Common Chevrolet Monte carlo problems
The Chevrolet Monte Carlo is a luxury coupe that was discontinued in 2007. While it was a popular car, it had its fair share of problems. One of the most common issues was electrical problems, especially with the turn signals. According to CarComplaints.com, the 2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo had the most overall complaints, but the 2005 model year was rated as worse due to other factors such as higher repair costs and more problems at lower mileage.
Another common problem with the Chevrolet Monte Carlo was transmission pressure control solenoid failure, which caused erratic shifting. This was a significant issue for many Monte Carlo owners, as it affected their ability to drive the car safely. Additionally, the speedometer or other instrument panel gauges may fail, which could lead to further safety concerns.
The 5th generation Monte Carlo (1995-1999) had its own set of problems, including leaking coolant and intake manifold gasket failure.
The Monte Carlo's "Passlock Security" system was also a significant issue for many owners.
The blower motor resistor was another common problem in the Monte Carlo, particularly in the 2000-2003 models.
Overall, the Chevrolet Monte Carlo had several common problems that affected various model years. These issues ranged from electrical problems to transmission failures and cooling system issues. While the Monte Carlo was a popular car, these problems may have contributed to its discontinuation in 2007.

Chevrolet Monte carlo 2007
- Date Of Incident: 2020-01-01
- Date Complaint: 2024-03-12
- Fire: 1
- VIN: 2G1WL15C779
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING,VISIBILITY/WIPER
- Summary: The cable harness in question runs from the fuse box under hood through firewall to the passenger side foot area. At this point it connects to another harness that connects to various items at the rear of the vehicle. One circuit in particular the rear window defogger is burning wiring and socket and plug of the two wiring harness. Either the wiring or connectors burned apart without the circuit fuse blowing. The circuit has a 40amp fuse. The wiring harness for this circuit is 12 Garage. I can't find any manufacturer who recommends using 12 gauge wire on a 40 Amp circuit. This isn't even close to being correct. This is so agreegessly out of specification it would appear GM knew they had an issue with the circuit and fixed it By over fusing the circuit. This same issue on multiple models over several years.
Chevrolet Monte carlo 2005
- Date Of Incident: 2024-01-09
- Date Complaint: 2024-01-09
- VIN: 2G1WX12K559
- Components: SERVICE BRAKES
- Summary: I have had numerous lights, noise, continuously for the last 7 years have replaced numerous parts, only to last awhile then the lights, noise return. Seems there is no cure for this malfunctioning problem, have heard GM is aware of these problems but have never received a letter regarding them, the anti-lock traction control braking system on these cars are headaches and troublesome, and expensive with no cure in sight, have spent tons of money on these problems, still keep having them.
Chevrolet Monte carlo 2002
- Date Of Incident: 2024-01-04
- Date Complaint: 2024-01-07
- VIN: 2G1WX15K329
- Components: FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: My car has the engine 3.1 L automatic. On January 4, I was going to go run errands so I went out to my car and cranked it to start the engine but instead, I heard a loud explosion, causing the front tires of the car to go up in the air and then land back on the ground. Smoke started coming out from the hood and a fire almost got started. I was scared to half to death causing me to almost have a heart attack. Morning inspection, I found that the intake manifold had exploded on the car and pieces of it were all over the engine. I feel that the pressure regulator may have been the culprit, but the plastic upper intake just literally blew up. Nobody was injured neighbors came out to see what the explosion had been, the window on my windshield cracked and major damage has been done to the Plenum. I have pictures but I’ve been unable to upload them but they are available. If you need them I went to Mission Chevrolet where I purchased the car but was referred to contact you in general. no recalls sent over this issue, but have I been driving when the explosion occurred it may have caused fatalities to myself, and perhaps other drivers on the freeway.

- Date Of Incident: 2023-12-23
- Date Complaint: 2023-12-23
- VIN: 2G1WK15N879

Chevrolet Monte carlo 2003
- Date Of Incident: 2023-01-13
- Date Complaint: 2023-12-10
- VIN: 2G1WX12K339
- Components: ENGINE
- Summary: The service manager told me the Engine cover will be removed and NOT replaced. This downgrades the vehicle as the engine cover is part of the appearance element and gives a certain amount of protection to some components and wiring harnesses. It will soon be a Classic and the engine cover is part of the original equiptment that needs to be on it. There is NO logical reason the valve cover gasket cannot be replaced AND keep the engine cover in place. Thank you for your help.

Chevrolet Monte carlo 2006
- Date Of Incident: 2022-02-22
- Date Complaint: 2022-03-27
- VIN: 2G1WL16C669
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,SERVICE BRAKES
- Summary: These issues have been spotadic since I aquired the vehicle in october of 2021. Not infrequently the ABS system feels like it is trying to engage at low speeds with light braking such as in a parking lot. This also happens after coasting(no gas, no brake no cruise control))and then accelerating The radio will randomly stop playing or begin playing. The turn signal indicator chimes randomly stop chiming when the turn signal is in use though the interioir indicator light will flash normally. I have not been able to stop when this occurs with the turn signal still active to get out and verify it the turn signal is actually working At random times a loud clacking sound will come from behind the dash in the general vicinity of the radio and there will be no out put from the dash vents until the clacking stops. The use of any controls whether radio or climate does not seem to cause this nor will it stop it. Actuator doorb and/or solenoid perhaps?

Vehicle year: 2001
Love my Monte Carlo. This car looks great and is a joy to drive. Although I have had to have the fuel injection system serviced 3 times already, it hasn't dampened my enthusiasm for this car!
-
Vehicle year: 2002
I've had my SS for two weeks now, and I absolutely love it. Coming from my 1999 Honda Accord, this car has more pickup and better handling. It's also surprisingly roomy inside for a coupe, and the trunk is spacious enough for me to add my subs while still having access to the spare tire.
-
Vehicle year: 2002
I needed a third car as a spare and to help lower fuel costs for in-city driving. After doing some research, I started looking for a car that was easy to park. I ended up paying $13,500 for a car with 34,000 miles and a 3.99% interest rate. If you take the time to do your homework, you can save thousands!

Vehicle year: 1996
The only big problem was the alternator. The car handles like a mix between a sports car and a luxury car.

Vehicle year: 1995
Hi there! I hope you're doing well. I wanted to let you know about this great car I have for sale. It's a V-6 engine and the exterior is a beautiful dark blue color. There are only 2 or 3 very small dings on the doors, but nothing major. The windows are in great condition with no cracks. This car has never been in an accident and has always been garaged, so it's in excellent shape. The interior is also in very good condition, with all the power accessories and air conditioning working perfectly. The tires and brakes are in good condition too. Let me know if you're interested!
Are you having problems with your Chevrolet Monte carlo?
Keenan Orn 2024-11-23
Vehicle year: 2002
I am extremely disappointed with this car. As a long-time buyer of North American cars, I had high expectations, but unfortunately, this car did not meet them. The interior console peeled, and I had to argue with the dealership to get it replaced. Additionally, the paint is peeling in large chunks in the wheel wells, which I have heard is a common issue, and it is taking the side body paint with it. The car is also covered in paint pops, which are clearly a result of coating failure, despite the dealer's claims. As a former paint chemist, I can confidently say that GM should be ashamed of putting such poor quality on the road. The fact that they have done nothing about it speaks volumes about their commitment to their customers. Going forward, I can no longer trust this car manufacturer.
Cortez Sporer 2024-11-20
Vehicle year: 1996
This car has unfortunately experienced several issues within a short period of time. However, we have taken the necessary steps to address these problems, including rebuilding the engine and transmission, replacing the Theftlock system, and installing a new alternator. We are confident that these repairs will ensure the car's reliability and longevity in the future.
Chelsey McCullough 2024-11-03
Vehicle year: 1997
I have had a challenging experience with my latest car purchase. Despite investing a significant amount of money, the car has not performed as expected. Unfortunately, mechanics have been unable to resolve the issues with the motor, and I have received a low trade-in offer. I have had to replace several parts, including the motor, fuel pump, water pump, timing belt, thermostat, and alternator. The back brakes are also in need of repair, and the strut is broken. Additionally, the transmission is weak, and the car's fuel efficiency has decreased. Despite these setbacks, I remain committed to finding a solution to these issues.
Carmine McKenzie 2024-10-29
Vehicle year: 2002
I have only had this car for 5 weeks, and unfortunately, I have experienced several issues. Firstly, there was a jerky transmission due to a computer problem. Secondly, the trunk wouldn't close properly. Thirdly, the car suddenly stopped running at 40 m.p.h. Lastly, there were several interior rattles. It is disappointing that this car is built with cheap and flimsy materials. Additionally, the sound system is not up to par. In my opinion, Ford provides better quality materials and their fit and finish is superior to GM. Quality is job 1.
Stanley Bruen 2024-10-26
Vehicle year: 2006
Although I am sorry to hear about your disappointment with your 2006 Monte Carlo purchase, I must assert that Chevy has made significant improvements to their newer models. While I understand that the interior of the 2006 model may not have met your expectations, I can assure you that the newer models have much more to offer in terms of comfort and elegance. I encourage you to consider giving Chevy another chance in the future.
