NHTSA Complaint #10564631 — 2002 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO

SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE 2002 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO SS. I HAVE EXPERIENCED MANY GLITCHES WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN THIS CAR. FIRST OF ALL THE CRUISE CONTROL LIGHT WOULD COME ON WITHOUT BEING SELECTED AND THEN I WOULD BEGIN TO NOTICE THAT IF THE CRUISE CONTROL LIGHT WAS ON THE HEATING/COOLING SYSTEM WOULD NOT COME ON. THE TURN SIGNALS WOULD NOT OPERATE. I ALSO BEGAN TO NOTICE THAT THE ANTI THEFT SYSTEM WOULD ENGAGE AND SHUT DOWN THE CAR PREVENTING IT FROM STARTING UP. THE IGNITION WOULD JUST CLICK BUT NEVER ENGAGE. THIS HAS CONTINUE TO HAPPEN OFF AND ON FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS. I HAVE REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR, THE BATTERY, THE STARTER. THE COOLING FANS, THE THERMOSTAT AND SERVICED OTHER AREAS BUT THIS STILL HAPPENS. I FOUND OUT THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THE 2002 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO SS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I PURCHASED MY CAR USED BUT THERE ARE OWNER WHO PURCHASED THEIR VEHICLES NEW AND HAVE CONTINUOUSLY EXPERIENCED ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS WITH THEIR VEHICLES AS WELL. I FEEL GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SHODDY WORKMANSHIP THEY DID ON THIS VEHICLE FROM THE DATE IT WAS MANUFACTURED. *TR
