“Abs and tac off light come on stay on and service traction system light comes on took to shop if didn't fix (meaning I have no antilock brakes and they thing its the ABS motor pump think) I wont be able to get a inspection sticker and they said it will cost 1600 to fix and went on web and seen many hundreds of 2002 monte owners are having the same problem.”

“My 2002 chevy Monte Carlo ss has a clunking sound coming from the steering, I had this fixed 2 1/2 years ago and it has been happening again now for about 8 months. I was waiting for a recall but have heard nothing yet.”
