2000 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS review from North America

I purchased a 2000 Monte Carlo SS.

I really like the looks of the car.

But the problems seem to be "never ending".

The service that I get from the dealerships is unacceptable.

When I purchased the vehicle, I wanted to get rid of my used car and used car headaches.

But in return, I got a new car with a large payment and a lot of headaches.

Problem 1- The radio would not play my Cd's without skipping.

Problem 2- When driving down the road at about 45mph the car would start to chug and act like it was missing.

Problem 3- My drivers side seatbelt was broken, had to replace entire belt.

Problem 4- I tried to turn my radio down using my steering wheel controls, the controls would not work.

Problem 5- While driving at night, at normal speed limit, slow down to make a turn, when brakes are applied, lights flicker for a second. Have never had this problem fixed.

Problem 6- Arm rest is looking warn, due to just resting my arm.

Problem 7- Clunking noise in front end while traveling at low speed and while turning.

Problem 8- Driver side window control quit working.

Problem 9- Front end repair. Shortly after I purchased the car.

As I stated in the beginning of this letter, I wanted a new car so I would not have as many headaches as owning a used vehicle.

With all the problems I've had with this new car on top of making quite a large monthly payment, I often wander what I was thinking.

I really like how the Monte Carlo looks, but with all the problems I've had and am still having.

Looks aren't everything.
