My car will not turn all the way off to be able to remove the keys from the ignition. I understand there IS a recall on 2000 models and up. And there IS a recall for the same issue on the 1999 lumina - but not on the monte carlo, given that the mc IS so similar to the lumina, I think there has been a mistake not including the mc. It has happened on several different occasions and IS getting worse. I believe the 1999 should be included in the recall also. Please let me know, thank you. If you are not the right people please point me in the right direction. *tr

I started to hear a slight clicking sound when I pressed on my brakes, only every once in a while, like the sound I would hear when I would hit a pot hole in the road while I was braking and my "low traction" light would come on. It progressively had started to get worse over the course of the month. I have had two garages look at my car, and they cannot figure out what IS making the repeated and very evident clicking sound everytime the brakes are touched. I have had a diagnostic test done on the car and no codes are showing up. they say it could be the ABS module, but they are not sure, and that I would have to bring it to the dealership to have it investigated further. they were (the garages) both puzzled at what this sound would be caused by. *Tr

I opened the hood and the top of the engine was on fire. taco bell employees called 911 and then provided a fire extinguisher. the fire was put out by the extinguisher and they cancelled the 911 call. I called a tow company and had the car towed home due to the hour and my engine being melted. *Tr

I have just found out that my 3.1 litre also has had the intake manifold gasket go bad. The car only has 57,000 miles. Like others here it IS going to cost me $450 to get it fixed. Gm needs to step up and create a recall or at least pay to have a new gasket installed. It IS my belief that it all stems from dexcool. I have known several people that have had or are having the same problem. *Jb

We were preparing to take a long trip and took our 1999 monte carlo into our mechanic for a pre-trip once-over. He just called and informed us that the radiator was almost empty and that there IS a leak in the intake manifold gasket, it can (and will) be fixed for a cost of $750.00. Our mechanic has a small shop and he has fixed the same problem at least once a month on gm products with a 3.1 liter engine, he just had a buick last week with the identical problem. Doesn't anybody else see this as an issue that gm needs to take some kind of action about?? We would have been livid if this car had broken down in the desert on the way to las vegas!! We were really happy with this vehicle, but now plan to sell it and we will be looking for something witout a recurring problem of this magnitude! *Ak

Ea02-030 IS closed with gmea02-030 IS closed with gm?s actions in 03v-473 and 04v-090 recalling approximately 529,000 my 1998-99 c- and h-body vehicles equipped with defective fuel pressure regulators.these vehicles were equipped with plastic intake manifolds that are unable to contain pressures that occur in some backfire events and defective fuel pressure regulators with leaking diaphragms that can provide a source of fuel to produce a combustible air-fuel mixture in the manifold.the closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by odi that no safety defect exists in the vehicles that are not included in gm?s recalls.odi will continue to monitor the incidence of manifold ruptures and related fires in other my 1995-2002 gm passenger cars equipped with the subject intake manifold.for additional information, see the attached closing report.
