| 1999 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL:FLASHER UNIT | 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 |
| 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 |
