2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Brakes Problems

“While driving my 2001 Monte Carlo ss at 65 miles per hour on the interstate the car would shut off on its own leaving no power steering, brakes, or power to anything. The car did this several times. I contacted GM directly when this started happening. Basically I was told too bad and they couldn't help me. June 5, 2014 summary history display store 01 servc01 total r/o's 1 total serv.

“I have a 2001 chevy Monte Carlo ss. I recently started getting a service traction control light coming on. Also, my ABS would engage at an inappropriate time. I would be easing to a stop and the ABS would kick in for no reason. I took it to the dealership and after paying about 1,000.00 to have the speed sensors replaced'.I have the same problem. After doing some internet searches I have found 'thousands' of similar complaints. Apparently it is a problem with the wiring harness that is incidentally a much less expensive fix. …”

“I took my Monte Carlo in at 25,000 miles for bad steering wheel vibrations when braking and brakes not holding in damp weather (either rain or car wash). The service consultant told me that whoever rotated my tires used the wrong torque when putting the wheels back on. He said that messed up my rotors. I told him that I had never rotated my tires. He said that my warranty wouldn't be honored because I had not rotated my tires. …”

“Every 15,000 to 17,000 I have to have the rotors turned because of warping. I have contacted the manufacters customer service and they sent back a standard form letter. After second time manufacturer told me they could not help and to make an appointment with my dealer. All they did was to turn the rotors no charge. That does not solve the problem. There has to be a defect. Just like one of the other complaints, all my driving is on the highway.”

“Brake rotors were turned by dealer in june 2004 at 43,000 miles. Steering wheel started shaking, had brakes checked, brakes were fine. Was told the front rotors were no good and needed to be replaced. This occured 3 months and 4,000 miles later. The dealer replaced the rotors, charged $205.00 (did not charge labor). I've noticed on this site many people have complained of the same problem. I've spent over $450.00 in 90 days for brake rotor issues.”
