2005 Chevrolet Monte Carlo

A YR. AFT. I BOUGHT MY 2005 MONTE CARLO, THINGS BEGAN GOING WRONG WITH IT. FIRST 2 THINGS TO GO:THE CRUISE CONTROL & RE-WINDOW DEFROSTER. THE NEXT YR, WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT ON THE INTERSTATE, I SWITCHED MY LIGHTS TO BRIGHTS & WITHIN SECONDS I HAD NO LIGHTS AT ALL! THIS COULD OF CAUSED A VERY BAD ACCIDENT, I WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY SWITCH THE LIGHTS BACK TO DIM & LUCKILY THEY CAME BACK ON. SINCE THEN, I NO LONGER USE THE BRIGHT LIGHTS, FOR FEAR OF MY LIGHTS NOT COMING BACK ON. THEN IT SEEMED LIKE EVERYTHING WENT HAYWIRE AFTER THAT, ODOMETER SHOWED THAT I WAS GOING 110, GAS GAUGE QUIT & TEMP GAUGE REGISTERED PAST 260. NOT A FUN NIGHT TO BE DRIVING, NOT KNOWING MY CORRECT SPEED, HOW MUCH GAS I HAD, IF MY CAR WAS GOING TO OVERHEAT OR HAVE NO LIGHTS! SINCE 6/15/2012 THE TACH NOW REGISTERS BETWEEN 6000-7000 RPMS & NONE OF THE GAUGES ARE WORKING PROPERLY. MY CAR ALSO SMELLS LIKE IT HAS AN EXHAUST OR FUEL LEAK WHICH COMES THRU THE VENTS, IT MAKES ME SICK & GIVES ME HEADACHES. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER A YR. AGO, PAID $98.00 FOR THEM TO TELL ME THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. TO THIS DAY, MY CAR STILL SMELLS LIKE GASOLINE, I PRAY IT DOESN'T CATCH ON FIRE. TONIGHT I'VE BEEN RESEARCHING THESE PROBLEMS & FOUND THAT THE FAULTY GAUGES IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS & QUITE EXPENSIVE TO FIX. I FEEL CHEVY SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING THIS PROBLEM & ALL THE OTHERS, AFTER ALL THEY'RE THE ONES WHO BUILT A CAR WITH MANY SERIOUS PROBLEMS. THIS IS VERY UNFAIR FOR THE MANY CONSUMERS OUT THERE WHO HAVE SPENT THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY TO BUY THIS CAR. NOT EVERYONE CAN AFFORD TO GET THIS FIXED ALONG WITH PAYING THE CAR PAYMENT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY CAN'T BE MADE TO TAKE CARE OF THIS. WHAT WOULD HAVE TO HAPPEN IN ORDER TO MAKE THEM PAY? WHAT'S LISTED ABOVE? A CRASH, FIRE, INJURY OR DEATH? SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BE THAT WAY, SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE ANY OF THAT HAPPENS! *TT

2005 MONTE CARLO OVER HEATS,SECOND YEAR I BOUGHT THE CAR. REPLACE A NUMBER OF THINGS. GAS GAUGE DOES NOT WORK,SPEED GAUGE DOES NOT WORK,REAR DEFROST DOES NOT WORK. THIS IS 2012 AND I BOUGHT IT IN 2005. TIL THIS DAY THE CAR IS STILL OVER HEATING. THE CAR IS A LEMON. WHEN YOU HAVE A CAR FOR SEVEN YEARS,AND HAVE TO KEEP FINANCING. TO MAKE PAYMENTS AND FULL COVERAGE INSURANCE AND TO FIX THE CAR, AND DON'T GET TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS. YOU LOSE RESPECT FOR THE COMPANY THAT BUILT THIS MODEL.THE MANUFACTURER OUGHT TO PAY ME FOR TAKING THEIR LEMON OFF THEIR HANDS. WHAT EVER WE FIX THE CAR WILL RUN, BUT NOT LONG AND THE LIST GOES ON. *TR
