VISIBILITY/WIPER
DRIVING 20 MPH, ON A FLAT SURFACE, NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, MY REAR WINDOW SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED. I STOPPED THE TRUCK TO GET OUT AND LOOK AT IT, AND CANT FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED. TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALER AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED, WITH NO LUCK. WENT TO SAFELITE AND THEY SAID THEY GET ALOT OF SIMILAR VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUE. NOTHING HIT THE WINDOW, NOTHING TOUCHED THE WINDOW AND THERE WAS NO PREVIOUS DAMAGE TO THE WINDOW. JUST BLEW OUTWARD ON ITS OWN.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
REMOTE STARTED MY VEHICLE AND AFTER ABOUT 8 MINUTES INSERTED IGNITION KEY AND BEGAN DRIVING AT LESS THAN 10 TO 12 MPH. WITHIN 2 TO 3 MINUTES BEGAN TO NOTICE SPARKS AND SMOKE FROM THE BACK SEAT AREA AND IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER WITH CAR STILL RUNNING. UPON INSPECTION FOUND WINDOW DEFROSTER SPARKING AND EMITTING SMOKE. FRONT PASSENGER TURNED OFF REAR DEFROSTER AND FIRE / SMOKE / SPARKING STOPPED. DEFROSTER WAS ON BECAUSE VEHICLE HAD REMOTE STARTED AND NOT BY OPERATOR ACTION. I'M EFFORT TO GET SMOKE OUT - BRIEFLY OPENED REAR SLIDER AND UPON CLOSING A COUPLE SECONDS LATER REAR PASSENGER TEMPERED DEFROST GLASS CRACKED. EXPERIENCED FIRE, SMOKE AS WELL AS A BROKEN REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW AS DESCRIBED BY THE CANADIAN RECALL AUTHORITY UNDER N192220470. THIS CANADIAN RECALL ONLY AFFECTS TRUCKS THAT ARE PHYSICALLY LOCATED IN CANADA AND ISN'T COVERED BY VIN. APPARENTLY, THERE HAS NOT BEEN AN EQUIVALENT RECALL FOR THIS REAR DEFROSTER ISSUE MADE IN THE U.S. THE RECALL NUMBER IS

ENGINE
AFM ACTIVATED ,LIFTER FAILURE OCCURRED. ENGINE CEL BLINKS ERRATIC ENGINE BEHAVIOR SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AND BRAKING. TRANSMISSION STARTS SHIFTING IN AND OUT OF GEARS HIGH LOW, SEVERE BUCKING, HIGH ENGINE REVVING, CYLINDER MISFIRE. HARD TO STOP VERY SLOW ACCELERATION DUE TO TRANSMISSION IN WRONG GEAR AND LOSS OF POWER DUE TO COLLAPSED LIFTER. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT GM IS WELL AWARE OF MY 2007 MONTE CARLO HAD SAME ISSUE 8 YEARS LATER THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND IM SURE THEY WILL COVER THE LIFTER ALL LIFTERS SHOULD BE REPLACED. AND AFM SHOULD BE DISABLED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WOULD NOTICE WHITE SMOKE COMING OUT UNDER THE HOOD OF MY VEHICLE. I WOULD MAINLY NOTICE IT WHEN I WOULD TURN ON THE AC . THIS WOULD HAPPEN EITHER PARKED OR IN MOTION. I WOULD OPEN THE HOOD AND THE SMOKE WOULD ONLY LAST A FEW MINUTES, WHICH CAUSED THE ALTERNATOR TO CATCH ON FIRE.

POWER TRAIN
TRUCK WITH JUST UNDER 34,000 MILES WOULD NOT DISENGAGE FROM FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF WITH THE TRANSFER CASE SELECTOR IN AUTOMATIC FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. AFTER IT WAS TURNED OFF AND BEFORE IT WAS RESTARTED, THE TRANSFER CASE WENT INTO FULL TIME FOUR WHEEL DRIVE, THE TRUCK HAD AN AUDIBLE NOISE FROM TRANSFER CASE WHEN IT WAS IN MOTION AND THE TRANSFER CASE WOULD NOT CHANGE WHEN MOVING THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SELECTOR SWITCH. CONDITION CAUSED DRIVE-ABILITY PROBLEMS. THE CORRECTION WAS TO REPROGRAM AND SET-UP THE TRANSFER CASE MODULE WHICH WAS NOT COVERED BY CHEVROLET EVEN AFTER THE SERVICING DEALER ASKED THEM FOR ASSISTANCE. SINCE THERE WAS AN AVAILABLE FIX OFFERED BY GM WITH A SOFTWARE UPDATE, SOFTWARE PROGRAMS DO NOT CHANGE WITHOUT INTERVENTION AND THE CONDITION RESULTS IN DRIVE-ABILITY CONCERNS, I BELIEVE THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED TO PRO-ACTIVELY PREVENT THE ISSUE EXPERIENCED AND NOT WAIT UNTIL THE CONSUMER HAS AN ISSUE AND THEN HAVE THE CUSTOMER PAY FOR THE REPAIR.

POWER TRAIN
MY TRUCK HAS BEEN SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL WHEN I AM ACCELERATING AND THE ONLY WAY I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET IT OUT OF NEUTRAL IS TO MANUALLY SHIFT THE TRUCK INTO NEUTRAL AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS FOR ME BECAUSE I COULD BE EASILY REAR ENDED AT A STOPLIGHT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A FEW DAYS NOW. I JUST BOUGHT THE TRUCK AND IT ONLY HAS 51000 MILES.

SERVICE BRAKES, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THERE HAS BEEN LOSS OF POWER BRAKING AT LOW SPEEDS. THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS A VIBRATING FEEL AS IT IS PRESSED. THE PEDAL WILL GO DOWN ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH VERY LITTLE BRAKING POWER. I TOOK MY TRUCK IN FOR THE RECALL WORK FOR THE SAME ISSUE WHICH HAD NO EFFECT. I HAD A PRIOR PROBLEM WITH A FUEL INJECTOR GOING OUT WITH LESS THAN 50,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. THIS CAUSED LOSS OF POWER IN SITUATIONS WHERE POWER IS NEEDED SUCH AS MERGING ON TO A FREEWAY. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE SOMEONE COULD BE KILLED. CHEVROLET SAYS THE FUEL INJECTOR IS NOT PART ON THE ENGINE EVEN THROUGH THE MANIFORD HAD TO BE REMOVED TO REPLACE IT. THE PART WAS NOT REPLACE UNDER UNDER WARRANTY. THIS PART SHOULD NOT BE FAILING UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE.

THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE FILLS WITH CARBON MONOXIDE. THIS IS KNOWN BECAUSE A 4 GAS MONITOR IN THE VEHICLE READ CARBON MONOXIDE LEVELS IN EXCESS OF 400 PPM. THE SOURCE OF THE LEAK AFTER BEING TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WAS FOUND TO BE A BROKEN BOLT IN THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. THE PARTS ONLY ESTIMATE WAS $1,700 WITH APPROXIMATELY 9 LABOR HOURS. ONLINE RESEARCH FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. FAILURE TO CORRECT THE CONDITION MAY LEAD TO DRIVERS FAINTING WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSE BRAIN INJURY TO A CHILD OR INFANT. A LEAK IN THE EXHAUST BEFORE REACHING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS ALSO RESULTS IN POSSIBLY EXCESSIVE UNTREATED EMISSIONS. THE EXHAUST LEAK MAY OR MAY NOT POSE A FIRE HAZARD.
