SEAT BELTS
SEAT BELTS, DRIVER SIDE. THE BELT WOULD BE LOCKED TIGHT WHEN I TRIED TO PUT IT ON, IT COULD NOT BE MOVED,, I DROVE TO BOB SCHUCK CHEVROLET IN NEW ULM MN AND TOLD THEM WHAT WAS WRONG AND A MECHANIC CAME OUT AND PULLED REALLY HARD ON IT,, FINALLY IT LOOSENED UP, AT THAT TIME IT WAS NOT IN THE LOOP ON THE HEAD REST, THAT IS THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED, IT WAS THROUGH THE LOOP, I DID THE SAME THE THING THE MECHANIC DID THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED AND THE LOOP BUSTED CLEAN OFF. I TOOK IT TO THE SAME DEALER AND TOLD THEM ABOUT IT AND HE ORDERED A NEW LOOP FOR IT. I FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT THIS IS A DEFECTIVE SEAT BELT. I WROTE THE DEALER TELLING HIM THAT I DON'T FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS DEFECTIVE IN THE FIRST PLACE, AND HE WROTE STATING THAT IF I DIDN'T PAY THE $23.00 THAT HE WOULD PUT A LIEN ON MY CAR. WHAT A FLIPPEN JOKE!!!!!!!!! PLEASE RESPOND. I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM ANYONE THAT HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH ANY GM PRODUCT. MY NEXT CAR WILL BE FOREIGN!!!!!!!ANYONE CAN EMAIL ME PERTAING TO GM PRODUCTS AT [email protected].*AK

BRAKE PADS NEED TO BE REPLACED EVERY 3 TO 6 MONTHS. ROTORS WERE CUT AND THEN NEW ROTORS REPLACED. I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA NOT BUMPER-TO-BUMPER, CITY TRAFFIC. I ALSO DO NOT RIDE MY BRAKES. THERE SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR DEFECT IN THE MONTE CARLO BRAKE SYSTEM. I JUST HAD TO HAVE A NEW ALTERNATOR REPLACED ON MY 1999 MONTE CARLO. I AM VERY UNSATISFIED AND WILL DEFINITELY NOT BUY ANOTHER GM PRODUCT. *JB

EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL, VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
I HAVE A 1999 MONTE CARLO THAT WAS PURCHASED IN MID 1999. EVER SINCE I PURCHASED IT AND IT RAINS, THE WIPERS FREEZE IN THE MIDDLE OF MY WINDSHIELD. THIS MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE WHEN IT REALLY RAINS OR EVEN NIGHT TIME RAINY WEATHER. OVER THE PAST YEAR OR SO, NOW IT EVEN DOES IT WHEN IT SNOWED OUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED WELL OVER 10 TIMES IN THE PAST 4 YEARS THAT I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO SEVERAL CHEVY DEALERSHIPS AND THEY ALL SAY THE SAME THING "NOTHING SEEMS TO BE WRONG HERE. JUST KEEP AN EYE ON IT AND LET US KNOW IF WE CAN HELP YOU WITH ANYTHING ELSE..." I FEEL THAT THEY JUST DON'T WANT TO LOOK AT MY CAR, SEEING THAT I AM FEMALE. I GET THIS IMPRESSION BECAUSE THEY ONLY TOOK ABOUT 5 MINUTES TO LOOK AT IT AND CAME TO THAT CONCLUSION. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT I CAN DO, SEEING NOW THAT MY CAR IS WAY OUT OF WARRANTY. *AK

VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY
THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THIS SUNROOF WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE TRACK IS BROKEN AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T REPAIR IT AGAIN BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. CHEVROLET REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM WITH THE SUNROOF. THE GUY THAT OWNS THE PLACE WHERE I AM HAVING IT REPAIRED SAYS HE HAS REPLACED HUNDREDS OF THEM ON THE MONTE CARLO. CHEVROLET USED A PLASTIC TRACK INSTEAD OF A METAL TRACK AND THAT IS WHY THEY BREAK. IT IS A MINIMUM OF A $1300 CHARGE TO REPLACE THIS SUNROOF. CHEVROLET COULD HAVE USED AN ALUMINUM TRACK AND HAVE AVOIDED THIS FINANCIAL DRAIN ON THE CONSUMER. *TT

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:GAS RECIRCULATION VALVE (EGR VALVE)
MY 1995 MONTE CARLO WITH THE 3100 V6 HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS SINCE WE BOUGHT IT. WE HAVE REPLACED THE EGR VALVE TWICE IN A YEAR, THE WATER PUMP, THE THERMOSTAT, THE RADIATOR, THE RADIATOR CAP, AND IT STILL OVER HEATS TO THE POINT THAT THE CAR SHUTS DOWN AND THE HOT LIGHT COMES ON IN THE CAR. I AM AT MY WITS END AND I HAVE PAID SO MUCH MONEY TO GET THIS FIGURED OUT AND NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHY. I HAVE HAD IT TESTED FOR A HEAD GASKET LEAK AND IT SHOWS NOTHING. THERE IS AIR GETTING INTO THE SYSTEM FROM SOMEWHERE BECAUSE IT CAN BE BLED OFF. I REALLY LIKE THE WAY THIS CAR DRIVES AND I DO NOT WANT TO GET RID OF IT. I JUST WANT IT TO BE FIXED AND I HAVE HAD 7 DIFFERENT MECHANICS TO WORK ON IT AND THEY ARE STUMPED! *JB
