1996 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Z34 review from North America
"Worst car ever made"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The week that I bought the car, the fuel injectors blew, then the water pump, then more fuel injectors, then the alternator, then the power windows, then the fuel injectors again! Then the transmission, now I am not sure what is wrong with it, the low coolant light keeps coming on and going off, the service engine light comes and goes, and half of my dash lights do not work, we checked the fuse, and that is not the problem. also my left turn signal will not work, the moon roof won't open and the windows never stay on track. the power seats are starting to not work, the blower on the heater makes strange noises, and the blind spots in the rear make it hard to see behind me.
General comments?
I was raised in a Chevy family, but after seeing what this car put me through and that Chevrolet was not helping me with it, my family bought a Ford, and I will never buy Chevy again. Sad to say.
