Starter problems of the 2000 Chevrolet Monte Carlo

The contact owns a 2000 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. When she attempted to start the vehicle it would not start. She called aaa to start the vehicle and was advised that she needed a starter. The vehicle was taken to a local repair shop and the starter was replaced. After the starter was replaced the failure recurred a month later. The vehicle was towed to an authorized dealer who replaced the body control module. The failure occurred again and she currently has a diagnostic testing appointment scheduled. The failure mileage was 62,000 and the current mileage was 63,400. Updated 10/21/10. The consumer stated the vehicle has failed to start on six occasions. The pass key lock system was the problem, but Chevrolet would not acknowledge that was the problem. Updated 10/26/jb.

I have a 2000 chevy Monte Carlo with 56,000 miles on it. It has been nothing but trouble. Have had alot of repairs on it. Now it has a popping noise in the steering column, and loud front end noise. I was told the steering column problem had a recall on it,because one of my friends chevy impala had the same problem and theirs was fixed under recall. I contacted Chevrolet, they said there was no recall on my Monte Carlo. Seems if thre is a defective part on this model, gm should replace it with no charge . Also, the frontend has had a very loud roar in it since we purchased it used with 12,000 miles on it. We replaced the tires,which did not help, and I was told the front hubs had defective bearings which did not have enough grease and could not be greased. My friend replaced the front hubs on their chevy impala with improved hubs and corrected the problem. I have had numerous electrical problems with this car,including the electric windows repaired four times,starter, altenator, turn signals and hazard flashers, paint, the car is supposed to be black, instead it's black and white polka dot. I believe this car should be declared a lemon under the lemon law. I have put way to much money into this car with just 56,000 miles on it. I would appreciate your help on my problems with this car, as I believe there should be a recall on the front hubs and the problem in the steering column. I can't afford to keep spending money on this car, I just keep throwing good money after bad. I think gm should repair these problems at no charge. Thank you very much for your time.

While driving without warning the vehicle stalled and became difficult for the consumer to control. The starter and flywheel had to be replaced.
