2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Exterior lighting Problems

“On several occasions I have lost the use of my turn signals. It is very intermittent. A few times they have come back on, but most times not. I tried to compress the prongs holding the fuse, but the signals again failed a week or so later. They're working now, but I never know when they won't. In heavy traffic, this could be a serious problem.”

“On my 2001 Monte Carlo I have intermittent turn signal lights. They work when they want to. Had the issue a few a handful of time under warranty dealer never could make it fail now it happens daily. I have read hundreds of similar complaints on auto websites about all models of chevy with these problems and all chevy wants to do is replace the signal switch for $400 plus dollars per car. Based on what I have read it seems that a serious investigation into this for a possible recall is warranted.”

“I have a 2001 Monte Carlo ss that I purchased about 4 years ago today. My complaint is about the turn signals not operating all the time. They will shut off while you make a turn while traffic is behind you, hopefully I will not get rear-ended some day. This has been happening for several years now and the people whom I spoke with also have own a Monte Carlo ss complain about this to. So I am not the only one that's having this problem. This is a very dangerous mechanical defect and needs special attention asap before some one gets injured or killed. …”

“Traffic signals constantly fail to work, used to be able to push hazard light button and they would come back on, now hazard lights won't work either. Have almost had 4 accidents because blinkers failed to work, have almost been cited by the local police until I proved it was a mechanical failure. Can't afford the cost of repair, because I had to pay out of my pocket for catalytic converter replacement when it failed, though it was a manufacturer defect, because gmc and dealer wouldn't make it good, and the engine shut down completely.”

“Over the past couple of months we have noticed that the turn signals on our 2001 Monte Carlo have started failing. They will be fine sometimes, and then out of the blue they will stop working. This problem sometimes lasts for just a few minutes, and recently we have gone for days without them working. After calling several dealerships and local mechanics we have learned that they have fixed alot of this problems, and are getting complaints about these turn signals. One gentleman told us it could be the hazard switch, but probably is the turn signal. …”
