ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
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.

POWER TRAIN
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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
