Recall no.14v400
I took my vehicle to have service done on a recall involving potential under hood fire to replace valve covers. the oil was/is leaking onto the manifold and causing the car to smoke. i barely drive this car and it is still leaking oil onto the manifold and smoking. now the dealership will not fix what they supposedly fixed.
I recently purchased a used 2002 chevy monte carlo. however i have been having intermittent problems with the vehicle not starting.it has had the recalled ignition switch replaced but every once in a while the vehicle still doesn't start. i have done some investigating on the web and discovered it is a very common problem of many general motors makes between the 1999-2004 modal years.the vehicles vats system (vehicle anti theft system)will not allow the vehicle to start.when the vehicle doesn't start i have to wait 10minutes and low and behold it will start.this is a very common problem that is not only aggravating but could be potentially dangerous if the vehicle needs to be moved in an emergency situation.please make gm recall these vehicles! sincerely [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr
I own a lemon of a 2002 chevrolet monte carlo ss. nothing but problems since i bought it last year. steering column problems, cost $200.00 to fix, catalytic converter replaced, covered by warranty thank god. today it is in the shop again for leaky gasket and wheel bearing/ hub replacement which is costing another $500.00. this was bad because the abs breaks didn't always work which was scary since i wondered when they were going to give out totally and i would be in an accident. the transmission solenoid also needed to be replaced which cost us another $700.00. is there any help for us? i wonder what will be next with this car, it is a nice looking car, but it sucks mechanically!! please help! any suggestions? *tr
