SOMEONE CAME IN TO TELL ME IT WAS SMOKING. THERE WAS A GREAT DEAL OF SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. WE CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND BEFORE THEY COULD ARRIVE, THE CAR WAS ENGULFED. WHILE IT WAS BURNING, WE COULD HEAR IT TRYING TO START! THERE IS NOTHING LEFT OF THE FRONT, ENGINE COMPARTMENT, OR INTERIOR, EXCEPT FOR THE FRAMES. ONLY THE TRUNK AREA AND RIGHT REAR TIRE WERE UNTOUCHED. *TR

I HAVE A 2000 CHEVY MONTE CARLO WITH 56,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE. HAVE HAD ALOT OF REPAIRS ON IT. NOW IT HAS A POPPING NOISE IN THE STEERING COLUMN, AND LOUD FRONT END NOISE. I WAS TOLD THE STEERING COLUMN PROBLEM HAD A RECALL ON IT,BECAUSE ONE OF MY FRIENDS CHEVY IMPALA HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEIRS WAS FIXED UNDER RECALL. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET, THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL ON MY MONTE CARLO. SEEMS IF THRE IS A DEFECTIVE PART ON THIS MODEL, GM SHOULD REPLACE IT WITH NO CHARGE .ALSO, THE FRONTEND HAS HAD A VERY LOUD ROAR IN IT SINCE WE PURCHASED IT USED WITH 12,000 MILES ON IT. WE REPLACED THE TIRES,WHICH DID NOT HELP, AND I WAS TOLD THE FRONT HUBS HAD DEFECTIVE BEARINGS WHICH DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH GREASE AND COULD NOT BE GREASED. MY FRIEND REPLACED THE FRONT HUBS ON THEIR CHEVY IMPALA WITH IMPROVED HUBS AND CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR,INCLUDING THE ELECTRIC WINDOWS REPAIRED FOUR TIMES,STARTER, ALTENATOR, TURN SIGNALS AND HAZARD FLASHERS, PAINT, THE CAR IS SUPPOSED TO BE BLACK, INSTEAD IT'S BLACK AND WHITE POLKA DOT. I BELIEVE THIS CAR SHOULD BE DECLARED A LEMON UNDER THE LEMON LAW. I HAVE PUT WAY TO MUCH MONEY INTO THIS CAR WITH JUST 56,000 MILES ON IT. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR HELP ON MY PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR, AS I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE FRONT HUBS AND THE PROBLEM IN THE STEERING COLUMN. I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP SPENDING MONEY ON THIS CAR, I JUST KEEP THROWING GOOD MONEY AFTER BAD.I THINK GM SHOULD REPAIR THESE PROBLEMS AT NO CHARGE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

MY 2000 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO LS DEVELOPED A WATER LEAK IN IT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IN THE FLOOR AREA COMING FROM UNDER THE DASH. THE CAR IS GOING TO BE REPAIRED AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT NEW. I WAS INFORMED BY THE REPAIR PERSON THERE HAS BEEN SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH OTHER MODELS MADE BY GM (BUICK WAS MENTIONED). IT APPEARS THERE IS A DEFECT IN AN AREA UNDER THE DASH ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHERE A PASSENGER AIR FILTER WAS SUPPOSED TO BE BUT NOT IN MY CAR. IN THAT AREA, RAINWATER BUILDS UP AND SWELLS SOME SEALS AND EVENTUALLY LETS WATER IN THROUGH THAT DEFECTIVE AREA. I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE WORTH REPORTING THIS SINCE IT HAS BEEN IN OTHER VEHICLES AS WELL. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU MAY NEED MORE INFO OR IF THIS NEEDS TO BE REPORTED ELSEWHERE.*AK

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 1998-1999 Chevrolet Lumina and Oldsmobile Intrigue, 1997-2004 Buick Regal and Pontiac Grand Prix, 2000-2004 Chevrolet Impala, and 1998-2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo vehicles. The affected vehicles were previously repaired under recalls 08V-118, 09V-116, and 15V-201 to address the possibility that engine oil may drip onto the hot exhaust manifold.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Engine oil that drips onto the hot surface of the exhaust manifold may result in a fire.
Remedy: The remedy applied under recalls 08V-118, 09V-116, and 15V-201 did not adequately remove the safety risk. Under the improved remedy, dealers will replace the engines front valve cover and gasket. Vehicles that are covered by recalls 08V-118, 09V-116, or 15V-201 that have not yet received the original remedy will instead receive the improved remedy under the original recall number. The recall began on February 19, 2016. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300, Oldsmobile customer service at 1-800-442-6537 and Pontiac customer service at 1-800-458-8006. GM's number for this recall is 15757. Note: Until the improved remedy has been applied, owners are advised to park their vehicle outside since the fire risk exists even when the vehicle is unattended.

This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) notified the agency on July 3, 2014, that they are recalling 5,877,718 model year 2000-2005 Chevrolet Impala and Monte Carlo, 1997-2003 Chevrolet Malibu, 2004-2005 Malibu Classic, 1999-2004 Oldsmobile Alero, 1998-2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue, 1999-2005 Pontiac Grand Am and 2004-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix vehicles. In these models, the weight on the key ring and/or road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will install two key rings and an insert in the key slot or a cover over the key head on all ignition keys, free of charge. The recall began on September 9, 2014. GM's number for this recall is 14350.
GENERAL MOTORS IS RECALLING 1,497,516 MY 1997-2003 BUICK REGAL, MY 1998-2003 CHEVROLET LUMINA, MONTE CARLO AND IMPALA, MY 1998-1999 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE, MY 1997-2003 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A 3.8L V6 NATURALLY ASPIRATED ENGINE. SOME OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE A CONDITION IN WHICH DROPS OF ENGINE OIL MAY BE DEPOSITED ON THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD THROUGH HARD BRAKING.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE MANIFOLD IS HOT ENOUGH AND THE OIL RUNS BELOW THE HEAT SHIELD, IT MAY IGNITE INTO A SMALL FLAME AND MAY SPREAD TO THE PLASTIC SPARK PLUG WIRE CHANNEL AND BEYOND INCREASING THE RISK OF AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE ENGINES FRONT VALVE COVER AND FRONT-VALVE-COVER GASKET WITH NEW PARTS OF AN IMPROVED DESIGN AND REMOVE THE ENGINES PLASTIC COVER AND PLASTIC OIL-FILL-TUBE EXTENSION, FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING MAY 2016. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, OLDSMOBILE AT 1-800-630-6537, AND PONTIAC AT 1-800-620-7668 OR HTTP://WWW.PONTIAC.COM OR HTTP:WWW.GMOWNERCENTER.COM.
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 3800 V6 (L36) ENGINES AND CERTAIN DELPHI FUEL PRESSURE REGULATORS, THE REGULATORS HAVE A MUCH HIGHER THAN USUAL RATE OF FUEL LEAKS. A LEAK CAN ALLOW FUEL TO ENTER THE INTAKE MANIFOLD THROUGH A VACUUM LINE. IF THE ENGINE DOES NOT START WHEN CRANKED, THE FUEL FROM THE LEAKING REGULATOR AND A MISTIMED SPARK CAN CAUSE A BACKFIRE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THE BACKFIRE CAN RUPTURE THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. THE RUPTURE OF THE INTAKE MANIFOLD CAN DISPLACE A FUEL LINE, PULLING AN INJECTOR OUT OF PLACE, AND CAUSING A FUEL LEAK AND POSSIBLE FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL NEW FUEL PRESSURE REGULATORS WITH IMPROVED DIAPHRAGMS. THE RECALL WILL BE CONDUCTED IN PHASED MAILINGS. PHASE 1 BEGAN ON JUNE 30, 2004, AND PHASE 2 BEGAN ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT BUICK AT 1-866-608-8080, OLDSMOBILE AT 1-800-630-6537, OR PONTIAC AT 1-800-620-7668.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES, LIGHT DUTY TRUCKS, SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, AND MINI VANS EQUIPPED WITH TRW SEAT BELT BUCKLE ASSEMBLIES. THE BUCKLE BASE OF THESE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES WERE NOT PROPERLY HEAT TREATED AND THEREFORE DO NOT PASS THE LOAD BEARING REQUIREMENT OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 209, "SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE CRASH, THE OCCUPANT MAY NOT BE PROPERLY RESTRAINED.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY BELT BUCKLE ASSEMBLY DATE CODES AND, IF NECESSARY, WILL REPLACE ANY SAFETY BELT BUCKLE ASSEMBLY.
