While driving my 2001 Monte Carlo ss at 65 miles per hour on the interstate the car would shut off on its own leaving no power steering, brakes, or power to anything. The car did this several times.

39 Steering problem of the 2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo

Failure Date: 02/10/2006

I have had my 2001 Monte Carlo LS since September of 2001 I am the original owner. I started having problems with the intermediate steering shaft at about 20,000 mile at which time the dealer lubed it and the problem went away for awhile. The lube only lasted till about 48,000 miles at which time I had to take it back to the dealer and they did it again under what they call good will. At around 63,000 miles it was happening again at which time I decide to call general motors. I explained my problem to them even giving them their own bulletin number that called for replacement of the steering shaft that was provided to me by a gm technician. They could not find that in their database until I gave them the number then they told me there was a bulletin the superseded the bulletin I gave them which called for lubing the shaft. They had me take the car to the dealer for diagnosis which they told me the steering shaft needed to be lubed which is what I told gm on the phone. Gm told me they where not going to cover the cost of the repair even know the same part failed 3 times in under 70,000 miles. The dealer quoted me 280. 00 for the repair which I declined and they charged me for diagnosis of 75. 00. I ended up buying the lube for 11. 00 and doing it myself. I really think if gm is going to sell cars they should be responsible for faulty parts they are putting into vehicles knowingly costing consumers millions yearly. There are many technical bulletins on the steering shaft problems. I'm just going to put any date in for incident date because this seems to be a recurring problem.

Failure Date: 05/07/2005

My husband was recently involved in an accient in his 2000 Chevrolet Monte Carlo due to steering problems. This resulted in a roll-over x2 and total loss. I have contacted gm to discuss the problem and they insist that it should be handled by our insurance carrier. Since the accident, I have found that gm issued a recall (03062) for power steering problems. I have done further research and found that this is not a one time incident, others have complained of very similiar problems with the same vehicle.
