2006 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Tires & wheels Problems
Owner-reported complaints naming the tire or wheel system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Tires & wheels reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

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

MY VEHICLE'S TPM SYSTEM WAS NOT RESET CORRECTLY AFTER TIRE ROTATION AND GAVE A FALSE READING TO THE TIRE BEING LOW, WHEN IN FACT IT WASN'T READING THE RIGHT TIRES PRESSURE. AFTER USING MANUAL TIRE PRESSURE GAUGE, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE TIRE I WAS INFLATING WAS OVER 65PSI 2006 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO SS.*TR

TIRE MONITOR SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK. DEALER AND CHEVROLET BOTH SAY THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND NO FIX IS AVAILABLE. BOTH MADE IT SOUND LIKE A VERY RECENT PROBLEM BUT AFTER SOME RESEARCH OF MY OWN INCLUDING YOUR SITE, I HAVE FOUND CONSUMERS HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING OF THIS DEFECT FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW. ARE WE TO JUST TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE A INFERIOR VEHICLE, LACKING IN MY CASE ANYWAY, A FEATURE THAT WAS A MAJOR PART OF MY DECISION TO PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE? I DON'T KNOW AND APPARENTLY CHEVROLET DOESN'T EITHER. SHAME ON CHEVROLET. HOW CAN THEY CLAIM 100% SATISFACTION WHEN THEY WONT EVEN TELL US WHEN A FIX MAY BE EVOLVING? JUST SMOKE AND MIRRORS. *JB

TIRE MONITOR SYSTEM FAILED FROM DAY ONE. IT HAS NOW BEEN 5 MONTHS WITH NO FIX AVAILABLE. AFFECTS THE REMOTE LOCKS AND STARTER AS WELL. NEED TO BE WITHIN 10 FEET OF CAR FOR IT TO WORK. HAVE HAD IT IN 3 TIMES AND THEY STATE THEY ARE WAITING FOR A FIX AND BULLETIN. HELP CORRECT THIS SOMEONE. THE DEALER IS GETTING NO HELP FROM CHEVROLET AT ALL. BAD PRACTICE. I HAVE OWN CHEVROLET FOR 25 YEARS WITH NOT HAVING THIS MUCH TROUBLE FIXING AN ISSUE. MY DEALER IS ALWAYS GREAT IT IS ON THE OTHER END THEY NEED HELP.*JB

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
