NHTSA complaint #10074208, filed 2004-05, 125,000 miles“My 1995 Monte Carlo with the 3100 v6 had numerous problems since we bought it. We have replaced the EGR valve twice in a year, the water pump, the thermostat, the radiator, the radiator cap, and it still over heats to the point that the car shuts down and the hot light comes on in the car. I am at my wits end and I have paid so much money to get this figured out and no one seems to know why. I have had it tested for a head gasket leak and it shows nothing. There is air getting into the system from somewhere because it can be bled off. …”
NHTSA complaint #10019064, filed 2003-05“Internal loss of coolant started shortly after purchase. When I determined that it was an abnormal amount, the warranty was done. Car is presently down until I can afford the head gaskets replacement and possibly replacement of a cracked head. Upon state inspection, leaking rear wheel cylinders were discovered on both wheels. Also, both rear struts were determined to be faulty. Whenever it is very cold, the accelerator linkage sticks and I must shift to neutral to stop without sliding. …”
NHTSA complaint #717092, filed 2000-01“While changing the oil in my car, my husband noticed an oil leak. Took the car to a dealership, morris pontiac, and was informed that there was not specific area of leak, they stated that the engine itself is leaking and the engine will need to be sealed. They stated that to do that, they would have to totally tear down the engine and seal it completely. I feel with the small amount of miles on my car/engine this problem should not be. It seems since I have owned the vehicle I have had many major problems with the car, including replacing a transmission. …”
NHTSA complaint #756647, filed 2002-01“I've had a new starter replaced,alternator,radiator,power steering rack,and now it has an intake problem, can someone please help? Tired of spending money.
