I HAVE A 2000 MONTE CARLO WHICH I HAD SERVICED AT BORCHERS AUTO IN BLACKWOOD NJ . THEY REPLACED THE INTAKE GASKET SET [ MS90565 ] , AND THE VALVE COVER GASKET SET [ VS50442R ] . I WANTED TO KNOW IF THIS WAS A RECALL FOR THAT MODEL YEAR THAT I WAS NOT AWARE OF. *AK

THERE IS A POPING NOICE IN THE FRONT END. CAN ALSO FEEL IT THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL. HAVE TAKEN IT SEVERAL PLACES TO FIND THE PROBLEM BUT NO ONE CAN FIND IT.*AK

I HAVE A 2000 MONTE CARLO LS COUPE THAT I PURCHASED ON 10/2000. I STARTED EXPERIENCING FRONT BRAKE VIBRATIONS AT 11000 MILES. THE DEALER SAID THE FRONT ROTOR WENT OUT-OF ROUND AND THEY RESURFACED THEM. THIS VIBRATION RETURNED AT THE 22000-MILE MARK. BACK TO THE DEALER I WENT AND THIS TIME THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT ROTORS. WELL THE CAR JUST REACHED THE 32000-MILE MARK AND THE VIBRATION IS BACK. AGAIN I SEE THE DEALER FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THIS TIME THEYRE CLAIMING THAT THIS IS A WEARABLE ITEM AND THEY CAN NOT COVER IT UNDER THE VEHICLE WARRANTY, AND THAT THERE WOULD A CHARGE. APPARENTLY SOMETHING IS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM TO RECUR EVERY 11  12 THOUSAND MILES, AND I KNOW ITS NOT MY DRIVING HABIT, I HAVE DRIVEN DIFFERENT CARS/TRUCKS FOR 28 YEARS AND NEVER HAD ROTORS TO WARP. I CALLED THE GM CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER AND ALL THEY WOULD SAY IS THAT THEY AGREE WITH THE DEALER, THOUGH THEY FILED IT AND GAVE ME THE FILE #1-120464560. IVE HEARD AND READ OF THIS SAME PROBLEM FROM OTHER OWNERS OF MONTE CARLO AND IMPALAS ALL AROUND THE 2000  2003 MODELS. SO IT LOOKS LIKE GM DOESN'T WANT TO LOOK AT THIS PROBLEM OR DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT UNTIL SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS. *JB

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED UP HILL AND WITH NO WARNING THE TRANSMISSION DECELERATED EVEN WHEN THE CONSUMER'S FOOT WAS ON THE ACCELERATOR AND IT WAS DIFFICULT FOR THE CONSUMER TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE.

SEAT BELTS, DRIVER SIDE. THE BELT WOULD BE LOCKED TIGHT WHEN I TRIED TO PUT IT ON, IT COULD NOT BE MOVED,, I DROVE TO BOB SCHUCK CHEVROLET IN NEW ULM MN AND TOLD THEM WHAT WAS WRONG AND A MECHANIC CAME OUT AND PULLED REALLY HARD ON IT,, FINALLY IT LOOSENED UP, AT THAT TIME IT WAS NOT IN THE LOOP ON THE HEAD REST, THAT IS THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED, IT WAS THROUGH THE LOOP, I DID THE SAME THE THING THE MECHANIC DID THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED AND THE LOOP BUSTED CLEAN OFF. I TOOK IT TO THE SAME DEALER AND TOLD THEM ABOUT IT AND HE ORDERED A NEW LOOP FOR IT. I FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT THIS IS A DEFECTIVE SEAT BELT. I WROTE THE DEALER TELLING HIM THAT I DON'T FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS DEFECTIVE IN THE FIRST PLACE, AND HE WROTE STATING THAT IF I DIDN'T PAY THE $23.00 THAT HE WOULD PUT A LIEN ON MY CAR. WHAT A FLIPPEN JOKE!!!!!!!!! PLEASE RESPOND. I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM ANYONE THAT HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH ANY GM PRODUCT. MY NEXT CAR WILL BE FOREIGN!!!!!!!ANYONE CAN EMAIL ME PERTAING TO GM PRODUCTS AT [email protected].*AK
