1995 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO Complaints

THE INSTRUMENT LIGHTS AND PARKING LIGHTS(ALL OF THE REAR RUNNING LIGHTS)STOPPED WORKING DUE TO FAULTY CONNECTION IN THE FUSE BOX. THE FUSE BOX IS NOT PROTECTED AND EXPOSED TO ELEMENTS THROWN UP INTO IT BY THE FRONT TIRE, THE CONNECTIONS ARE AFFECTED BY CORROSION. THIS WAS BROUGHT TO OWNER'S ATTENTION WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED, WHILE BEING DRIVEN AT NIGHT. *CJ

SINCE NEW BRAKES WORK INCONSISTENTLY. TAKEN TO 2 DEALERS AND INDEPENDENT GARAGE SEVERAL TIMES. THE ONLY ANSWER THEY FOUND WAS TO ADJUST REAR SHOES. HOWEVER THIS DOES NOT FIX PROBLEM. SOMETIMES YOU STEP ON THE BRAKES AND THE CAR JUST WON'T SLOW DOWN. USUALLY RIGHT BEFORE YOU RUN INTO SOMETHING THE BRAKES SEEM TO GRAB. WHENEVER I HAVE A FRIEND DRIVE MY CAR THEY COMMENT ON HOW SCARY THE BRAKES ARE. THIS CAR HAS A LOT OF BASIC FLAWS I CAN LIVE WITH BUT I WOULD LIKE BRAKES. THANK YOU.

THE REVERSE REACTION SHAFT FAILED WHILE ACCELERATING TO HIGHWAY SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY A NUMBER OF MECHANICS THAT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS VEHICLE, THOUGH I WAS NOT AWARE OF IT AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. I THINK THIS DEFECT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED, AND THOSE THAT PAID FOR COSTLY REPAIRS SHOULD BE COMPLETELY REIMBURSED.

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY VEHICLE WILL AUTOMATICALLY SPEED UP. TROTTLE PEDAL GETS STUCK.*AK

TWICE UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS THE REAR WINDOW HAS EXPLODED. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I RUN THE REAR DEFROSTER. I CONTACTED MY GM DEALER ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND THEY FAULTED THE WINDOW INSTALLATION. THE WINDOW INSTALLERS FAULT THE DEFROSTER, WHICH IS WHAT I BELIEVE IS AT FAULT ALSO. BOTH TIME I HAVE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO NOT HAVE ANY KIDS IN THE BACK SEAT. HAD THERE BEEN ANY KIDS BACK THERE THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN SHOWERED IN GLASS.*AK

REPLACED ROTORS AND PADS SEVERAL TIMES IN A YEAR REAR BRAKES ARE ALLWAYS OUT OF ADJUSTMENT. *AK

CONSUME RWAS TRAVELING ABOUT 30MPH AND BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON/HEADLIGHTS WENT DIM, AND CAR COMPLETELY WENT OUT. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED. DEALERSHIP MECHANIC TOLD CONSUMER THAT THE BATTERY WAS LEAKING ACID OUT OF THE POSITIVE POST.

A DEFECTIVE DRUM AND 2ND CLUTCH HOUSING IN THE TRANSMISSION IS CAUSING PREMATURE FAILURE OF TRANSMISSION. *AK

CHEVROLET DOESN'T FEEL THIS A SAFETY CONCERN AT THIS TIME---PER LINDA CHEVROLET CUST ASSISTANCE. NO SAFETY DEFECT LISTED IN SUMMARY. *AK

ALTERNATOR FAILED WHILE TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN IN TO BUSIE INTERSECTION, ENGINE CUT OFF WAS ALMOST HIT BY CROSSING TRAFIC
