2000 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO Complaints

WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING THE VEHICLE STALLED AND BECAME DIFFICULT FOR THE CONSUMER TO CONTROL. THE STARTER AND FLYWHEEL HAD TO BE REPLACED. *AK *CB *NLM

WHILE USING TURN SIGNALS, THE TURN SIGNALS INTERMITTENTLY WILL WORK AND NOT WORK. I HAVE FOUND THAT IF THEY ARE NOT WORKING THAT I CAN GET THEM WORKING AGAIN BY ACTIVATING THE 4-WAY FLASHERS. SOMETIMES IT TAKES PRESSING THE 4-WAY FLASHER BUTTON NUMEROUS TIMES TO GET THE 4-WAY FLASHERS WORKING BUT THEN THE TURN SIGNALS WILL WORK AGAIN. I BELIEVE THAT THE PROBLEM IS IN THE FLASHER UNIT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE. *NLM

THE INTAKE MANIFOLD CRACKED, WHICH CAUSED FLUID TO LEAK. EGR, PLUGS, NEW COOLANT OIL AND FILTER HAD TO BE REPLACED.*JB

LOW COOLENT. TOOK TO THE DEALER AT 40,000 MILES FOR PROBLEM. DEALER REPLACED MANIFOLD INTAKE GASKETT. AT 42,000 VEHICLE HEATED TO LUKE WARM TEMPERATURE. RETURNED TO DEALER AT 45,000 MILES. DEALER REPLACED RADIATOR AND THERMOSTAT. DEALERS EXPLINATION: "THE WEEKEST AREA WAS ORIGINALLY REPLACE WHICH LEAD TO OTHER PROBLEMS DOWN THE LINE"!!!!

I TOO, LIKE ALL THE OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED MAJOR FRONT END PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR. IT'S ALWAYS VIBRATED AND I'VE ALWAYS HEARD "NOISES." THE DEALER DID TRY TO RECTIFY THIS SITUATION BY REPLACING MY RACK AND PINION AND REPLACING MY TIE ROD ENDS, BECAUSE BOTH OF MY FRONT TIRES WERE ABOUT TO FALL OFF. I'VE EXTREMELY SCARED TO PUT MY CHILDREN IN THIS CAR, BUT HAVE NO CHOICE. NOW, AS OF TODAY MY EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT AND "TRAC OFF" LIGHT STAY ON CONSTANTLY. SO THERE IS JUST ONE MORE PROBLEM TO ADD TO THE LIST OF THINGS THAT HAVE GONE WRONG WITH ONLY 48,000 MILES. I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR. TS

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AND WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING THE VEHICLE WILL SWAY FROM SIDE TO SIDE. PLEASE FURNISH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION DEALER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM.*JB

ENGINE FOUND TO HAVE THREE OIL LEAKS THAT HAVE BEEN PRESENT FOR WELL OVER A YEAR. A LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOUND CAKED OIL FROM LEAKS IN THE A/C COMPRESSOR (PASSENGER SIDE FRONT), FRONT CRANK SENSOR (PASSENGER>SIDE REAR) AND THE INTAKE MANIFOLD (DRIVER SIDE REAR). THEY ALSO STATED THAT THE CAR WAS TOO NEW TO HAVE THAT MUCH CAKED UP OIL AND THAT I SHOULD CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE FROM (ALONG WITH MY THREE PREVIOUS VEHICLES). THREE SEPARATE OIL LEAKS IN A 2000 VEHICLE IS NOT NORMAL OR EXPECTED.

I HAVE HAD A VIBRATION IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE FROM THE DAY I PURCHASED IT. I HAVE HAD IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD TIRE'S REPLACED, THE ROTOR'S REPLACED, HAD TIRES BALANCED NUMEROUS TIMES AND AM STILL HAVING PROBLEM'S. I HAVE CONTACTED GM ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND THEY KEEP IGNORING MY REQUEST TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED OR REPLACED. DT

INTERMITANT FAILURE OF TURN SIGNALS AND FOUR-WAY HAZARD FLASHERS. SIGNALS WILL UNEXPLICABLY CEASE OPERATION WHEN ACTIVATED OR FAIL TO ACTIVATE AT ALL. ALTERNATELY, THEY WILL OPERATE PROPERLY. CONDITION WAS REPLICATED ONLY ONCE IN 4 DEALER SERVICE VISITS AND THEN DID NOT PERSIST LONG ENOUGH TO FACILITATE FAULT ISOLATION. CONDITION IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS AND COULD LEAD TO ACCIDENTS. DT

CONSUMER STATES THEY HAD VEHICLE SERVICE,DEALER FOUND CRACKS IN THE SERPENTINE BELT. NLM
