1996 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Electrical system Problems

“Reocurring electrical problems. The car has not been driven even 100 miles the last year and a half because it wont pass inspection. The emission system has gone out. Since we've had the car we've had to replace the ignition system and the windows kept going off track. As of now the passenger side window will not go up. I cant afford to get it fixed since I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure and I'm on permanent disability through social security.”

“Vehicle supposedly has 100,000 mile spark plugs installed, but spark plug cables failed below 60,000 miles. Contacted Chevrolet and they told me it was because how I had them routed, and I had never moved or touched them since I had bought the car new. I was really upset with their explanation, or excuse . And to have an alternator go bad at 76,000 miles, I don't think so.”

“This car has had electrical problems since it was new. It has been in for repeat repairs since under warranty. Now that the warranty is over, GM has taken the position that they will not help in the repairs of this car. What happen to applied warranties on repairs to cars. They are refusing to take responsibilits with this cars failures. …”

“Engine check light comes on, car runs rough, engine speed varies with fast idle, engine stops while car is moving - loss of power steering and brakes, hard to start - takes several tries, random engine surging - 3 near misses - engine will speed up to 3000 RPM without warning.”

“There seems to be a problem with this vehicle which is causing the car not to hold a tune-up. At 38,839 miles, #3 spark plug was replaced - oil leaking past pcv valve, the pcv valve was replaced. Shortly after #1 and #2 spark plugs had to be replaced.”
