Engine Problems of Chevrolet Monte Carlo

I purchased a 2003 chevy Monte Carlo in April 2011 from a used car dealer pmm auto sales whom I trusted and dealt with for years, with less than 115,000 miles and within less then 30 days there was signs of minor problems. When I attempted to have the vehicle checked by the car dealership. I was pushed to the side mainly bc im a female. I did notice a white film when I check the low oil pressure light but I didnt think anything of it bc of my lack of knowledge. Come to find out the intake valve gasket was gone and needed to be replaced. The warranty CO. Aslo swindled me only paying for a small percentage of the repair. Leaving me with a major repair bill on a car purchased less thatn 30 days ago. The mechanic knew the prob b4 I explained it to him in detail and/or any significant research. He std that it is a common flaw on these car models. Sad to say but I got beat in more than one way.

This complaint is in reference to gm safety recall # 09047. Precautions to the consumer include not parking car in garage and noticing a burning odor. A call was made to local dealer and parts are on national backorder!! so, if I park my car in the garage and it burns the house down, I have no recourse because I received a letter. This is not satisfactory!!.

I had to turn on the a. C. So the car would not overheat --took it in and they had to replace my intake gasked was told this is commen with chevy--3 months later my air compresser is shot already have paid $3,000 and the car only has 50,000 miles.

Head gasket went bad with 28,000 mi.

Engine possibly blown, all scheduled maintenance completed, could be head gasket, any recalls?.

Sheared bolt was found on my garage floor after driving to and from work. Tow truck driver said he had never seen this happen before. Dealer claims I hit something, but no other damage is visible. I didn't drive because I felt it was unsafe, but would appreciate knowing if the is a manufacturer defect to obtain cost of repair and towing and hopefully save someone else's life.

:this seems to be a ongoing problem with a large margarity of Monte Carlos. My understanding is that a dealer memo went out in 1998 notifiying chevy dealers of possible piston problems. I have spoken to a few Monte Carlo owners and find this to not be a rare problem. Pistons are blowing through the engines while driving. I was aware enought to hear a knock and knew enough about cars to get it checked I spoke to a girl who owns a 1999 Monte Carlo her engine blew while driving down the road at 17,000 mile. She now has a new engine with 7,000 miles and it has a knock in the engine. This is a very serious problem I am concerned for the saftey of my children and myself as well as other Monte Carlo owners who are not aware of this problem and might consider taking there familys on a long trip somewhere. Possible leaving them stranded or hurt if the engine blows while driving on the highway. Chevy is aware of this problem yet it still continues to manufacture the same engine from the original memo date of 1998 to present. This shows a serious lack of saftey or concern for consumers on the part of chevy. Please help me as this is a large expense and I truly do now have a concern for my familys saftey on future planned trips. I bought a new car for the security of knowing my children will be safe , for this reason I did not buy a car that was old or with a rebuilt engine. Yet chevy solution is to rebuild my engine "end of story " according to them . You are probably the only chance ending the productin of this faulty engine. Please contact me as soon as possible. Thank you.

Failure resulted in a breakdown during rush hour on a freeway; the vehicle was almost rear ended and resulted in many unhappy motorists.
