2006 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Problems

These issues have been spotadic since I aquired the vehicle in october of 2021. Not infrequently the ABS system feels like it is trying to engage at low speeds with light braking such as in a parking lot. This also happens after coasting(no gas, no brake no cruise control))and then accelerating The radio will randomly stop playing or begin playing. The turn signal indicator chimes randomly stop chiming when the turn signal is in use though the interioir indicator light will flash normally. I have not been able to stop when this occurs with the turn signal still active to get out and verify it the turn signal is actually working At random times a loud clacking sound will come from behind the dash in the general vicinity of the radio and there will be no out put from the dash vents until the clacking stops. The use of any controls whether radio or climate does not seem to cause this nor will it stop it. Actuator doorb and/or solenoid perhaps?

TRANSMISSON WILL SHIFT HARD SOMETIMES FROM COMPLETE STOP OR WHILE TRAVELING , MAINLY FROM COMPLETE STOP OR STOPPING AT STOP LIGHT AND NOT A COMPLETE STOP . ITS LIKE IT IS SLIPPING. NOW AIR BAG LIGHT IS COMING SOMETIMES WHEN CAR IS 1ST CRANK. DASH IS ALSO COMING APART. CAR HAS 118,000 MILES ON IT. TRASMISSION IS WORRING ME THE MOST.

TWO MONITORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND AIR LEAKS HAS GOTTEN WORST. *TR

I OWN A 2006 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO, THE TIRE PRESSURE LOW SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS WITHOUT ANY NOTICE, IF MY CAR WERE A IMPALA GM WOULD FIX IT BUT SINCE IT IS A DISCONTINUED MODEL THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING. THERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF DISCUSSION ON THE NET ABOUT THIS ISSUE ALONG WITH REMOTE START/ LOCK PROBLEM FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND THAT IS A PROBLEM THEY DO NOT HONOR. *TR

TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND GRINDS AT RANDOM. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 CHEVY MONTE CARLO SS WITH THE LS4 V8 ENGINE COUPLED TO THE 4T65HD TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION AI STARTING TO ACT UP, MISSING SHIFTS AND SLIPPING EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING. MY CAR ONLY HAS 45000 MILES ON IT AND IT HAS NOT BEEN ABUSED. *TR

LOOKS LIKE GM HAS HAD AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH CLEAR COATING PEELING OFF THE WHEELS THEY USE ON THEIR CARS, MY MONTE CARLO HAS 10,000 MILES ON IT AND THE WHEELS LOOK LIKE THEY HAVE BEEN SITTING AT THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN SINCE 2006 THIS MIGHT NOT BE A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT IT IS A APPEARANCE ISSUE AND THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD HAVE THIS ISSUE FIXED

WHILE DRIVING MY 20065 CHEVY MONTE CARLO THE OTHER DAY AT HIGH WAY SPEED MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON THE CAR DID A HARD JERK CAUSING ME TO JERK BACK BREAKING DRIVERS SEAT HAD TO TIE DOWN WITH ROPE TO GET IT HOME..AND THE ENGINE HAS LOST ITS POWER...WHAT IS GM DOING ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE....AND WILL GM FIX THIS BEFORE SOME ONE GETS KILLED. *TR

REAR DEFOGGER QUIT WORKING. FUSES ALL CHECKED TO BE GOOD. THE WIRE HARNESS BY THE INTERIOR FUSE BOX HAD A BURNED CONTACT. THE PLASTIC WAS CHARRED AND MELTED. THE CONTACTS FOR THE DEFOGGER DAMAGED. LUCKILY, THIS DID NOT RESULT IN A FIRE, THOUGH LOOKING AT THE DAMAGE, IT WAS ENTIRELY POSSIBLE. I HAVE PICTURES IF NEEDED. REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE TO ALLOW FOR VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. *TR

I WOULD LIKE TO RAISE CONCERN FOR A REAR DEFROSTER FAILURE ON 06+ MONTE CARLO'S AS WELL AS IMPALA'S. THERE IS A FAULTY CONNECTOR IN THE IN LINE FUSE BOX CAUSING A MAJOR FIRE HAZARD. I HAVE SEEN MANY PEOPLE RAISE THIS ISSUE AS A VERY DANGEROUS FIRE HAZARD ONLINE, WONDERING WHY THEY SEE RECALLS FOR REAR DEFROSTER ISSUES WITHOUT A FIRE HAZARD YET NOTHING FOR THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE. IT CAUSES MAJOR BURNING ON THE WIRE AND PLASTIC FUSE BOX. THE CONCERN WOULD BE WHEN WE LOSE A LIFE IN A CAR FIRE SIMPLY BECAUSE OF THEIR NEGLIGENCE ON THIS ISSUE. I HOPE IT DOESN'T TAKE THE LOSS OF A LIFE OR WORSE LIFE OF A CHILD TO MAKE THEM GET IN GEAR WITH THIS. *TR

ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT FLASHES WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. IT LOSES POWER AND GAUGES DROP AS IF THE CAR SHUT DOWN. WILL DO THIS GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. *TR

THE CARD WILL DART TO THE LEFT INTO THE OTHER LANE )ALSO A VERY LOUD WIND NOISE COMING FROM THE WINDSHIELD AREA,MY DEALERSHIP DROVE MY CAR AND SAID YES YOUR CAR HAVE A MOVEMENT IN THE FRONT END,AND A WIND NOISE COMING FROM THE WINDSHIELD, THEY HAD ME TO TEST DRIVE ANOTHER MONTE CARLO AND IT DID THE SAME AS MY CAR DID, SO MY DEALERSHIP SAID YOU DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR, SINCE THE TWO CARS HAVE THE SAME THING, ITS NORMAL FOR THIS CAR TO DO THIS. YOU HAVE NO PROBLEM. MY DEALERSHIP NEVER EVEN LOOKED AT MY CAR,NEVER RAISED THE HOOD,I TOOK MY CAR TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP, THEY TEST DROVE MY CAR AND STATED YOU HAVE WIND NOISE COMING FROM BOTH DOORS, THE WINDSHIELD, THE BUMPER IS LOOSE, THE GRILL IS LOOSE, THE WIPER BLADES ARE MOUNTED TOO HI, I TOLD MY DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS AND THEY SAID, I KNOW THEM THEY CAN'T FIND THERE WAY OUT OF THE RAIN WITH OUT HELP. I TOOK MY CAR TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP, THEY HELP A LOT FIXED SOME THINGS WRONG, BUT COULD NOT FIX THE WIND NOISE, OR FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE FRONT END,MY CAR HAS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE FRONT END SHIFTING OR FLOATING FROM SIDE TO SIDE, I CAN NOT GET A GM PERSON TO LOOK AT MY CAR,OR ANY HELP BECAUSE MY DEALERSHIP KEEPS SAYING I DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM. SINCE 2 CARS DO THE SAME THING. I NEED HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM. *NM

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE INTAKE MANIFOLD EVAPORATOR VENT WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED AND THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WHICH LOCATED THE FAILURE IN THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 51,029. ..UPDATED 09-21-12*BF UPDATED 09/25/12

FOR THE COURSE OF A 3 MONTH PERIOD MY VEHICLE KEPT GIVING OFF CODES. AFTER SEVERAL CODES OF MISFIRING IT TOOK MY MECHANIC QUITE SOME TIME TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. HE JUST COULDN'T PUT A FINGER ON IT AND COULD ONLY FIND THAT ONE SPARK PLUG WAS GUNKY. HE CLEANED IT AND REPLACED IT TO SEE IF THAT WOULD HELP THE ISSUE. IT DID FOR ABOUT ONE MONTH THEN MY VEHICLE BEGAN GIVING OFF LOTS OF DIFFERENT CODES. AFTER IT CODED FOR THE 5TH OR 6TH TIME IT WAS FINALLY REALIZED THAT MY CAR WAS CODING DUE TO THE GAS AND OIL NOT DOING WHAT THEY WERE SUPPOSE TO BE DOING AND IT WAS CAUSING GUNKY BUILDUP UNDER THE ENGINE. WHAT ENDED UP HAPPENING IS THAT I HAD TO DO A MAJOR TUNE UP BECAUSE ALL THE SPARK PLUGS WERE GUNKY AND BURNED UP AS WELL AS THE WIRING AND ALSO HAD TO CLEAN THE FUEL LINES. FOR A CAR THAT ONLY HAD ABOUT 39,000 THIS SHOULD NOT NORMALLY BE REQUIRED AT THIS POINT! IN ADDITION I ONLY USE 93 OCTANE GAS WHICH IS REQUIRED OF MY CAR AND I TAKE MY CAR IN EVERY 3 MONTHS FOR A CHECKUP AND OIL CHANGE. I ALSO USE ONLY THE BEST OIL IN MY VEHICLE: MOBIL 1 FULLY SYNETHIC OIL (NO BLEND). I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY BECAUSE IT'S CONSIDERED A COMPLETE TUNE-UP. HOWEVER, IT IS OBVIOUS SOMETHING WAS NOT RUNNING RIGHT IN CONVERTING THE GAS 'N OIL UNDER THE ENGINE TO EFFECTIVELY DO THEIR JOB. A VEHICLE KEPT THIS WELL SHOULD NOT HAVE TO HAVE A FULL TUNE-UP REQUIRING ALL WIRING HARNESSES TO BE REPLACED WITH A VEHICLE OF SUCH LOW MILEAGE. THIS WAS A REPAIR THAT COST ME $660. THERE WAS SOME OBVIOUS MECHANICAL ISSUES HERE THAT ARE NORMALLY SEEN IN A VEHICLE THIS NEW. THIS IS SOMETHING YOU FIND IN A VEHICLE CLOSER TO THE 75 - 100,000 MILE MARK AND ALSO WITH ONE PERHAPS THAT DOESN'T USE THE BEST OF GAS, OIL AND MAYBE DOESN'T KEEP UP SO WELL WITH MAINTENANCE. I'M METICULOUS IN MY MAINTENANCE AND CARE AND I FEEL THERE WAS SOME DEFECTIVE ISSUES GOING ON THAT CAUSED MY PROBLEM. I HAVE ALL MECHANIC DOCUMENTATION TO ASSIST IN MY COMPLAINT. *TR
