2005 Chevrolet Monte Carlo

I have had numerous lights, noise, continuously for the last 7 years have replaced numerous parts, only to last awhile then the lights, noise return. Seems there is no cure for this malfunctioning problem, have heard GM is aware of these problems but have never received a letter regarding them, the anti-lock traction control braking system on these cars are headaches and troublesome, and expensive with no cure in sight, have spent tons of money on these problems, still keep having them.

WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THIS CAR THE BOOST GAGE WAS NOT WORKING. A FEW DAYS LATER THE GAS OIL PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE GAUGES STARTED GOING CRAZY. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE NEEDS TO WORK TO SHOW OVERHEATING OF ENGINE TO AVOID DAMAGE. INTERNET FORUMS SAY THIS ISSUE A VERY COMMON ISSUE. PICTURE SHOWS GAUGES ON LEFT AFTER CAR RUNNING 10 MIN WITH APPROX HALF TANK OF GAS

THE MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH IS FAULTY. MY BLINKERS NEVER WORK RIGHT. SOMETIMES I HAVE RIGHT AND NO LEFT TURN SIGNAL AND MANY TIMES THE HAZARD LIGHTS TURN ON WHEN I USE TURN SIGNAL. THE TURN SIGNAL SOUND OF CLICKING NEVER STOPS, CONSTANT CLICKING THAT OFTEN STARTS BUZZING. QUITE OFTEN MY TURN SIGNALS DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY AND I HAVE NO WAY TO ALERT OTHER DRIVERS THAT I AM SWITCHING LANES. IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHEVROLET AND GMC AND EXPENSIVE TO CORRECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY FAILED TO TURN OVER IN THE IGNITION SO THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO START THE VEHICLE. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V400000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS WAITING TO BE REFERRED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE AND PROVIDE THE RECALL REMEDY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

MY CAR HAS A STRONG GAS ODOR PARTICULARLY IN COLDER WEATHER. I NOTICED IT LAST WINTER AND IT WENT AWAY DURING THE SUMMER. NOW THAT THE TEMPS ARE GETTING COOLER, IT HAS STARTED AGAIN. I TURN ON THE HEAT AND HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN FOR VENTILATION. I'VE HAD THREE DIFFERENT MECHANIC SHOPS CHECK IT OUT. NONE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE CAUSE. IT IS EMBARRASSING IN THE SCHOOL CAR RIDER LINE OR IN A DRIVE THROUGH. SOMEONE ALWAYS COMMENTS ON IT. I AM WORRIED IT MAY CATCH FIRE.

MY ENGINE (V6 3.8L 3800 SERIES) IS LEAKING OIL ON THE ENGINE. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THIS YESTERDAY (11/2/16) WHEN HE REPLACED THE PLASTIC ELBOWS AS I HAD ANTIFREEZE LEAKING FROM THEM. HE SAID THE 3.8 L ENGINE HAS A RECALL FOR THIS, OIL LEAKING FROM THE VALVE COVER GASKETS AND SAID CHEVROLET HAS A RECALL TO REPLACE THEM. I DO REMEMBER SEEING THIS RECALL ONLINE SOMEWHERE, BUT HAVE NOT SEEN IT WHILE SEARCHING THE LAST TWO DAYS. MY MECHANIC OLD ME IT WILL CAUSE A FIRE. I HAVE 87771 MILES ON MY CAR. I HAVE TO ADD A QUART OF OIL IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. I HAVE HAD TO DO THIS SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR 6/2008. THE CAR HAS BEEN LEAKING OIL FOR AWHILE NOW.

KEY FOB QUIT WORKING. I USE THE KEY TO MANUALLY UNLOCK CAR. HOWEVER, AFTER CAR IS PARKED AND OFF, THE DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK THEMSELVES. THE FRONT AND REAR LIGHTS FLASH WHILE DOORS LOCKING AND UNLOCKING. THE OTHER NIGHT, IT WAS FLASHING MORSE CODE FOR OVER 24HOURS. I DO NOT HAVE ON STAR CONNECTED. HORN QUIT WORKING 4 MONTHS RIGHT BEFORE KEY FOB QUIT. I CAN'T USE MY BRIGHT LIGHTS, BECAUSE I LOSE DASH LIGHTS, HEAD LIGHTS. MY SON AND I SHARE THIS CAR TO DRIVE TO WORK. SINCE THE LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING ALL DAY AND NIGHT, I FELT IT IS UNSAFE FOR HIM TO DRIVE TO WORK WHICH IS 40 MILES ONE WAY. WHY SO MANY ISSUES THAT ARE NOT BEING TAKEN SERIOUS? I DRIVE MY CAR DURING DAY TIME. I PRAY I MAKE IT TO WORK. I HAVE TO DRIVE 9 MILES ONE WAY TO WORK. HOWEVER, I DRIVE HIGHWAY 75 WITH SEMI TRUCKS GOING 70 MILES AN HOUR. IF THIS CAR LOSES POWER ON THAT HIGHWAY, I WILL PROBABLY NOT SURVIVE. UNSAFE AND NOT RELIABLE VEHICLE. CHEVY SHOULD HELP US MONTE CARLO OWNERS GET THEM FIXED. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.
