| 2006 | STEERING | I HAVE A 2006 CHEVY MONTE CARLO (V6) AND THE POWER STEERING RETURN HOSE HAS EXPLODED 3 TIMES. I ASKED THE DEALER TO CHANGE THE POWER STEERING PUMP, BUT HE CLAIMED IT WAS A DESIGN FLAW AND HE GETS AT LEAST ONE MONTE CARLO PER WEEK WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I NOW OPEN THE CAP TO THE POWER STEERING FLUID RESERVOIR EVERYDAY TO RELIEVE THE PRESSURE. YOU CAN ACTUALLY HEAR THE PRESSURE RELEASE LIKE WHEN YOU OPEN A CAN OF SODA. I HAVEN'T HAD ANY PROBLEMS SINCE, BIT I DON'T TAKE THE CAR ON LONG TRIPS AND IF I DO THE PRESSURE MAY INCREASE TO THE POINT WHERE THE HOSE BLOWS AGAIN. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM CONSIDERING I NEARLY CRASHED TWICE BECAUSE THE HOSE BLEW IN MID TURN. *TR |
| 1987 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | TRANSMISSION FAILED TWICE, ALSO REPLACED CONVERTERS. *AK |
