general problems of the 2000 Chevrolet Monte Carlo

No lights on dash board.

Just purchased the car, drove him with no problems, went for another drive right after the blinkers inside nor outside the car would work, they at times would work after this then just not work again, after doing research about this problem I learned the hazzard switch was the problem and making the blinkers not work at times, I roach the hazzard switch now the blinkers are just fine.

While driving approximately 40 mph in congested traffic, the engine stopped and security and maintenance lights came on. Vehicle restarted after setting a few minutes. This happened several times. Received a recall letter and took it to the nearest dealership. 2 days later vehicle started shutting off when the turn signal was used. Now at times it wont start. Contacted dealership to find out if the recalled part could be the problem and was rudely brushed off. Problem still not fixed.

14350 unintended ignition key rotation. I have tried 3 separate times, over the past year, to have this taken care of by calling crippen auto, lansing, mi. The first time I did not have the VIN number. Ok. The next three times I was sent to service voice mail. I have left a message each time regarding this recall. Not once has anyone returned my call. Today my husband is physically going down there to try and get a service appointment. I am tired of trying to deal with this dealership.

After I contacted the dealer, the appointment was made to repair all recall issues. Received notification that all parts were at the dealership. Once I arrived at the dealer, was told it would be a three hour wait. Drove approx. 100 miles to dealer (bill gatton Chevrolet-Cadillac). One recall issue was resolved, resulting in another appointment to be made when other parts arrived. No precautions were made to ensure vehicle protected against service department injury to vehicle, ie, no paper mats placed in car, dirt inside car, and keys left in the vehicle on the dealer lot. This vehicle has been maintained in a pristine condition, (51,000 actual miles). Has never been driven on salt or under any bad weather conditions. The dealer even commented that the vehicle appeared to be brand new. I would welcome a customer satisfaction survey for this dealership.

Vehicle was having starting issues. Would not start without a jump start. We jumped the car with jumper cables, and the engine caught on fire. Immediatley hosed it down to put out the fire, and now there is a hole in the top of the engine. After extensive research, found out a recall back in 09 that was causing this same exact issue. Found several people with the same year make and model vehicle, that this same exact situation happend to, and it was due to the recall. In 2010 stockton Chevrolet replaced sparkplug retainers on a recall issue, which was linked to the same recall. Now trying to fight gm dealer to have vehicle fixed, as it seems to be linked to the recall even though the sparkplug retainers were replaced. Could be a possible product liability issue.

This vehicle kept cutting off on me while going 55 mph down the road. I took it to hubert vester Chevrolet and they could find nothing wrong. They replaced the switch at a cost of $388. 98 invoice no 73404c this still did not fix my vehicle. To this day it is still cutting off while going down the road at 55 mph I am scared to drive but could not sell it for this reason. I have had the car all this time and now find out that it has this recall for cutting off while going down the road. I would like a refund of my money as they did not fix my vehicle.

Car all of a sudden acts like it doesn't want to start when only when it feels like it without warning of this can happen may need to get away in car to avoid negative situation and car decides doesn't want to start had problem replaced before this needs to be addressed security issue.

Car stalls while driving with no warning, difficult to restart thereafter. Chevy dealer can not locate the problem. Has happened at low rates of speeds thus far. . . 20 mph or less (pulling into gas station, pulling into driveway, pulling down residential street).

With no indication of trouble, the car stalls and shuts down while driving. Sometimes it can be re-started, sometimes it cannot be restarted. After towed to the dealer, the problem does not occur and no cause is identified. Last year the dealer replaced the idle air control and cleaned the throttle body, but the problem returned intermittently. It has occurred once / week for the last month.

While driving, the headlights and/or the dashboard lights would flick off for a few seconds. This would impair the driver's view. The dealership was unable to duplicate the problem, so the mechanic was unable to resolve it. The radio would come on and go off and fail to read "cd" at times.

On two separate occasions there were engine explosions which resulted in fires when starting vehicle. The fire was extinguished by the owner. The fire marshal report has not been received yet.
