general problems of the 2000 Chevrolet Monte Carlo

No lights on dash board.

Engine, fire under hood. Have contacted dealer & gm, they said there is nothing they can do about it. Faulty replaced parts by dealer.

We bought the 2000 chevy Monte Carlo ss VIN 2g1wx12k9y9171978 back in June 2019 we have done some regular repairs on it when we first got it and everything worked great! started every single time. 02/18/2020 we went to start it and it was acting like the battery was dead. Went and check the battery volt read and it was reading at 8 so I hooked up jumper cable to it and let it sit for a couple minutes. Got in a turned the key over to start it. The whole plastic intake blew up and pieces went everywhere. Then caught fire. It was so bad very scary. The damage was little compared of what it could have been if the hood was closed.

Car was recalled and fixed - stating if the recall was not fixed the motor could catch fire. Car was repaired in 2017 and last week; I started the vehicle and the motor caught fire. Please tell me what I do now. . . Car was stationary; caught on fire at attempted start up.

Tl- the contact owns a 2000 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle smoke was present coming from the engine. After lifting the hood the contact discovered flames coming from the engine. The contact used a fire extinguisher to extinguish the flames. The cause of the failure was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 115,000. Jft.

So when we went to start the car, the car would not start we replaced the battery then we replaced the alternator. After looking some stuff up online we realized that it was neither of these things it was actually the passlock security. It is now locked us out and we cannot get the car started unless we go and have a whole new ignition tumbler keys and I believe it is the bcm reprogrammed. This is obviously a malfunction in the car and I don't believe that I should have to pay $300 for a malfunction I don't know if you all can help me but anything at this point in time would be helpful.

As I went to pull of a stop light my car shifted so hard I all most hit the person in front of me also while I drive my car speeds up on its own not safe at all!!.

During the process of starting the vehicle: first attempt to start the vehicle, it didn't start. The second attempt to start the vehicle, there was a loud bang (explosion) under the hood with an odor of 'burnt plastic'. Upon looking at the engine, the black plastic intake maniford had a hole it from the explosion. This is the second occurance in 3 months. I have replaced this intake this past winter and this occured again last weekend. It seems in my research that gm is ignoring this defect and will not offer a fix to the problem. Gm knows this is happening especially with "cold starts" but has yet addressed.

Our 2000 Monte Carlo supersport was parked and had been off for approximately 15 minutes. Before that, it had been driven for approcimatley 30 minutes and parked for about an hour. Someone came in to tell me it was smoking. There was a great deal of smoke coming from under the hood. We called the fire department and before they could arrive, the car was engulfed. While it was burning, we could hear it trying to start! there is nothing left of the front, engine compartment, or interior, except for the frames. Only the trunk area and right rear tire were untouched.

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.
