Common 2005 Chevrolet Monte carlo problems
The 2005 Chevrolet Monte Carlo has been reported to have several common problems based on complaints from owners. Here are some of the most frequently mentioned issues:
- Intake Manifold Gasket May Leak Engine Oil: Another common problem with the 2005 Monte Carlo is the intake manifold gasket, which may leak engine oil. This issue can lead to a decrease in engine performance and can potentially cause significant damage to the engine if left unaddressed.
- Engine Oil Consumption: Some owners have reported that their 2005 Monte Carlo consumes excessive amounts of engine oil. This issue can be caused by engine block cylinder bore damage, scoring, or out-of-round conditions. If left unaddressed, this issue can lead to engine misfire, cylinder leakage, or blow-by.
- Transmission Issues: Transmission problems have been reported by some owners of the 2005 Monte Carlo. These issues include slamming into gear, which can be a significant safety concern. Transmission slamming can cause the car to suddenly jolt forward or backward, potentially causing accidents.
- Electrical System Issues: Electrical system problems have been reported by some owners of the 2005 Monte Carlo. These issues include problems with the instrument panel cluster, which can prevent the actual mileage from being programmed on the odometer. This issue can be a significant inconvenience and can potentially affect the resale value of the car.
- Oil Indicator Illuminated: Some owners of the 2005 Monte Carlo have reported that the oil indicator illuminates in the instrument panel, even when there is no actual issue with the oil pressure. This issue can be a significant concern, as it may cause the owner to unnecessarily worry about the car's engine.
- No Power or No Connect Concern: Some owners of the 2005 Monte Carlo have reported that the car may have a no power or no connect concern. This issue can be caused by a problem with the OnStar system, and it can prevent the car from starting or operating properly.
These are some of the most common problems reported by owners of the 2005 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. It is essential to address these issues promptly to prevent further damage and ensure the safety of the vehicle.
Why won't my 2005 Monte Carlo start?
The most common reasons a Chevrolet Monte Carlo won't start are a dead battery, an alternator problem, or failed starter.
Why is Monte Carlo so special?
Monte Carlo is situated on a prominent escarpment at the base of the Maritime Alps along the French Riviera. Near the quarter's western end is the "world-famous Place du Casino, the gambling center ... that has made Monte Carlo an international byword for the extravagant display and reckless dispersal of wealth".
Are Monte Carlos reliable?
The car is very reliable driven to California and Vegas the ride still solid and interior of car are like new. It has plenty of power love my Monte Carlo its a sporty car driving if Chevy brought back these cars again would buy another.
Why did they stop making Monte Carlo?
The Monte Carlo was discontinued by Chevy due to poor sales and declining performance. Actually, the model was canceled twice, once in 1989 and again in 2008, as buyers were no longer interested in the front-wheel drive cars that carried the Monte Carlo nameplate but no connection to its history.

- Summary: KEY FOB QUIT WORKING. I USE THE KEY TO MANUALLY UNLOCK CAR. HOWEVER, AFTER CAR IS PARKED AND OFF, THE DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK THEMSELVES. THE FRONT AND REAR LIGHTS FLASH WHILE DOORS LOCKING AND UNLOCKING. THE OTHER NIGHT, IT WAS FLASHING MORSE CODE FOR OVER 24HOURS. I DO NOT HAVE ON STAR CONNECTED. HORN QUIT WORKING 4 MONTHS RIGHT BEFORE KEY FOB QUIT. I CAN'T USE MY BRIGHT LIGHTS, BECAUSE I LOSE DASH LIGHTS, HEAD LIGHTS. MY SON AND I SHARE THIS CAR TO DRIVE TO WORK. SINCE THE LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING ALL DAY AND NIGHT, I FELT IT IS UNSAFE FOR HIM TO DRIVE TO WORK WHICH IS 40 MILES ONE WAY. WHY SO MANY ISSUES THAT ARE NOT BEING TAKEN SERIOUS? I DRIVE MY CAR DURING DAY TIME. I PRAY I MAKE IT TO WORK. I HAVE TO DRIVE 9 MILES ONE WAY TO WORK. HOWEVER, I DRIVE HIGHWAY 75 WITH SEMI TRUCKS GOING 70 MILES AN HOUR. IF THIS CAR LOSES POWER ON THAT HIGHWAY, I WILL PROBABLY NOT SURVIVE. UNSAFE AND NOT RELIABLE VEHICLE. CHEVY SHOULD HELP US MONTE CARLO OWNERS GET THEM FIXED. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2009-03-01
- VIN: 2G1WW12E859
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: I BEGAN HAVING TROUBLE WITH THIS CAR A FEW MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED IT. I CAN'T DRIVE THE CAR AT NIGHT WITH THE LIGHTS ON BRIGHT, BECAUSE WHEN I DO THE LIGHTS SHUT COMPLETELY OFF AND THE ONLY WAY TO GET THEM TO COME BACK ON IS TO FLIP THE DIMMER SWITCH. I HAVE BEEN ON THE INTERSTATE AND HIGHWAY BOTH, DRIVING THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED. THIS PROBLEM, IN MY OPINION IS A BIG HAZARD AND VERY UNSAFE. I HAD TO HAVE THE CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH REPLACED, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL REPLACED, BECAUSE IT FAILED COMPLETELY WHILE I WAS GOING ON VACATION, I HAD NO IDEA HOW MUCH GAS WAS IN MY CAR OR WHAT SPEED I WAS GOING ALL GAUGES WERE OUT OF WHACK. THE CAR SMELLS LIKE GASOLINE, I'VE TAKEN THIS TO THE DEALER AUTO REPAIR SHOP, THEY CLAIM THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH THEY COULD SMELL THE GAS BOTH ON THE OUTSIDE AND INSIDE OF CAR. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE KEY, I TOOK INTO DEALER AND THEY PUT A COVER OVER THE OLD KEY, I PERSONALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE CARE OF WHATEVER THE PROBLEM WAS. I HAVE NOTICED THAT OTHERS ON HERE HAVE LISTED SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS CAR. WHAT I'D LIKE TO KNOW IS, IF THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS WITH THESE CARS, WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL ISSUED? I CAN'T SPEAK FOR ANYONE ELSE, BUT I PAID HARD EARNED MONEY FOR THIS CAR AND I'M SICK AND TIRED OF HAVING TO CONSTANTLY REPAIR STUFF, WHICH SEEMS TO BE A BIG PROBLEM ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL. I THINK SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR WORSE. AND IT SHOULDN'T TAKE SOMEONE'S LIFE BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT THIS.

Negative 2005 Chevrolet Monte carlo car reviews
Positive 2005 Chevrolet Monte carlo car reviews
-
The new Chevrolet Monte Carlo that I recently purchased is both sporty and practical. I use it to grocery shop and take long drives to visit friends, for example. It gets good gas mileage and has plenty of pickup off of starts. I'm really happy with my purchase so far.
-
I have had my Supercharged SS for just over 2 months and I absolutely love it! It's such a blast to drive and it always turns heads wherever I go. I did a lot of research before buying the Monte Carlo, and I'm so glad I made the decision I did. While it may not be the most fuel-efficient car out there, its stunning appearance and impressive speed more than make up for it!
-
A very well built, solid car. It has a great ride and excellent fuel mileage. The comfort and features are what you would expect in a $30K car, but at $22K it's a steal. Plus, it has a large trunk space and the feel of a full-size car with sports car handling.
-
This car has exceeded all of my expectations and continues to put a smile on my face. As someone who has driven pick-up trucks for most of my life, I recently traded in my Dodge truck for this car and I couldn't be happier. I am getting an impressive 33 MPG on my highway trips, and the car has more than enough power to play around with. The interior is simple yet highly functional, with plenty of room for my 6' frame. I absolutely love this car!
-
This is my first sports car. I'm so excited to finally have one, and I chose the Monte Carlo. I absolutely love the new look, and it's a spacious two-door coupe with plenty of room inside. Plus, it's an American-made car, and I'm all about supporting our homegrown products. The Monte Carlo is such a fun car, and it always turns heads - especially with the ladies!

The vehicle seems to have some trouble in rainy weather, hydroplaning even at low speeds. It may not be the best choice for winter or rainy weather, but it could be a great option for spring and summer.

Congratulations on your new car! It's always exciting to purchase a car that you've had your eye on for a while. The Monte Carlo is a great choice, and I can understand why you fell in love with its unique style. It's great to hear that the ride is smooth and your passengers have enjoyed it too. Learning about all the new technology can be overwhelming, but I'm sure you'll get the hang of it in no time. Enjoy your new car and all the adventures that come with it!
