| 2001 | ENGINE | I'VE HAD THIS AUTOMOBILE FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW AND WITHOUT KNOWING THE INTAKE GASKETS LEAK IN THE 3.8 ENGINES. I WAS UNAWARE OF THIS SEVERE CONDITION. I SHOULD OF BEEN TOLD OF THIS ISSUE WHEN I PURCHASE THE CAR FROM THE DEALER SINCE THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH MANY OF THE CHEVY MONTE CARLOS 3.8 AND I BELIEVE THE 3.4 ALSO. IT WILL COST ME ABOUT $480 TO REPAIR WHICH I DO NOT HAVE AND SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS CHEVROLET ONGOING ISSUE. I HAD VERY SCARY MOMENT ONE TIME IT STARTED RUNNING HOT AND SMOKE WAS COMING OFF THE ENGINE AS THE FLUID WAS SEEPING OUT OF THE GASKET AND DRIPPING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE ENGINE WHICH CAUSED A SMALL FLAME. THIS SUCH A DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND I SHOULD NOT BE LIABLE FOR THIS DANGEROUS DEFECT IN THE ENGINE. *TR |
| 2004 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT PANEL | TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL THE GAUGES ON THE VEHICLE FAILED, INCLUDING THE FUEL GAUGE AND SPEEDOMETER. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED BECAUSE HE COULD NOT DETERMINE WHAT SPEED HE WAS TRAVELING OR IF THERE WAS AN INTERNAL FAILURE BECAUSE NONE OF THE DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS WOULD ILLUMINATE. THE DEALER ONLY ADVISED THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WOULD POTENTIALLY NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 52,700. |
