One problem related to battery cable has been reported for the 2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo based on all problems reported for the 2001 Monte Carlo.
When driving, headlights and dashboard lights (speedometer, etc) will go out, warning lights will light up. At other times, after turning off ignition, the headlights and/or dome lights will stay on. Vehicle will not start, unless battery cable is removed and reconnected. Dealership was of no help, said I would be charged to determine the cause of the problem, as it is no longer under warranty. This is a safety issue, because the headlights will go out, while driving, causing visibility to be nil.
