2000 Chevrolet Monte Carlo RS review from North America
"It's a good car and a value for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car was hit at the dealership as it was being test driven by me. I still took the car because I fell in love with it at 1st sight. The dealership fixed the passenger side door where the service manager's son hit it. The problems I have been having with the car are suspension problems. I had the upper and lower ball joint replaced before the car could have an alignment. It was okay for awhile now it vibrates so bad at certain speeds it tends to scare me. I had the rotors turned and the rear pads replaced I was told that the rotors were warped, but they could be turned it fixed the problem for awhile. Now when I put on the brakes it shudders and that makes me wonder if I should just go ahead and the next time I have the brakes checked just not go and have the rotors replaced.
General comments?
I love the car it's just some of the things I have mentioned have really got me frustrated because it' a reoccurring problem.
