NHTSA Complaint #10114436 — 2000 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO

EFFECTS OF PROBLEMS DUE TO HEAD GASKETS AND INTAKE MANIFOLD: (1)BURNING SMELL COMING FROM THE ENGINE; (2)MINOR BREATHING PROBLEMS, DIZINESS, AND LIGHTHEADEDNESS; (3)SOAR THROAT IRRITATION AND TIREDNESS WHILE DRIVING. *AK (4)CAUSES HEAVY USE OF GAS, BAD GAS MILAGE, AND COOLANT IS USED UP VERY QUICKLY AND BECOMES BROWN AND SLIMEY. SOLUTION: I WAS TOLD THAT 2000 CHEVY MONTE CARLO'S HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE GASKETS AND INTAKE MANIFOLDS. NUMEROUS 2000 MODELS SEEM TO HAVE THIS ISSUE BUT WERE NEVER RECALLED. MY WARRANTY COMPANY PAID FOR THE PARTS TO BE FIXED IT JUST NEVER SEEMS TO BE CORRECTED RIGHT. HOWEVER, I FEEL IT IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS AND COULD BE A SAFETY PROBLEM CAUSING PEOPLE TO FALL ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL. THE BURNING SMELL THAT COMES FROM THE GASKETS IS VERY ODOROUS, CAUSES DIZZINESS, BREATHING IRRITATION/PROBLEMS AND IF IT DOES THIS TO AN ADULT I COULD ONLY IMAGINE THE DAMAGE IT COULD DO TO A CHILD. IT ALSO MAKES YOU TIRED. I FOUGHT TO STAY AWAKE BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM.
