Chevy Monte Carlo Reviews

I bought this Monte Carlo SS in 2004 with 7,000 miles on it. I looked for this car for 4 days because I wanted on so badly. I ran only premium Shell gas, changed the oil & fluids every 3,000 miles, kept it washed and waxed inside and out. At 80,000 the cat went, then it was the sensors, but I kept going because I loved the car & it was the 1st new car I ever had. Between then and 168000 I had to put a new transmission. I had no AC, no heat and took it in for the numerous recalls. When I took it in for the recall on the ignition I had not had the problem of the car shutting off. Once I got the car back it started shutting off at speeds up to 65 mph.

2000 Monte Carlo - ABS control module problem, associated with the low tire pressure warning light. The tire pressure was fine but the low tire pressure monitor kept sending code to ABS control module that the tire pressure was low. Dude from Canada on YouTube shows how to reset the ABS control module and the light has been out now. ABS control module for this car costs 500 dollars. GM engineering, had the tire pressure indicator hooked up to early speed sensors inside wheel which measures rpm of wheel, if each wheel spins in close tolerance to one another then, no warning light. However, if the ABS control module reads a wheel is not spinning at same rpm as others, the ABS control module throws a code to computer system, and the ABS control module light comes on "Service Abs".

One recall after another... From ignition problems to car stalling while you're driving losing all power, to electrical issues, heat and AC controls to finally, head gaskets. This car (2003 Monte Carlo) is known and well documented to have head gasket problems at around 90k miles. Mine had to be replaced at 80 plus thousand miles, and yes, every time it rains my doors fill up with water...

I purchased a 2000 Monte SS with 236,000 miles. I've put 10,000 miles on it the past 8 mo. The previous owners abused the car, let it set 1 1/2 years after security code shut it down. I brought it home, put wires back in dash, put missing starter on it. Reset code, it fired right up!! Put a lot of suspension parts on that were bent or broke from the abuse. I LOVE MY SS. I now have a bad ** ride. Maybe I'm being super optimistic because I have no choice in keeping car, well (I was offered $3400 I gave $600). KEEP UP THE FAITH Y'ALL, IT WILL COME TOGETHER!!! You will be happy in the end. There ain't nothing like a CHEVY. But if someone could please tell me how to get that ** ABS/TRAC OFF warning light to disappear cause it's fixed, I've replaced it all. Gotta be something simple! Thanks for any help!!!

I am hoping someone will help me before I go spending money on parts I don't need. But I do need help. Back in 2013, I had purchased a 2001 Chevy Monte Carlo SS. Unfortunately in 2014, I had spent over $2,000 in vehicle repairs... from brake lines, to a fuel gauge, you name it. And I had thought I had resolved most of the issues... 2015, I get codes saying I need 2 knock sensors, a crankshaft position sensor, and a catalytic converter. On top of that; The air conditioner only works when you go all the way to 5 (1-4 doesn't work when you turn the knob). My driver side window is taped because the window may be off its track. I had problems with my starter and my radiator was leaking and I couldn't find out where until 2016.

I have a 2002 Monte Carlo SS bought it in 2002. Love my Monte. Never had any problems until I started to have engine problems. I was driving along then all of a sudden lights flashing. It act like it wanted to stop while I was driving. Slowly made it home. Then it would not start. Tow truck came and got it. Mechanic said something about my engine. Fixed it, so I thought. Cost me $500. A year later, same thing happened. Another $500. A year later, same thing happened. Finally my mechanic told me it was dex coolant. It was a recall to stop using it.

I first owned a 1996 Monte Carlo. It had 75,000 miles on it and the engine went. I contacted Chevrolet and they said my warranty was up so I was on my own. Later I find out there was a lawsuit against them by many parties for the same issue. I now own a 2009 Colorado. It has never run nicely. Always ran rough. Due to the fact that it is a pick up and I never had one before I thought that was how they ran. I just received a recall notice in the mail regarding my vehicle for that same reason and my indicator light is on also. I contacted them regarding notice and was told I had too much mileage so It was not covered. What is the difference if it's a recall? They won't stand by my vehicle.

I believe the transmission in my Monte Carlo is going. It doesn't want to go into first gear. It will eventually but at first it just don't want to go. I added Lucas to it but did not help it at all. Also my battery light pops on randomly. All I have to do is take my foot off the accelerator & let the RPM's drop to one and it goes off. I have no signs of an oil leak but have to add oil weekly. My check engine light stays on. When it rains my doors fill up with water. I have replaced so much already. Any advice on the transmission aspect of things?

I purchased a 2007 Monte Carlo in 2011 with 53,000 miles. A year and a half later I took it to superior dealership for a transmission. 1 year later another transmission. In 2015 I had three transmission. My motor mount broke in between that, why didn't they just put rear wheel drive because of the power in a super charge transmission? Major mistake with a nice body car with so many problems.

I have owned 4 Monte Carlos. 2 with 3.1 motors and 2 with 3.4. These cars ride smooth. Nice interior and all. The electrical things on this car sucks. I have a '95 Z34 now and when turn the headlights on it shuts on my radio. The car feels like it's losing power when taking off. I changed the fuel pump 3 times and still can't get it together. I want to keep the car but willing to sell it now. It's too much on me. But it's rides good when stepping on it.
