ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER NO LONGER WORKED. THE REASON BEING THAT THE REAR DEFROSTER WIRING HAD BURNED AT THE CONNECTOR BLOCK. CONNECTOR BLOCK IS LOCATED BEHIND THE PASSENGERS SIDE KICK PANEL. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A FIRE TO THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. THERE ARE VIDEOS ON THE INTERNET SHOWING HOW TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM SO IT MUST HAPPEN FREQUENTLY! YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE BURN OCCURED IN THE ATTACHED PHOTO. I REPAIRED THIS ON 3/9/2018, HOWEVER, IT HAPPENED AT LEAST TWO YEARS AGO.

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.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH IS FAULTY. MY BLINKERS NEVER WORK RIGHT. SOMETIMES I HAVE RIGHT AND NO LEFT TURN SIGNAL AND MANY TIMES THE HAZARD LIGHTS TURN ON WHEN I USE TURN SIGNAL. THE TURN SIGNAL SOUND OF CLICKING NEVER STOPS, CONSTANT CLICKING THAT OFTEN STARTS BUZZING. QUITE OFTEN MY TURN SIGNALS DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY AND I HAVE NO WAY TO ALERT OTHER DRIVERS THAT I AM SWITCHING LANES. IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHEVROLET AND GMC AND EXPENSIVE TO CORRECT.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ABOUT OCTOBER 10TH, 2017 I WAS COMING UP ON A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES, THE PEDAL WOULD NOT GO DOWN. I WAS GOING ABOUT 45 MPH BY THE GRACE OF GOD I WAS ABLE TO BLAST THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AND MISS EVERYONE, EVERYTHING!. RATTLED I GUESS I SHUT THE CAR OFF WHEN I REGAINED MY COMPOSER I STARTED THE CAR AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I DID NOT WANT TO BELIEVE THIS HAPPENED! I THOUGHT I DID SOMETHING WRONG MAYBE HAD MY FOOT UNDER THE BRAKE PEDAL OR SOMETHING. HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE CAR SINCE 2 WEEKS AGO WAS STRANDED IN A PARKING LOT, WOULD NOT START. HAD THE CAR TOWED HOME, TRIED TO START IT AND STARTED RIGHT UP. NOW SERVICE TRACK LIGHT IS ON AND ANTI LOCK BRAKES IS ON AND SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON SOMETIME AND THE CRUISE LIGHT IS ON. YESTERDAY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND SAME THING NO BRAKES, YOU COULD NOT PUSH THE PEDAL DOWN IT IS AS IF THERE IS SOMETHING UNDER THE PEDAL IT'S THAT SOLID. MY CONCERN FOR MY OWN SAFETY AS WELL AS OTHER MONTE CARLO OWNERS IS MOST IMPORTANT. IF EITHER TIME WE WOULD HAVE BEEN ON A EXPRESSWAY WHERE WE COULD NOT TURN TO A SHOULDER THIS WOULD BE CATASTROPHIC . CALLED THE SERVICE MANAGER WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED, ALSO HARBOR CHEVY IN MICHIGAN CITY, IN AND GATES CHEVY IN SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, ALL SAID THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE. GOT ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND SIMILAR POSTS IN CAR COMPLAINTS WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM, SEEMS ODD GM DOES NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. FOR EVERY ONES OWN SAFETY THIS SHOULD BE A REDUNDANT SYSTEM IN OLDER CARS YOU WOULD NOT LOSE ALL BRAKES. COULD UNDERSTAND IF YOU LOST ANTI LOCK PART BUT STILL COULD STOP. THIS HAS TO BE A OVERLOOKED FLAW IN DESIGN AND GM SHOULD BE MADE TO CORRECT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. IF SOMEONES BEEN KILLED BY THIS HOW COULD THEY TELL YOU THAT HE LOST HIS BRAKES? THANK YOU MIKE

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN I GET IN THE CAR AT TIMES AND POUT KEY IN IGNITION, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS DEAD. I HAVE TO DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE ON THE BATTERY FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES TO GET IT TO WORK AGAIN. I ALSO EXPERIENCE FLASHING DOME LIGHT, BRAKE LIGHT ON, IGNITION BELL RINGING WITH NOTHING IN IT, ALSO INDICATORS ON DASH PANEL, SECURITY, BATTERY, DOOR OPEN, LOW FUEL, CHANGE OIL SOON, AND THEY WILL NOT STOP SHOWING UNTIL I DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AGAIN AND SET SYSTEM. I PUT A COMPETE NEW IGNITION IN IT, BOTH THE KEY PART AND THE IGNITION BLOCK AND I STILL HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD BY CHEVROLET DEALER THAT THERE IS NO WAY TO BYPASS THE SECURITY IN THIS CAR BECAUSE THERE IS A CHIP IN THE STARTER THAT PREVENTS THIS. WHEN I GET OUT OF THE CAR AND PRESS THE LOCK ON THE KEY FOB REMOTE, THE HORN BLOWS AS AN INDICATOR THAT THE CAR IS LOCKED, BUT I CAN WALK OVER AND OPEN THE DOORS EVERY TIME. THE LOCK SYSTEM FOR THE DOORS IS NOT WORKING ELECTRICALLY EITHER. I AM AT ODDS AS TO WHAT TO DO WITH THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE BEFORE I SPEND MONEY TO FIX IT, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING IT FIRST. ALL THE DEALERS WANT AT LEAST $119.00 JUST TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. AND, I FEEL THAT IF THEY WANT MY SERVICE THEY COULD GIVE ME A BREAK AND THEN FIX MY PROBLEM. THAT WOULD BRING E BACK AGAIN AND AGAIN. IF YOU CAN, PLEASE HELP ME HERE. THE CHEVY DEALER SAID GM DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A FIX FOR THIS ISSUE EACH AND EVERY TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND NOT RUNNING INITIALLY. INGERSOL CHEVROLET SAYS THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THE IGNITION SYSTEM FOR MY 2003 MONTE CARLO SS 3800, 3.8 VEHICLE.
