2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo

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. *TR

I HAVE LEARNED THAT WHEN MY DEFROST IS ON AND I HIT A WATER PUDDLE 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? *TR

I WAS AT A RED LIGHT AND THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR AND THE ENGINE REVVED WAY UP BUT I DID NOT GO ANYWHERE, AND THEN KIND OF CLUNK AND IT SEEMED TO HAVE POPPED IN GEAR. THE AMOUNT OF TORQUE THAT WAS DELIVERED TO THE WHEELS CAUSED ME TO VEER INTO THE LANE NEXT TO ME THAT HAD ALREADY BEGAN TO MOVE. A SEMI TRUCK ALMOST HIT ME! *TR

I HEAR FROM SOMEONE THAT YOU MAY BE ABLE TO HELP! BELOW IS A BLOG I MADE TO THE MONTE CARLO FORUM SITE. PLEASE READ TO GET AN IDEA OF WHAT MY COMPLAINTS ARE. I OWN A 2007 MONTE CARLO SS. I HAVE BEEN TO CHEVY 6 TIMES UNDER WARRANTY FOR THIS TRANSMISSION ISSUE. EACH TIME THEY TOLD ME THEY DID NOT FIND ANY ERROR CODES OR PROBLEMS ON THE TEST DRIVES. I FIND THIS HARD TO BELIEVE. MY TRANSMISSION SHIFTS HARD AT TIMES LIKE IT IS MISSING. THIS SLIPPING / HARD SHIFTING IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR GETTING ON TO PARKWAYS AND NEEDING TO RESPOND QUICKLY TO CERTAIN SITUATIONS. ALL SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING IN FIRST GEAR. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THEM ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO (OUT OF WARRANTY) FOR AN ENGINE BURNING OIL ISSUE WHICH BY THE WAY I ALSO BROUGHT TO THEIR ATTENTION 5 TIMES UNDER WARRANTY. WHICH ALL OF A SUDDEN (YOU GUESSED IT) THEY ADMITTED THE ENGINE WAS BURNING OIL AND I WOUND UP HAVING TO PAY $1000.00 TO TARE DOWN THE ENGINE AND $250.00 TO FLUSH OUT THE TRANSMISSION (EVEN THOUGH THEY DID NOT FIND A TRANSMISSION ISSUE FOR A 7TH TIME). THEY TOLD ME THE CYLINDERS WERE NOT SCORED AND WERE FINE SO THEY CHANGED THE PISTONS AND RINGS. SUPPOSEDLY THE SAID THE JOB COST $3600 +. MY A-- HOW NICE OF THEM, (NOT). BEING I PAID FOR THE TARE DOWN YOUR TELLING ME PISTONS AND RINGS COST $3600. BS, STILL TO EARLY TO SEE IF THE ENGINE IS STILL BURNING OIL. AND HERE'S THE KICKER-(THE CAR ONLY HAS 50,000 MILES ON IT AND I HAD A 6 YEAR 60,000 MILE WARRANTY ON IT). SO NOW I AM STILL STUCK WITH THIS TRANSMISSION ISSUE WHICH THEY DO NOT HAVE AN ANSWER FOR. ANY SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT I SHOULD DO NEXT. AND GOING BACK TO CHEVY IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE ANSWER UNLESS IT'S IN FRONT OF A JUDGE. ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO E-MAIL ME.

I HAD JUST EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT WAITING TO TURN LEFT, WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED I STEPPED ON THE THROTTLE LIKE NORMAL AND THE TRANSMISSION REVVED UP, CLUNKED INTO GEAR STARTED ROLLING AND THEN BEGAN TO SHUDDER & VIBRATE. I HAD ONLY BEEN ABLE TO MOVE ABOUT 10 FEET. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AS THE CAR FELT LIKE IT WOULD SHAKE IT SELF TO PIECES. AT THIS POINT SOMEONE ALMOST BACK ENDED ME. I THEN STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR AGAIN AND DIDN'T MOVE THE ENGINE JUST REVVED AND THEN ANOTHER LARGE CLUNK AND THE CAR POPPED INTO GEAR JERKED FORWARD ALMOST CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR. IF THERE WERE POOR WEATHER CONDITIONS I FEEL THIS TRANSMISSION ISSUE WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. *TR
