Steering Problems of Chevrolet Monte Carlo - part 1

I took my car into freeland Chevrolet for the recall my car was running great,when I picked it up it was idling rough and smoking on my way home it was stalling out at every stop causing me to loose control of power steering and braking creating a safty haszard called them the next day and told them about it which they already knew because the manager was outside when I started it up. They said it was thowing 11codes when I brought it in saying that was the problem,which I could not have drove it their in that condition and never would. Got in touch with corp office. In the mean time I had it towed back to them on dec1,,,. Because its undrivable. Then on dec11 got a call from corporate say I had to pay 253. 00 for a diagnostic also they told them it was throwing 21 codes when I brought it in. Whats the truth? they endangerd many lives by letting me drive that car off the lot. That tells me they have no regard for the safety of the public. My car is still there.

Takata recall. I spoke to a representative at gm asking about the recall of my vehicle and said my warranty was expired. I just recently bought the car from another person so how I was suppose to know about the cars recall. The problem with the car is the ignition switch whenever I rotate it to turn it on it does not start. I would have to rotate it slowly to the start and as well let it go slowly for it to start. So its not functioning properly. I want to file a complaint to gm for I can get my car fix since it could be caused of my death and the death of other civilians that are near my car whenever it gives up or even worst.

Did a report with the dealer 3 months ago and haven't had a call back yet about bringing my car in to fix the problem wondering how long will it take to be called in about this problem.

There is a clicking noise when I turn the wheel, and I checked everything in the wheel and it all looked okay. . . So it must be in the steering. . . Ive read up on it and people are saying its the intermediate steering shaft.

I loose the power steering and it's very scary if you are on the freeway. It's hard to bring to a stop and sometimes when I shift to park it makes a horrible grinding noise. It always restarts after I sit awhile and drives like nothing has happened. . It has happened numerous times and now it's happening more often. It could cause a bad accident. It's to the point I am very scared to drive it, because I never know when it's going to happen. Last wee it happened three times. I took it in for the recall where they modify the key. It did not help. My excellent mechanic said he has never had a situation like this where he can't figure out what's wrong. (incident information will not let me enter dates).

There have been several issues with the intermediate steering shaft and don't know how much of a safety concern it is but I feel with the amount of people who have had problems with it that it is something that needs to be checked into possible recall. I have had to have mine replaced at only 26,000 miles because from my understanding it is due to a poor design.

At approximately 4 pm I I was driving with three other people in my car on the street in the south saint louis county(railroad crossing weber rd and close to new hampshire) and we were going across the railroad, when all functions of my car died and the break's . Steering. Engine , all went off and I got scared but in the heat of the moment I pulled my my emergency break and pulled the car to a stop. All these happened on a very well paved street. , and all happened just when I crossed the railroad tracks. I was very frighten as well all the people in my car. I was wondering if any of this that happened to my car has to do with the recalls that happened with gm ignition switches. I also talk to my friend and he said that he used to have a chevy lumina 1995 and same thing happened to him on a highway in south saint louis and he did same thing and no one got hurt. When will anyone contact us that and all other people that drive these types of cars and check this out and fix this problems.

Clunking noise in front end felt through steering wheel when turning.

I was driving (with my children in car) and the car just shut off. I had no power brakes or power steering. Luckily, one child was in drivers ed & knew to put car in neutral & we coasted to a stop. Once I calmed down, I drove my monte ss to the dealer and described what happened. The kept car for a week and insisted there was nothing wrong! I drive 1-3 hrs for work daily and I didn't trust the vehicle on interstate. I purchased another vehicle 6 days later but gave this car to my child for in town driving. I was never the wiser until I heard about the recall yesterday & it's description. The monte should be involved in recall too. I was preparing to purchase a new impala but now I believe gm is still not being honest about all the makes & models involved with ignition problems.

Clunking noise in streering wheel. . Local aaa repair center gave me a service bulletin lidting this as a problem with the steering intermediate shaft in various gm models since 2000. The above mentioned shaft was replaced and the clunking went away I have the replaced shaft gm's origional fix was a lube kit(which did not last) then they listed a new "fix" change the shaft. I would like to know if the NHTSA has reviewed this problem since this is a part in the steering wheel and problems were identified in the 2000 year models? why wasn't there a recall on this?.

2000 chevy Monte Carlo with steering problems. Loud "popping" or "clunking" noise when turning at slow speeds. I've found several recalls for 2000 chevy Monte Carlo but it states my car isn't affected. Older model cars have issues with wear & tear but if there is a consistent problem with a make/model of car I would hope gm would investigate and prevent accidents. While going through the list of complaints it's very obvious it is a continuous problem and should be addressed ASAP. How many lives need to be lost before a total recall is issued?.

While sitting at a stop light my 2006 Monte Carlo unloaded it's power steering fluid on the pavement. The return hose had failed. This appears to be a common occurrence as it is the second time this happened in 3 years of ownership.

I have a 2006 Monte Carlo w/35k miles, clean title. Took it to chevy 2 months after purchasing it in August, 08. Steering issues appeared, very dangerous when driving. Chevy, "repaired" the issue, but 3 days later, the problem re-appeared while parking to move out the way for a car coming at a fast speed and almost got hit due to the defective steering. This scared my brothers 10 month old baby and we knew this had to be resolved. I'm not quite sure what I can do as this issue seems to be "repaired" but it is a very dangerous issue and I'm sure if you research it, you will noticed it is on a vast majority of gm vehicles. Please advise as to what I can do. I'm currently financing the vehicle, and would like to plane and simple cancel the contract. I'm afraid something worse down the road is possible of happening, and don't want a child to be apart of the scenario in the event it is a crash.

I have learned that when my defrost is on and I hit a water puttle my power steering goes out for about 30 seconds at a time. I use the defrost to keep my windows from fogging up in the rain. Took me a while to figure out if I turn off the defrost it wouldn't happen. But then my windows fog up! took it to my chevy dealership and they told me that was normal! I work on cars for a living. That is dangerous! I'm sure gm knows about this and maybe even some pal have died from this happening? giving what is going on now with gm can you please make them fix this now please?.
