I HAVE A 2003 CHEVY MONTE CARLO SS. ON JULY 31, 2009 THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE ON AN ENTRY RAMP ONTO THE GARDEN STATE PARKWAY. I LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKING BUT WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT SEVERAL WEEKS THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL INTERMITTENTLY EITHER AT STOP LIGHTS, APPROACHING STOP LIGHTS/SIGNS, WHILE TURNING IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS OR WHILE HIGHWAY DRIVING. I INITIALLY TOOK IT UPON MYSELF TO POP THE HOOD AND SEE IF THERE WERE ANY OBVIOUS ISSUES. I NOTED A LEAKING FUEL FITTING THAT WOULD SPEW FUEL WHEN MOVED AROUND IN THE SLIGHTEST. I BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER. THEY REPLACED THE WHOLE FUEL LINE (I WAS TOLD THEY CANNOT JUST REPLACE THE LITTLE PLASTIC FITTING), THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM WAS 'SERVICED' AND I WAS TOLD MY STEERING COLUMN...

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO. AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT NOTICED OIL PRESENT ON THE CARPORT FLOOR. TWO DEALERS DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS A BLOWN OIL FILTER, WHICH COULD NOT HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY A POTHOLE. AFTER PERFORMING AN INTERNAL DIAGNOSTIC AND ENGINE OIL TESTS, THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VALVES WERE STICKING IN THE FUEL PUMP AND THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE REPAIRS WOULD COST OVER $4,000. THE MANUFACTURER AGREED TO CALL THE CONTACT BY MARCH 31, 2008 TO ASSIST HER WITH RESOLVING THE ISSUES; HOWEVER, THE REPAIRS WOULD BE THE DEALER'S RESPONSIBILITY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,027 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 46,000.
