2000 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS from North America - Comments

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.

I own a 2000 monte SS.. Best car ever owned in terms of reliability.

I own a 2000 ss I hear ya on some problems, but they are all minor, my one annoyance is the light flicker that you state happens this because of the rpms hunting when you slow down, all gm's seem to do this. not a big deal, i look at it this way as long as it never left you stranded

All of your problems seem to be minor. My Monte, Carlo SS

2000 has worse problems. 1st. the car works great and then all of a sudden just doesn't start. And I can't find what is wrong with it! after about 30-40 minutes it starts up again. And it will be like that for about a two weeks and then it does it again.
