(I WOULD HAVE TO FIND MY RECIEPTS TO VERIFY EXACTLY). BUT, BOTH TIMES THE CAR'S BLOWER MOTOR WAS ON FIRE !!! ALOT OF SMOKE, THICK ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL. A MAN CAME OVER TO HELP ME (AS I AM HANDICAPPED BY POLIO, AND COULD NOT GET OUT OF MY CAR MYSELF), AFTER IT HAD BEEN BURNING FOR ABOUT 1/2 HOUR , THE MAN POURED WATER INTO THE FIREWALL AREA THAT WAS BURNING, IT STILL TOOK ABOUT ANOTHER HALF HOUR TO TRY TO STOP THE FIRE. BUT ONLY THE FAN MOTOR AND CLOSE VACINITY BURNED. BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE IF THAT MAN HAD NOT COME ALONG AND POURED BOTTLE WATER ON IT REPEATEDLY FOR MANY, MANY TRIES BEFORE EXTINGUISHING THE FIRE. MY CAR WAS REPAIRED AT WHERE I PURCHASED THE MONTE CARLO NEW.". RIGHT NOW (6-20-11) I HAVE ONLY 28,000 MILES ON THIS 2005 MONTE CARLO. I HAVE ALSO, JUST HAD TO REPLACE THE WIPER MOTOR., A FEW WEEKS AGO. !!! THESE SHOULD BE RECALLED AND GM SHOULD HAVE TO MAKE THESE REPAIRS OR REFUND THE MONEY THAT PEOPLE LIKE ME HAVE ALREADY SHELLED OUT FOR THESE VERY COSTLY REPAIRS !!! NOW...I ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH MY SPEEDOMETER NOT WORKING RIGHT. AND GAS GAUGE, "THE ENTIRE CLUSTER IS BAD, AT AN APPROXIMATE COST OF AROUND $600.00 (SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS).
