general problems of the 2002 Chevrolet Monte Carlo

Started car and heard a loud boom and then smoke under the hood and intake cover and harness on fire.

Recall no. 14v400.

I took my vehicle to have service done on a recall involving potential under hood fire to replace valve covers. The oil was/is leaking onto the manifold and causing the car to smoke. I barely drive this car and it is still leaking oil onto the manifold and smoking. Now the dealership will not fix what they supposedly fixed.

Driving down the highway with the cruise control the speedometer started to bounce up and down very erratically. When the speedo would start bouncing it would disengage the cruise control. At some points it would bouncing up and down but not come back above 40 or so mph. When it would do so the transmission would down shift and rev way up then the needle would come back up and the tyranny would shift back up. I had the needle go to 0 and not come back up at all and when sat for a second the transmission would kick completely out and I would be stuck on the road for a minute. After sitting for a bit I could move but the needle stayed at 0 and the transmission acted to be stuck in 1st.

Driving on hyw 31 in mchenry IL 60050 ignition turned off with no warning. Lost all power steering brakes car stopped by rubbing into curb. Was nearly rear ended by a pick up truck which had no warning that I was suddenly stopping trying to maneuver of traffic. With the curb and no power I had no way to get off the road.

Hello, I had an ignition switch replaced on my 2002 Chevrolet Monte Carlo (VIN 2g1wx15k129152523) for a cost of $715. 92 on 4. 23. 2013 due to a key turning issue. I then received a notice about the ignition switch recall in Feb 2015. I think I should be eligible for reimbursement. The repair shop said I was not eligible. Work was performed at : r. M. Burritt motors inc. 340 state route 104 oswego NY 13126. Phone (315)342-8948 thank you for looking into this michael jadus.

I have a 02 Monte Carlo that has a security fault light that pops up the car wont start wont even try to turn over ive looked up what it could be and while I was looking ive noticed that multible makes and models have had same problem Honda, but at least Honda had enough decency to recall their mess ups. Multible makes from chevy have this problem. I believe they need to recall this. I know of at least 6 cars around same year have this problem.

Car part recalled. Got notice in July 09. Car caught fire because of part in Sep 09. 2002 Monte Carlo. I was told that the car's warranty had run out! part was just recalled this year. They just found out that the part is defective. Denied claim. 9 mo old and 3 yr old in car when it caught fire on expressway.
