FAN WANT COOL THE CAR WHEN STOP AT RED BREAKS WHEN FAST STOPING HAS SLOW GRIP TOO THEM

NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 14V400000 - I SENT A PRIOR COMPLAINT TODAY REGARDING MY 1999 MONTE CARLO AND I APOLOGIZE FOR MISSTATING A FACT.. I SAID IN THE ORIGINAL COMPLAINT THAT MY MONTE CARLO WAS LISTED ON THE RECALL AT THE YEAR 2000. AND THAT IT WAS SIMILAR TO THE LUMINA, I MEANT TO SAY THAT IT IS SIMILAR TO THE 1999 MALIBU, WHICH IS BEING RECALLED BECAUSE OF THE IGNITION SYSTEM. THE RECALL NUMBER IS 14350. AND MY COMPLAINT NUMBER THAT I SENT EARLIER WHICH DESCRIBES IN DETAIL THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING IS 10916644.. *TR

AT 31K INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET AND TRANS PAN GASKET ARE LEAKING ACCORDING TO CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. AUTO HAS THE 3.1 L. ENGINE. DEALERSHIP NOT OVERLY CONCERNED AND THIS APPEARS TO BE NORMAL FOR A MONTE CARLO. INITIALLY THE TRANS PAN GASKET REPAIR WAS CONSIDERED AN OWNER MAINTENANCE RESPONSIBILITY RATHER THAN A COVERED EXTENDED WARRANTY ITEM. AFTER SPEAKING WITH DEALERSHIP AND ADVANTAGE A 2ND TIME, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE REPAIR WAS TO BE COVERED THROUGH THE WARRANTY. IN MY OPINION, CHEVROLET DOESN'T WANT TO STAND BEHIND ITS PRODUCT. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AND WILL DEFINITELY NEVER BUY ANOTHER GM PRODUCT. *JB

CODE 1811 TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 54,000 MILES .*AK

I HAVE OWNED MY 1999 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO LS FOR 2 YEARS NOW. THE SUNROOF GOT OFF TRACK IN 2001 AND IT COSTED ME $85 TO HAVE IT FIXED. IN JUNE OF 2003 IT GOT OFF TRACK AGAIN AND A FRIEND FIXED IT. NOW IN SEPTEMBER OF 2003 THERE IS ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH THE SUNROOF, THE MOTOR THAT OPERATES IT MAKES A LOUD NOISE AND IT WILL NOT OPERATE. MY TURN SIGNALS WILL NOT WORK. I HAVE REPLACED ALL THE FUSES IN THE CAR, I HAVE REPLACED THE BULB TO THE BLINKERS AND THEY STILL DO NOT WORK ALONG WITH THE FLASHERS NOT WORKING. ALSO THE WINDOW SWITCH ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WILL NO LONGER OPERATE THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW, IT WILL ROLL DOWN BUT NO UP (AND THATS NOT A GOOD THING WITH ALL THE RAIN WE HAVE HAD). I HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE BREAKS TWO TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR AND HALF.I HAVE HEARD OF MANY COMPLAINTS OF OTHER OWNERS OF MONTE CARLO'S WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE HAD. EVEN A FEW FROM YOUR WEB SITE. NEEDLESS TO SAY; I AM NOT A SATISFIED CUSTOMER WITH CHEVERLOT! I HOPE CHEVERLOT WILL FIX THIS PROBLEM FOR THE SAKE OF THEIR BUSINESS. *AK

I WAS AT A FRIENDS FOR SEVERAL HOURS PROCEEDING INCIDENT. I DROVE MY 1999 CHEVY MONTE CARLO Z34 ABOUT 1 MILE FROM MY FRIENDS TO TACO BELL. THE CAR HAD BEEN RUNNING GREAT. I WENT INSIDE TO ORDER I WAS IN THEIR 10-15 MINUTES. WHEN I CAME OUT SMOKE WAS COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I OPENED THE HOOD AND THE TOP OF THE ENGINE WAS ON FIRE. TACO BELL EMPLOYEES CALLED 911 AND THEN PROVIDED A FIRE EXTINGUISHER. THE FIRE WAS PUT OUT BY THE EXTINGUISHER AND THEY CANCELLED THE 911 CALL. I CALLED A TOW COMPANY AND HAD THE CAR TOWED HOME DUE TO THE HOUR AND MY ENGINE BEING MELTED. *TR

I WOULD BE DRIVING DOWN A ROAD AND SUDDENLY THE ENGINE WOULD DIE. I WOULD IMMEDEIATELY HAVE NO POWER STEERING NOR POWER BRAKES. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I HAVE NOW STOPPED DRIVING THE CAR. NO CODES WOULD SHOW. MY MECHANIC CANNOT FIND ANYTHING. WHEN I TAKE IT TO HIM, IT DID NOT ACT UP. IT IS INTERMITTENT. SOMETIMES IT WOULD START RIGHT BACK UP. OTHER TIMES IT WOULD TAKE HOURS OR MANY HOURS BEFORE IT WOULD FINALLY RESTART. *TR
