Common 1999 Chevrolet Monte carlo problems
The 1999 Chevrolet Monte Carlo has several common problems reported by owners, which can be categorized into electrical, engine, cooling system, brakes, and transmission issues.
- Engine Problems: Engine stalling is a common complaint for the 1999 Monte Carlo. This issue can be caused by various factors, including faulty ignition switches, which led to a massive recall in 2014 affecting over 6.7 million vehicles, including the Monte Carlo.
- Cooling System Problems: The most common cooling system problem is leaking coolant due to intake manifold gasket failure. This issue has been reported 8 times for the 1999 Monte Carlo and 5 times for the 1996 Monte Carlo.
- Brake Problems: Certain Monte Carlos were produced with lower than specified torque on both front brake caliper-to-steering knuckle attachment bolts. This issue can lead to locking of the affected wheel during braking, abrupt steering input, reduced braking, noise from the affected wheel, or severing of a brake hose, which could cause a crash.
- Transmission Problems: Transmission slamming into gear is a common complaint for the 1999 Monte Carlo. This issue has been reported 10 times for the 2007 Monte Carlo.
These problems can lead to inconvenience, safety risks, and costly repairs. It is essential for Monte Carlo owners to be aware of these common issues and address them promptly to ensure the safety and reliability of their vehicles.

1999 Chevrolet Monte carlo recalls
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has issued 5 recalls for different components of the 1999 Chevrolet Monte carlo.

The affected vehicles were previously repaired under recalls 08V-118, 09V-116, and 15V-201 to address the possibility that engine oil may drip onto the hot exhaust manifold.
- Consequence: Engine oil that drips onto the hot surface of the exhaust manifold may result in a fire.
- Remedy: The remedy applied under recalls 08V-118, 09V-116, and 15V-201 did not adequately remove the safety risk. Under the improved remedy, dealers will replace the engines front valve cover and gasket. Vehicles that are covered by recalls 08V-118, 09V-116, or 15V-201 that have not yet received the original remedy will instead receive the improved remedy under the original recall number. The recall began on February 19, 2016. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300, Oldsmobile customer service at 1-800-442-6537 and Pontiac customer service at 1-800-458-8006.

- Consequence: THIS COULD INCREASE THE SEVERITY OF INJURY TO A PERSON WHO WAS NOT PROPERLY RESTRAINED AND WHO WAS CLOSE TO THE PASSENGER AIR BAG AT THE TIME OF DEPLOYMENT. IT COULD ALSO REDUCE THE AB8ILITY OF THE AIR BAG TO PROTECT A RESTRAINED FRONT SEAT PASSENGER.

Positive 1999 Chevrolet Monte carlo car reviews

I'm glad to hear that you've had a positive experience with your Monte Carlo! It's great to know that after replacing the brake pads, the car has been running smoothly and still has a lot of power even after reaching 100k miles. It sounds like you really enjoy driving it. If you're considering purchasing a Monte Carlo, I would highly recommend it based on your experience. It's worth noting that the car you currently own is an older body style, and I can't speak to the newer models that came out in 2000. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and happy driving!
-
I bought this car mostly for its looks, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that the gas mileage was very good (at 75 mph got 29.7 mpg). The engine performance has been satisfactory for the most part. I haven't noticed any rattles or squeaks, but I do think the ride could be a little less firm. The paint job is pretty, but I have found that it is surprisingly easy to scratch. It's not as durable as paints in the past.
-
This car has never been back to the dealer. You'll be happy to know that I do my own oil changes and inspections, and the original battery and brakes are still going strong. I just replaced the tires two months ago, so everything works like new. It's the best cornering full-sized car I've ever driven - it feels like it's on rails! Plus, the sound system is great, there's plenty of leg room, and the trunk is huge. It's a sleek black car, and it even reminds me of Dale Earnhardt. And if you're planning a trip to Las Vegas, you'll be pleased to hear that it gets 25 MPG on 80 MPH trips. Overall, it's a fantastic car that I'm sure you'll love!
-
Hi there! I just wanted to share that I absolutely love my car, but I've been having a bit of trouble with it lately. It seems to quit unexpectedly and despite changing a lot of parts, the issue persists. I was wondering if you might be able to offer any advice or assistance? Thank you so much!

After four years, there were a few minor problems that I couldn't fix myself. This car is used for my wife's commute, as she is a teacher.

I purchased my Monte Carlo in 1999 and have since experienced two instances of faulty manifold gaskets resulting in fluid leakage, as well as an issue with the EGR valve. Currently, with 100,000 miles as of 3-6-2003, the engine light is illuminated.

I have had my Monte Carlo for almost two years. Pretty good overall car. It's very reliable and I haven't had too many problems with it. However, the gas mileage is terrible in the city, I average about 18 mpg, much better on the road though. The hinge on the glove compartment broke, and braking in the rain was bad until I had the front fender liners trimmed. Overall I have been happy with the performance, never lost a race with any high-schoolers at stop lights with their Civics and Eclipses!

I owned this car for 4 years and it had a leather interior and 3.1L engine. As a driving enthusiast, I was a bit disappointed with its performance as it tended to roll around turns and was not as fast as I had hoped. However, it was incredibly reliable and started up every day without any issues. Despite how much I drove it, it held up pretty well. The leather interior was comfortable and made for a cozy coupe. It got about 17-18 miles per gallon in the city and looked great from certain angles.
