WE BOUGHT THE 2000 CHEVY MONTE CARLO SS VIN [XXX] BACK IN JUNE 2019 WE HAVE DONE SOME REGULAR REPAIRS ON IT WHEN WE FIRST GOT IT AND EVERYTHING WORKED GREAT! STARTED EVERY SINGLE TIME. 02/18/2020 WE WENT TO START IT AND IT WAS ACTING LIKE THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. WENT AND CHECK THE BATTERY VOLT READ AND IT WAS READING AT 8 SO I HOOKED UP JUMPER CABLE TO IT AND LET IT SIT FOR A COUPLE MINUTES. GOT IN A TURNED THE KEY OVER TO START IT. THE WHOLE PLASTIC INTAKE BLEW UP AND PIECES WENT EVERYWHERE. THEN CAUGHT FIRE. IT WAS SO BAD VERY SCARY. THE DAMAGE WAS LITTLE COMPARED OF WHAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN IF THE HOOD WAS CLOSED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. THE CAR IS IN GREAT CONDITION. HOWEVER, FOR A VEHICLE WITH LOW MILES, THESE PROBLEMS SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE. ABS BRAKING SYSTEM PROBLEMS; SUSPENSION PROBLEMS; NOISE IN THE TIRES. ABS LIGHT COMES ON AND ABS PUMP IS MAKING A HUMMING SOUND; SUSPENSION, I HAVE POPPING SOUNDS WHEN TURNING AT SLOW SPEEDS; LOUD HUMMING SOUND COMING FROM REAR TIRES (I HAVE READ ABOUT THE CALIPER ISSUES WITH THIS MODEL VEHICLE) I HAVE YET TO TAKE AND ADDRESS THE CALIPER PROBLEM BUT, MY GUESS IS THAT THE BRAKE CALIPERS WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. IF THESE PROBLEMS ARE HAPPENING TO MORE AND MORE OF THESE CARS, WHY HAS GM NOT RECALLED AND FIXED SOME OF THESE PROBLEMS. MAINLY, THE BRAKE PROBLEMS. THIS A POTENTIAL LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR; I AM WORRIED THAT THE BREAKS WILL FAIL, AND I WILL CRASH THE CAR. THIS SADDENS ME THAT GM, THE MONSTROUS CAR MANUFACTURER, HAS NOT FIXED THIS PROBLEM THAT THEY SURE KNOW OF. I WILL NOT BE BUYING ANOTHER GM MODEL, AND "I WILL" LET OTHERS KNOW ALL THE PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD WITH GM MODEL CARS; THIS IS NOT MY FIRST GM BUT, "WILL BE" MY LAST. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH OVER A BUMP, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD BANGING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO STATED THE REAR STRUT TOWER WAS COMPLETELY COVERED WITH RUST AND BEYOND REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THERE WAS NO RECALL PERTAINING TO THE DEFECT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 190,000.

JUST PURCHASED THE CAR, DROVE HIM WITH NO PROBLEMS, WENT FOR ANOTHER DRIVE RIGHT AFTER THE BLINKERS INSIDE NOR OUTSIDE THE CAR WOULD WORK, THEY AT TIMES WOULD WORK AFTER THIS THEN JUST NOT WORK AGAIN, AFTER DOING RESEARCH ABOUT THIS PROBLEM I LEARNED THE HAZZARD SWITCH WAS THE PROBLEM AND MAKING THE BLINKERS NOT WORK AT TIMES, I ROACH THE HAZZARD SWITCH NOW THE BLINKERS ARE JUST FINE.

FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS WHEN I TURN ON MY TURN SIGNALS AND LEAVE ON WHILE WAITING AT A RED LIGHT THEY WILL QUIT WORKING ALL TOGETHER. I HAVE LEARNED TO TURN THEM ON AND SHOW WHAT I AM GOING TO DO THEN TURN THEM OFF UNTIL THE LIGHT CHANGES AND TURN THEM ON AGAIN TO SHOW WHICH WAY I AM TURNING. AFTER I HAVE STOPPED AND RESTARTED THE CAR THEY START WORKING AGAIN. IT IS DANGEROUS IF YOU FORGET TO DO THE PROCESS I MENTIONED ABOVE BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SIGNAL TO CHANGE LANES OR ANYTHING IF YOU ARE IN THE WRONG LANE AND NEED TO GET OVER AND STOP AND RESTART THE CAR. *TR

OUR 2000 MONTE CARLO SUPERSPORT WAS PARKED AND HAD BEEN OFF FOR APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES. BEFORE THAT, IT HAD BEEN DRIVEN FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES AND PARKED FOR ABOUT AN HOUR. SOMEONE CAME IN TO TELL ME IT WAS SMOKING. THERE WAS A GREAT DEAL OF SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. WE CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND BEFORE THEY COULD ARRIVE, THE CAR WAS ENGULFED.

I HAVE A 2000 CHEVY MONTE CARLO WITH 56,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE. HAVE HAD ALOT OF REPAIRS ON IT. NOW IT HAS A POPPING NOISE IN THE STEERING COLUMN, AND LOUD FRONT END NOISE. I WAS TOLD THE STEERING COLUMN PROBLEM HAD A RECALL ON IT,BECAUSE ONE OF MY FRIENDS CHEVY IMPALA HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEIRS WAS FIXED UNDER RECALL. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET, THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL ON MY MONTE CARLO. SEEMS IF THRE IS A DEFECTIVE PART ON THIS MODEL, GM SHOULD REPLACE IT WITH NO CHARGE .ALSO, THE FRONTEND HAS HAD A VERY LOUD ROAR IN IT SINCE WE PURCHASED IT USED WITH 12,000 MILES ON IT. WE REPLACED THE TIRES,WHICH DID NOT HELP, AND I WAS TOLD THE FRONT HUBS HAD DEFECTIVE BEARINGS WHICH DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH GREASE AND COULD NOT BE GREASED. MY FRIEND REPLACED THE FRONT HUBS ON THEIR CHEVY IMPALA WITH IMPROVED HUBS AND CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR,INCLUDING THE ELECTRIC WINDOWS REPAIRED FOUR TIMES,STARTER, ALTENATOR, TURN SIGNALS AND HAZARD FLASHERS, PAINT, THE CAR IS SUPPOSED TO BE BLACK, INSTEAD IT'S BLACK AND WHITE POLKA DOT. I BELIEVE THIS CAR SHOULD BE DECLARED A LEMON UNDER THE LEMON LAW. I HAVE PUT WAY TO MUCH MONEY INTO THIS CAR WITH JUST 56,000 MILES ON IT. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR HELP ON MY PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR, AS I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE FRONT HUBS AND THE PROBLEM IN THE STEERING COLUMN. I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP SPENDING MONEY ON THIS CAR, I JUST KEEP THROWING GOOD MONEY AFTER BAD.I THINK GM SHOULD REPAIR THESE PROBLEMS AT NO CHARGE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2000 MONTE CARLO SS NEW IN SEPT OF 2000, I HAVE 60,000 MILES ON IT. THE 4TH GEAR IS OUT OF IT AND I HAVE TO HAVE A NEW TRANSMISSION PUT IN IT WHICH IS GOING TO COST ME BETWEEN 1,300.00-1,600.00 TO REPLACE AND THEY HAVE TO ADD A ADD ON KIT, IF THEY HAVE TO ADD A ADD ON KIT WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?

I HAVE A 2000 MONTE CARLO THAT I HAVE HAD FOR ONLY ABOUT A YEAR. I GOT THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED WITH A REMANUFACTURED ONE ABOUT A MONTH AGO. WHEN I GOT MY CAR BACK FROM COLEMAN TAYLOR THE ENGINE WAS MESSED UP. THE ENGINE NOW MAKES NOISE WHEN I CRANK IT AND IT SMOKES, SO I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. THE MANAGER AT COLEMAN TAYLOR INSISTS THAT HE DID NOT DAMAGE THE ENGINE AND DOES NOT KNOW WHY IT SUDDENLY HAS THESE PROBLEMS. I GOT THE CAR TOWED TO SUNRISE PONTIAC GMC FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT I GET THE MOTOR REPLACED. THE SPECIALISTS COULD NOT DETERMINE HOW THE DAMAGE WAS CAUSED. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR NOW DUE TO THE NOISE AND SMOKE FROM THE ENGINE. *TR

AFTER I CONTACTED THE DEALER, THE APPOINTMENT WAS MADE TO REPAIR ALL RECALL ISSUES. RECEIVED NOTIFICATION THAT ALL PARTS WERE AT THE DEALERSHIP.

ONE RECALL ISSUE WAS RESOLVED, RESULTING IN ANOTHER APPOINTMENT TO BE MADE WHEN OTHER PARTS ARRIVED. NO PRECAUTIONS WERE MADE TO ENSURE VEHICLE PROTECTED AGAINST SERVICE DEPARTMENT INJURY TO VEHICLE, IE, NO PAPER MATS PLACED IN CAR, DIRT INSIDE CAR, AND KEYS LEFT IN THE VEHICLE ON THE DEALER LOT. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED IN A PRISTINE CONDITION, (51,000 ACTUAL MILES). HAS NEVER BEEN DRIVEN ON SALT OR UNDER ANY BAD WEATHER CONDITIONS. THE DEALER EVEN COMMENTED THAT THE VEHICLE APPEARED TO BE BRAND NEW. I WOULD WELCOME A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION SURVEY FOR THIS DEALERSHIP. *TR

SEAT BELTS, DRIVER SIDE. THE BELT WOULD BE LOCKED TIGHT WHEN I TRIED TO PUT IT ON, IT COULD NOT BE MOVED,, I DROVE TO BOB SCHUCK CHEVROLET IN NEW ULM MN AND TOLD THEM WHAT WAS WRONG AND A MECHANIC CAME OUT AND PULLED REALLY HARD ON IT,, FINALLY IT LOOSENED UP, AT THAT TIME IT WAS NOT IN THE LOOP ON THE HEAD REST, THAT IS THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED, IT WAS THROUGH THE LOOP, I DID THE SAME THE THING THE MECHANIC DID THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED AND THE LOOP BUSTED CLEAN OFF. I TOOK IT TO THE SAME DEALER AND TOLD THEM ABOUT IT AND HE ORDERED A NEW LOOP FOR IT. I FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT THIS IS A DEFECTIVE SEAT BELT. I WROTE THE DEALER TELLING HIM THAT I DON'T FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS DEFECTIVE IN THE FIRST PLACE, AND HE WROTE STATING THAT IF I DIDN'T PAY THE $23.00 THAT HE WOULD PUT A LIEN ON MY CAR. WHAT A FLIPPEN JOKE!!!!!!!!! PLEASE RESPOND. I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM ANYONE THAT HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH ANY GM PRODUCT. MY NEXT CAR WILL BE FOREIGN!!!!!!!ANYONE CAN EMAIL ME PERTAING TO GM PRODUCTS AT [email protected].*AK
