2007 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO Complaints

TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING SOME TIMES THE GEARS DO NOT SEEM TO CATCH AND IT SLIPS AND JERKS THE CAR INTO GEAR CAUSING THE CAR TO OCCASIONALLY LOSE TRACTION DURING ACCELERATION. CAN BE A LITTLE SCARY AT TIMES. *TR *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO. WHILE PARKED, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ACTIVATE THE HAZARD LIGHTS SEVERAL TIMES HOWEVER THE LIGHTS WERE INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 163,600.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A TRAFFIC STOP, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND AND THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT INTO ANY GEAR. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES, THE VEHICLE BECAME RESPONSIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED TO THE CONTACT THAT IF THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE, THEN THEY WERE UNABLE TO ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 71,000.

CAR WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK INTERMITTENTLY. DEALER FOUND WIRES TO BE BROKEN AND WIRES THAT WERE FRAYED AT THE SHIFT SOLENOID. THEY REMOVED CONSOLE TO SPLICE AND FIX THE WIRES. DEALER DEEMED WEAR AND TEAR? AT 32,000 MILES? (CONSOLE WOULD HAVE COVERED THESE WIRES TOTALLY SO NOT SURE WHERE THE WEAR AND TEAR WOULD BE FROM). FROM PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK? DRIVE? REVERSE? I DOUBT IT WAS WEAR AND TEAR. *TR

POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILS AT SLOW SPEEDS MAKING PARKING DIFFICULT AND TURNING THE WHEEL WHILE STOPPED DIFFICULT. STEERING WHEEL BINDS AND IS RESISTANT WHEN THIS HAPPENS, AND IS MOST NOTABLE AFTER VEHICLE IS HOT AND HAS REACHED TEMPERATURE. SOME CLATTER NOISE OCCURS WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I DID COMPLAIN TO THE DEALER IN DETAIL WHILE UNDER WARRANTY, BUT WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING WAS FOUND. WARRANTY HAS SINCE EXPIRED , AND I SUSPECT THAT THIS PROBLEM EITHER HAS NO SOLUTION OR WOULD NOT BE HANDLED WITH A SATISFACTORY OUTCOME. I HAVE READ THAT OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS TYPE OF FAILURE WITH THE 2007 MONTE CARLO, PROMPTING ME TO NOTIFY YOU THAT THIS MAY BE A WIDE SPREAD SAFETY ISSUE AFFECTING THIS MODEL VEHICLE. *TR

VERY UNEVEN AND PREMATURE WEAR OF REAR TIRES ON 2007 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO SS DUE TO DEFECTIVE SPINDLE RODS. TIRES WERE REPLACED. *TR

AT AROUND 60 MPH THE TRANSMISSION WOULD COME IN AND OUT OF LOCK UP. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE TORQUE CONVERTER COMING APART IN THE TRANSMISSION. ALSO I STILL HAVE A CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM THE CAR AT TAKE OFF. THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO THAT I BOUGHT NEW AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL TAKE OVER AT ANY TIME OR SPEED. IT MAY GO 2 WEEKS AND NOT DO IT, BUT MOST OF THE TIME IT WILL DO IT 2 OR 3 TIMES A WEEK. WHEN IT DOES IT MAY DO IT 1 TO 4 TIMES. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY DEALER 4 OR 5 TIMES BUT THE JUST SAY THEY CAN'T GET IT TO DO IT . I CALLED CHEVROLET AND THEY SAY THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING TELL IT DOES IT WHEN THEY ARE DRIVING IT. IS THEIR ANY ONE I CAN GO TO GET IT FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED? I PUT THE LAST TIME IT DID IT IN THE BOX BELOW BUT IT DOES IT AT DIFFERENT TIME. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO. AT LOW SPEEDS SUCH AS 25 MPH, THE CONTACT CANNOT READ THE SPEEDOMETER GAUGE WHEN THE WEATHER IS CLOUDY OR OVERCAST. HE FELT THAT THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE HE CANNOT DETERMINE HOW FAST HE IS DRIVING. HE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY COULD INSTALL AN AFTERMARKET SPEEDOMETER, BUT IT WOULD NOT BE GUARANTEED. THE CONTACT REFUSED THIS OPTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 1,500. UPDATED 01/02/08.*LJ UPDATED 12/12/07
