD CAUSE IT TO DIE WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY.. IT STARTED HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY UNTIL IT FINALLY QUIT WORKING ALL TOGETHER. THE BCM AND THE PASS LOCK SENSOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE ASKED FOR THE OLD PARTS. I HAVE RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS GM VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUES AND THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALLS. I CONSIDER THIS A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD AND GM NEEDS TO LOOK INTO IT A LITTLE FURTHER.. *TR
