general problems of the 2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo

Upon attempting to start my car, the engine made a loud bang and saw some smoke coming out from the sides of the hood. I then noticed in the reflection of some water on the street and orange glow. I got out of the car, saw fire under the car, and called 911.

I was trying to start the car again,and the engine exploded in my face while I was standing over it.

Car would not start again, raised hood and proceeded to attach jump cables, and at the moment just before attachment, my daughter turns the key and wow, what an explosion! I was injured very bad the whole center of the motor was all over my driveway and I was thrown away from the car. Over 25,000 in medical bills and months of disability and still seeking medical attention to this day.

2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. The contact stated the vehicle would not start. The contact tried to start it three or four times when it exploded. This occurred in the engine compartment. The vehicle had to be towed to the dealership, who stated that the fuel system was putting too much power to the engine, and that caused the explosion. This happened in may 2005. The vehicle was towed to dealership about the beginning of October 2005. The vehicle was sluggish when started. When driving on the freeway the contact would have to pull over because it was not getting enough power to the vehicle. The debris from the explosion hit the top of the hood. The contact does still have parts from the vehicle. Chevrolet stated that because the vehicle was not under warranty or recall they could not assist the contact.
