1995 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO Complaints

THIS IS NOT A SAFETY RECALL IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SAFETY ACT. HOWEVER, IT IS DEEMED A SAFETY IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN BY THE AGENCY. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: 1995-1999 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO Z34 PASSENGER VEHICLES. THE BRAKING PERFORMANCE IN WET WEATHER OR WET ROAD CONDITIONS IS REDUCED MORE THAN A DRIVER WOULD EXPECT. *AK

TRANSMISSION FAILLED AT 119461 REVERSE REACTION DRUM OUT LIKE ALOT OF THESE MODELS THIS YEAR COST1945 TO REPAIR. THEN, AT 127892 THE PARK NEUTRAL SWITCH OUT/ ANTI LOCK LIGHT STAYS ON ,TURN SIGNAL SWITCH DOESN'T WORK , AIR CONDITIONER DOESN'T WORK, FRONT ROTORS ON CAR HAVE TO BE SPECIAL ORDERED BECAUSE HUBS MACHINED SHORT, AND CHEVROLET HAS NO RECALLS ON ANY OF IT. LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION, AND SOME OF THE OTHERS TO GUESS WE WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GENRAL MOTORS VEHICLE, AND RECOMEND THAT THEY WOULDN'T NEITHER.*AK

MY 1995 MONTE CARLO WITH THE 3100 V6 HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS SINCE WE BOUGHT IT. WE HAVE REPLACED THE EGR VALVE TWICE IN A YEAR, THE WATER PUMP, THE THERMOSTAT, THE RADIATOR, THE RADIATOR CAP, AND IT STILL OVER HEATS TO THE POINT THAT THE CAR SHUTS DOWN AND THE HOT LIGHT COMES ON IN THE CAR. I AM AT MY WITS END AND I HAVE PAID SO MUCH MONEY TO GET THIS FIGURED OUT AND NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHY. I HAVE HAD IT TESTED FOR A HEAD GASKET LEAK AND IT SHOWS NOTHING. THERE IS AIR GETTING INTO THE SYSTEM FROM SOMEWHERE BECAUSE IT CAN BE BLED OFF. I REALLY LIKE THE WAY THIS CAR DRIVES AND I DO NOT WANT TO GET RID OF IT. I JUST WANT IT TO BE FIXED AND I HAVE HAD 7 DIFFERENT MECHANICS TO WORK ON IT AND THEY ARE STUMPED! *JB

CONSUMER STATES OF HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES ABS SYSTEM. DEALER WAS CONTACTED. MR

WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH THERE WAS A NOISE AT FRONT END. PASSENGER FRONT TIRE HAD DISCONNECTED FROM VEHICLE, LOWER BALL JOINT HAD BROKEN.*AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 15-20 MPH AND WITHOUT WARNING FRONT LEFT WHEEL CAME OFF OF THE AXLE, WAS ABLE TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED.*AK

WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH DRIVER SEATBACK FELL BACK. DEALER NOT CONTACTED AT THIS TIME.*AK

I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS MODEL CAR. IF THIS IS SUCH A BIG ISSUE WITH THIS PART WHY HAS GM NOT MADE A RECALL? THIS IS A BAD DESIGN BY MANUFACTURES ENGINEERING. TO REPLACEMENT OR FIX THIS PROBLEM IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO DO. IT WOULD BE NICE FOR THE MANUFACTURE TO OWN UP TO A BAD DESIGN.*AK

WHILE TRAVELING AT 5 MPH FRONT RIGHT TIRE SEPARATED FROME BALL JOINT. TIRE WENT SIDEWAYS TOWARDS THE GROUND, AND VEHICLE STOPPED. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

WHILE CHANGING THE OIL IN MY CAR, MY HUSBAND NOTICED AN OIL LEAK. TOOK THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP, MORRIS PONTIAC, AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NOT SPECIFIC AREA OF LEAK, THEY STATED THAT THE ENGINE ITSELF IS LEAKING AND THE ENGINE WILL NEED TO BE SEALED. THEY STATED THAT TO DO THAT, THEY WOULD HAVE TO TOTALLY TEAR DOWN THE ENGINE AND SEAL IT COMPLETELY. I FEEL WITH THE SMALL AMOUNT OF MILES ON MY CAR/ENGINE THIS PROBLEM SHOULD NOT BE. IT SEEMS SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE I HAVE HAD MANY MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR, INCLUDING REPLACING A TRANSMISSION. WE LIVE IN AN AREA WITHOUT HILLS/MOUNTAINS SO THERE IS VERY LITTLE IF NO STRAIN ON TRANSMISSION OR ENGINE. *AK
