general problems of the 2006 Chevrolet Monte Carlo

These issues have been spotadic since I aquired the vehicle in October of 2021. Not infrequently the abs system feels like it is trying to engage at low speeds with light braking such as in a parking lot. This also happens after coasting(no gas, no brake no cruise control))and then accelerating the radio will randomly stop playing or begin playing. The turn signal indicator chimes randomly stop chiming when the turn signal is in use though the interioir indicator light will flash normally. I have not been able to stop when this occurs with the turn signal still active to get out and verify it the turn signal is actually working at random times a loud clacking sound will come from behind the dash in the general vicinity of the radio and there will be no out put from the dash vents until the clacking stops. The use of any controls whether radio or climate does not seem to cause this nor will it stop it. Actuator doorb and/or solenoid perhaps?.

Torque converter failure.

Vehicle does nothing when you hit the gas from take off then slams into gear jolting forward. Does not want to shift between 3rd and 4th gear. Seems to be a drive issue. Constantly says replace remote key less entry battery. Dealer has not been able to fix key less entry issue.

Aside from the problems with my ignition due to recall, it has been extremely hard to change gears, I often have to use two hands to switch the shift from park to drive or vice versa. The button on the gear shift is extremely hard to push.

I was driving going approximately 45 mph, I hit a pot hole and my vehicle cut off. This has happened three times since January. The same thing happened the second time. The last time it occurred was Tuesday, February 18. This time I was on the expressway traveling approximately 75 mph, hit a bump and it cut off. The car starts back up when I put it in neutral.

I was driving down century boulevard my speed was approximately about 35 r 37 miles an hour,the speed limitis a 35 miles hour zone. When all of a sudden all the traffic suddenly stopped real fast, it was about three to four in front of me. So I try to brake thats when my steering wheel got hard to where I couldn't turn away in time so I can avoid a crush. In a result I hit a lady car from behind on her left side bumper and to my right side bumper. There where no injuries,no police report was file. We had just exchange information and insurance information. Before this had took place my I could not turn off my ignition having problems with my power steering and if I break too hardmy steering columns with jurr or stiffen up making real difficult for me to turn.

Bought car at 29k in June 2007. Around 36k the transmission sensor between the gas line and the transmission decided to override my breaking. Nearly killed me because the car would not stop. (had to put in neutral to maintain control). Had to fight with chevy to get warranty fix for several weeks. Around 41k the car decided that the temp outside was -38 or -40 degrees and would insist on running heat during summer. Was told computer was bad and would have to spend $$$$ to fix (and asked why I would buy a car with a bad computer!). Around 145k oil pressure sensor went out--in less thn15 k, am now having to replace 4th one. There are several other weird issues with this vehicle that are well documented with my mechanic. And now finally get recall notice and told the best fix is to have key by itself with nothing else--fob away from key. I suspect this car is a lemon that has cost me thousands of dollars in repairs.
