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.

There was no warning light illuminated. The contact restarted the vehicle; however, the failure returned soon after restart.

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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

Latest negative Chevrolet Monte carlo car reviews

  1. Ryder Grimes 2025-05-26

    Vehicle year: 2000

    When I first bought my car, I was really excited because there weren't too many of them around. Although it had a few problems at first, they were all covered under my warranty. The fuel filter leaked and it needed a rear strut, but those were quickly taken care of. At first, it shifted great, but now at around 125000 miles, it's a bit rough. However, it's still a powerful car for being a large sedan, with a 0-60 time of about 8 seconds. Plus, you can bypass the governor if you need to - just quickly put it in neutral and back into gear. Overall, I'm really happy with my purchase!

    Hi there! I wanted to let you know that there has been a recall on the spark plugs and emissions of your car. The good news is that you can get these issues fixed at any Chevrolet dealership. I have had some trouble with my car as well, including four alternator replacements, which can be quite expensive. Luckily, my husband is a mechanic and was able to save me $400 in labor charges. Despite these issues, I still love my car. I have also had to replace the air conditioner and fuel pump. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns!

    When we first bought the car with just 11,000 miles, we were really excited about it. Unfortunately, we've had some issues with it since then. The check engine light came on and nothing seemed to work, but we were able to fix it by turning it off and back on again. We also had some trouble with the heater and air conditioning, which eventually stopped working altogether. Additionally, we experienced two leaks in the power steering line and the transmission would sometimes stall and then lunge forward. We reached out to Chevrolet for help, but unfortunately, they were not very helpful. While there was a recall on 2006 and 2007 Monte Carlos for the power steering leakage, there was nothing for the 2007 model. There was a technical service bulletin on the transmission, which could cause a serious accident, but again, nothing for the 2007 model. The dealer suggested that it was a crimped line, but we were not convinced. Despite these issues, we are hopeful that we can find a solution and get the car back to its former glory.

    I have experienced several issues with my Z34 since purchasing it in February, including oil leaks, window motor, thermostat, vacuum hoses, emissions problems, and timing belt. Unfortunately, I am now also experiencing transmission problems. Despite the fact that my car has only 71,000 miles on it, I am extremely frustrated with these ongoing issues and concerned about its future reliability.

    Looks unique, but let me tell you, it's not the most powerful car out there. The 3.4 L model will get you from point A to point B, but don't expect to win any races with this engine. On the bright side, the front seat is quite comfortable. However, I did have to replace some cheap parts which cost me a bit of money. Unfortunately, the engine also blew a head gasket, which is a known issue with this model, and it cost me $700 to fix. Overall, it's an okay car, but if you're looking for something with more power, you might want to keep looking.

    I was in search of a car that was affordable, fuel-efficient, and not a rust bucket. After test driving several cars, I stumbled upon a 2003 Monte Carlo SS with 112,000 miles on it. As someone from a G.M family, I have always loved the 3800. Although a Monte Carlo is not my favorite car, it seemed to offer exactly what I was looking for. I was pleasantly surprised by how solid and classy the car felt, with a touch of luxury and sportiness. It also has great highway mileage (30+), is comfortable, and has a good stereo CD/tape, temperature, and direction features. I am impressed with how well the car has stood the test of time, thanks to the previous owners who took good care of it. It may not have all the fancy gadgets that modern cars have, but it has everything I need. The car is dependable, comfortable, and drives like a dream. I am so impressed with it! The only downside is that the back seats are a bit tight. Overall, it's a super car!

    Wow, it's amazing to hear that you've driven your car for over 192,000 miles and still get 28 MPG on the highway! I'm impressed! I wonder how much better the mileage would be with a 5 or 6 speed auto? It's great to hear that you've been able to carry so many different things in your car, from ladders to vinyl flooring. It's a shame that they stopped making this model, but I'm sure you'll be able to find a great replacement when the time comes. Thanks for sharing your experience with us!

    Hi there! I just wanted to share my experience with this car. I absolutely love the body and look - it's everything I look for in a car! However, after driving it for 20 thousand miles, I noticed a slight feeling in the steering. Apparently, it had something to do with an addition to the steering column to comply with some sort of collapsing requirements. Luckily, the mechanic was aware of the problem and replaced the worn part under warranty. Shortly after, the driver's side seat heater stopped working, which was a bit of a bummer since I drive in all weather with the window open. Unfortunately, I won't be able to pay to have that fixed. Now, after 30 thousand miles, the feeling in the steering column has returned. I think it's time for another diagnostic check, but I hope it won't cost too much. Overall, I still really like the car and I plan on keeping it for a while.

    Great looks inside and out, (and gets plenty of looks too). Lots of get up and go in the Z34 package. It handles very well in the winter and rain. My only issue with this SWEET Machine is that it has only one cup holder.
