“I own a 2006 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, the tire pressure low system malfunctions without any notice, if my car were a impala GM would fix it but since it is a discontinued model they refuse to do anything. There is a great deal of discussion on the net about this issue along with remote start/ lock problem from what I understand that is a problem they do not honor.”
NHTSA complaint #10386932, filed 2011-03, 40,000 miles“My vehicle's tpm system was not reset correctly after tire rotation and gave a false reading to the tire being low, when in fact it wasn't reading the right tires pressure. After using manual tire pressure gauge, it was discovered that the tire I was inflating was over 65psi 2006 Chevrolet Monte Carlo ss.”
NHTSA complaint #10235332, filed 2008-07, 19,000 miles“Tire monitor system failed from day one. It has now been 5 months with no fix available. Affects the remote locks and starter as well. Need to be within 10 feet of car for it to work. Have had it in 3 times and they state they are waiting for a fix and bulletin. Help correct this someone. The dealer is getting no help from Chevrolet at all. Bad practice. I have own Chevrolet for 25 years with not having this much trouble fixing an issue. My dealer is always great it is on the other end they need help.”
NHTSA complaint #10180919, filed 2007-01, 200 miles“Tire monitor system does not work. Dealer and Chevrolet both say they are aware of the problem and no fix is available. Both made it sound like a very recent problem but after some research of my own including your site, I have found consumers have been complaining of this defect for almost a year now. Are we to just to continue to drive a inferior vehicle, lacking in my case anyway, a feature that was a major part of my decision to purchase this vehicle? I don't know and apparently Chevrolet doesn't either. Shame on Chevrolet. …”
