“Our 2000 Monte Carlo supersport was parked and had been off for approximately 15 minutes. Before that, it had been driven for approximately 30 minutes and parked for about an hour. 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.”

NHTSA complaint #8004052, filed 2002-02“Driver side seatback does not lock. Dealer advised consumer that driver's side seat would only lock up on impact. Only way for a passenger to enter or exit rear seats is if driver's side seat is pulled up. Please additional information.”
NHTSA complaint #895464, filed 2001-08“Leather seats: the quailty of the leather was poor to say the least. Dealer did replace the rear seat after repeated complaints. Speed control: at about 40,000 miles, speed control makes audible sound upon engaging or disengaging. Dealer replaced speed control module and this did not stop the problem. Interior: the coating on the dash board is peeling. Steering: makes aut\dible snapping ni\oise when turning. Dealer cannot find problem. Transmission: engine cuts out when under load at 1800 -2500 RPM on hills. Tachometer jumps up and down. …”
