NHTSA Complaint #10356000 — 2000 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO

I HAVE A 2000 MONTE CARLO THAT I HAVE HAD FOR ONLY ABOUT A YEAR. I GOT THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED WITH A REMANUFACTURED ONE ABOUT A MONTH AGO. WHEN I GOT MY CAR BACK FROM COLEMAN TAYLOR THE ENGINE WAS MESSED UP. THE ENGINE NOW MAKES NOISE WHEN I CRANK IT AND IT SMOKES, SO I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. THE MANAGER AT COLEMAN TAYLOR INSISTS THAT HE DID NOT DAMAGE THE ENGINE AND DOES NOT KNOW WHY IT SUDDENLY HAS THESE PROBLEMS. I GOT THE CAR TOWED TO SUNRISE PONTIAC GMC FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT I GET THE MOTOR REPLACED. THE SPECIALISTS COULD NOT DETERMINE HOW THE DAMAGE WAS CAUSED. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR NOW DUE TO THE NOISE AND SMOKE FROM THE ENGINE. *TR
