2003 Chevrolet Monte Carlo review from North America
"Probably not worth the cost"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Just had to pay $530.00 to replace the Body Control Module after replacing the battery. Basically the car died and the dealership first told us that the computer would need to be reset for $150 but, after hooking the car to the diagnostic machine, low and behold, $520. Also, the brakes have squeaked since the day we bought it. Was told at the time that the metal brake pads will do that.
General comments?
It's a nice car, but, when something goes wrong, it get pricey. Talked to GM about problems with car and they tell you to take it to a dealership and pay to get it fixed.
