2007 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO Complaints

The cable harness in question runs from the fuse box under hood through firewall to the passenger side foot area. At this point it connects to another harness that connects to various items at the rear of the vehicle. One circuit in particular the rear window defogger is burning wiring and socket and plug of the two wiring harness. Either the wiring or connectors burned apart without the circuit fuse blowing. The circuit has a 40amp fuse. The wiring harness for this circuit is 12 Garage. I can't find any manufacturer who recommends using 12 gauge wire on a 40 Amp circuit. This isn't even close to being correct. This is so agreegessly out of specification it would appear GM knew they had an issue with the circuit and fixed it By over fusing the circuit. This same issue on multiple models over several years.

I am having issues with my engine unintentionally turning off because of my ignition key and I sent it to the shop for recall repair but they said they didn’t have the part and couldn’t find it because it’s not available.

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. The contact stated the transmission became inoperable. The vehicle was taken twice to the local dealer where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be repaired or replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was contacted but no additional assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 118,000. The VIN was not available.

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE LOST OF STEERING HAPPENS THEN COMES BACK. ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENT ESPECIALLY WHILE DRIVING AROUND TURNS.

TRANSMISSION SKIPS GEARS FROM A STOP TO GO ACCELERATION. TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A CHEVROLET ASE CERTIFIED REPAIR FACILITY TO HAVE CHECKED. THE CLUTCH PLATE WAS MELTED ALONG WITH SOME PLANETARY BEARINGS DESTROYED. THE REPAIR BILL CAME TO 1,800.00 $. NOW THE VEHICLE IS SHOWING SIGNS OF A RECURRING SLIPPAGE PROBLEM ONLY AFTER 2 MONTHS SINCE IT WAS REPAIRED AND USED PARTS REPLACED. WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE? MY 2007 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO SS LESS THAN 72,000 MILES ON IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO. WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE KEY REMAINED STUCK IN THE IGNITION SWITCH. ONCE THE KEY WAS REMOVED, THE IGNITON DID NOT CUT OFF.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE OIL LEAKAGE WAS UNDETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V355000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.

WHEN I ATTEMPT TO TURN OFF MY VEHICLE, THE KEY WILL NOT ROTATE TO THE OFF POSITION..THEREFORE, THE KEY IS STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND THE CAR IS STILL ON, DRAINING THE BATTERY. I TOOK THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP IN 2013 AND TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT BUT THEY CHARGED ME $165.00 TO PUT IN A NEW IGNITION. THE PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT UNTIL DECEMBER 2014 AND NOW THE KEY IS PERMANENTLY STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND IF I WANT TO DRIVE MY CAR, I HAVE TO CHARGE THE BATTERY EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. GM JUST RECALLED THE COBALT AND HHR FOR THE SAME ISSUE. WHY NOT EXPAND THE RECALL TO INCLUDE ALL GM PRODUCTS WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR
