Problems with the suspension, ignition switch, turn signals not working, security system not resetting. Had to replace the ecm.
I have a 2003 montecarlo ss with a 3. 8 engine. Recently within the last couple of months my security light has come on. Have been told it is the pass lock. In order to shut it off I stop the car shut off lock and unlock doors and the light goes out. I have also been told this could either shut the car off or not start. Big problem. It could come on while driving or stationary.
2003 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. Consumer requests vehicle recall information.
The heater fan kept turning on and off and I had to have a new ignition switch put in . At times the fan would quit working while going down the road. Other times the fan would not turn on. The cruise light would blink when the heater fan was turned on and the cruise would quit while driving down the road. . I saw on the news last night where there was a recall. I've not recivedany info.
I was driving home from work and was involved in a car accident, where I rear ended another vehicle. I was shaken and unaware of what happened as it happen extremly fast. As I hit the vehicle in front of me I had no control of my vehicle. My air bags deployed but it was seconds after the impact which I though was very odd. When I treid to move my vehicle off to the side of the road I noticed the ignition switch wouldn't turn. After playing with it for several minutes I was able to move the vehicle. I just thought is was because of the accident. Since then my ignition switch has locked up 2 different times, making me connect all the dots back to my accident. I belive this ignition switch caused my accident.
Very common problem with transmissions in the 2000-2005 impala and Monte Carlo models. Transmission makes going in motion from a stop delayed. Transmission has been serviced on/replaced twice. Has caused a minor accident only because both parties were going slow.
The ignition causes the car heater and air lights on dash to go go out while driving.
Purchased the option called "driver info" center which gives you gal of fuel used, range you can drive on the remaining fuel in tank, mile per gallon, temperature features. The unit was off by 4 gal with a 17 gal tank. Gm admits it is 18% off and refuses to fix the unit because not enough people know it doesn't work the way it should yet they continue to sell it.
