The contact owns a 2000 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. The contact stated that the sensor in her egr would catch fire. While driving approximately 50 mph, the vehicle began to smoke and smelled of burnt plastic. She depressed the accelerator pedal and felt as if she were pushing on air. The contact heard air blowing so she took the vehicle to a mechanic. The mechanic discovered that the sensor was completely melted and he repaired the vehicle. However, the issue recurred two days later. The mechanic could not determine what caused the failure. The vehicle has not been repaired for the second failure and the dealer and manufacturer have not been notified. The VIN was unknown. The current and failure mileages were approximately 221,000.
Engine failure on a 2000 Monte Carlo ss with only 60,000 miles. I realize I was out of warrenty, but to have to replace an entire engine that basically disintegrated from under me is not something I ever thought I would have to do on this vehicle. I am left hung out to dry by gm.
My vehicle needed to have the upper and lower intake manifold gaskets, egr, plugs, new coolant, oil & filter replaced. Dealer said egr burnt through "plastic" and this is how I got leaks. Car smelled like it was burning. At first car would continually stall, even when driving. Then it started blowing out white smoke and then would not start at all. I am furious over this. My car is out of the 3 years warranty. It has 52,000 miles and has been very well taken care of. Contacted gm only to be told they would not offer any cost assistance because I don't have records of doing my own oil changes. If I were to have taken the car for every oil change at the dealer where there would be a record, they might have considered offering help. My car has always had oil changes every 3,000 miles. There is an online petition right now with over 2,200 signatures for the problem with the intake manifold gasket leaks. Gm is well aware of this problem and they are turning their backs on us consumers. If there wasn't a problem with the gaskets, then why have them come out with an upgraded gasket part? I would love to send you my service history along with the letter I wrote to gm regarding this problem.
