UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
REOCURRING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN EVEN 100 MILES THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF BECAUSE IT WONT PASS INSPECTION. THE EMISSION SYSTEM HAS GONE OUT. SINCE WE'VE HAD THE CAR WE'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE IGNITION SYSTEM AND THE WINDOWS KEPT GOING OFF TRACK. AS OF NOW THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW WILL NOT GO UP. I CANT AFFORD TO GET IT FIXED SINCE I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH "CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE" AND I'M ON PERMANENT DISABILITY THROUGH SOCIAL SECURITY.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WE BOUGHT THIS CAR IN JULY 2003, MY WIFE IS THE MAIN DRIVER AND WHEN SHE FIRST DROVE THE CAR HER FOOT SLIPPED UNDERNEATH THE BRAKE PEDAL AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL IN THE 2003 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO IS 1" HIGHER OFF THE FLOOR THAN OTHER CARS AND TRUCKS MADE BY GM'S HER FOOT HAS SLIPPED UNDER IT AGAIN AND NOW SHE IS AFRAID OF DRIVING IT IN FEAR OF NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP THE CAR WHEN IT IS REALLY NEEDED. THE BRAKE PEDAL IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED IT IS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT AND CAN CAUSE AN AUTO ACCIDENT OR EVEN HITTING SOMEONE AND HURTING OR KILLING THEM AS A PEDESTRIAN.

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL:FLASHER UNIT, VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY
I HAVE OWNED MY 1999 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO LS FOR 2 YEARS NOW. THE SUNROOF GOT OFF TRACK IN 2001 AND IT COSTED ME $85 TO HAVE IT FIXED. IN JUNE OF 2003 IT GOT OFF TRACK AGAIN AND A FRIEND FIXED IT. NOW IN SEPTEMBER OF 2003 THERE IS ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH THE SUNROOF, THE MOTOR THAT OPERATES IT MAKES A LOUD NOISE AND IT WILL NOT OPERATE. MY TURN SIGNALS WILL NOT WORK. I HAVE REPLACED ALL THE FUSES IN THE CAR, I HAVE REPLACED THE BULB TO THE BLINKERS AND THEY STILL DO NOT WORK ALONG WITH THE FLASHERS NOT WORKING. ALSO THE WINDOW SWITCH ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WILL NO LONGER OPERATE THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW, IT WILL ROLL DOWN BUT NO UP (AND THATS NOT A GOOD THING WITH ALL THE RAIN WE HAVE HAD). I HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE BREAKS TWO TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR AND HALF.I HAVE HEARD OF MANY COMPLAINTS OF OTHER OWNERS OF MONTE CARLO'S WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE HAD. EVEN A FEW FROM YOUR WEB SITE. NEEDLESS TO SAY; I AM NOT A SATISFIED CUSTOMER WITH CHEVERLOT! I HOPE CHEVERLOT WILL FIX THIS PROBLEM FOR THE SAKE OF THEIR BUSINESS. *AK

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL:SWITCH
MY 1999 CHEVROLET MONTY CARLO Z34 HAS PROOBLEM WITH THE BLINKERS. THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON WHY I SHOULD HAVE TO HOLD DOWN THE BLINKER LEVER PARTIALLY TO MAKE THE BLINKERS WORK. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY THE MANUFACTURER. A DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THEY GET A LOT OF THESE SWITCHES AND I REFUSED TO PAY 4-5 HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR A BLINKER SWITCH WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE.*AK
