My 2006 Monte is JUNK
I have a 2006 Monte LT with a 3.5. I have had nothing but issues. I change my oil every 2500 and I baby it. So at 12,000 the rear main seal is leaking the dealer replaced it ok. So the trans was banging at 18,000mi so I bring it in AGAIN so the dealer replaced a couple drums inside the trans and they said the oil pan is leaking AGAIN. So I pick up the car and it still has issues steering wheel not straight and the trans still doesnt feel right but i need the car. So I'm driving it and every time I put in gear there is a bang like loose mount. So I leave work the other day and it slips int 2 then barely goes to 3rd and no 4 or passing gear.
I WANT MY 03 BACK |

sorry to hear this . |

RE: My 2006 Monte is JUNK
how do i lemon law it ???
|
RE: My 2006 Monte is JUNK
Sorry to hear this.
Do a web search for the lemon laws of your state. Most of the lemon laws state IF the dealer has the car more then you do, it's a lemon. Or if you take the car back time after time after time getting the same problem repaired, it's a lemon. |
RE: My 2006 Monte is JUNK
wow! yah i'd be seeing about changing it for another car, shouldn't be your fault the car has so many problems, must have been built late on a friday afternoon or early on a monday morning

RE: My 2006 Monte is JUNK
Hi Mike, sorry to read about all your problems with your 06 Monte Carlo LT 3.5 L [X(] Did you buy it new ? Was it a rental car before you got it ? I noticed that you are from NY,NY Was in driven in bumper to bumper traffic all the time ? If your dealer can not correct the problems, then I would suggest like other members have, & that is to look into New York States Lemon Laws to determine if your Monte fits their definitions. I know that you have to have a lot of documentation, (Dates/receipts/expenses/all paperwork on the car). Good Luck & Keep the Forum Updated on your Problems. `Space |

RE: My 2006 Monte is JUNK
If that doesn't do it, I would bring it to another dealer to get the work done. While under warranty GM actually pays the dealership for work so I wouldn't keep going to the same group and let the car soak up.

RE: My 2006 Monte is JUNK
Rear main seal on mine went out about two weeks ago too. Wonder if this is a common problem with our cars?
|
RE: My 2006 Monte is JUNK
Hmmm, I feel for you man. My monte was actually a rental, and we didn't find out until we found a rental warranty card stuck under one of the front seats, and boy was my dad pissed. But I've been mostly trouble free, had the tire montering system and the paneling in the rear seats. Out of warrenty now though so hopefully everything stays nice, I have put well over the majority of the miles on this car and I've taken care of it.

RE: My 2006 Monte is JUNK
Why was your dad upset that it was a rental? No biggie.
|
RE: My 2006 Monte is JUNK
If it is like any rental I've had that means it gets beat on like no other car out there.
|
RE: My 2006 Monte is JUNK
If it's made well it'll hold up just fine though.

RE: My 2006 Monte is JUNK
I remember once renting an Olds Luxury model and was jumping it over RR tracks. The transmission almost didnt get us back to the rental agency.

RE: My 2006 Monte is JUNK
And this is an EXACT example of what not to do in a rental car! Kids....j/k

RE: My 2006 Monte is JUNK
lol....and why not to buy rental cars when they're done with them....
its kind of like on that blue colar comedy when he was talking about what they did ina rental car...lol |
RE: My 2006 Monte is JUNK
Reminds me of an internet video where they take a rental to a demo derby and have the blow up girl in the back. :)

RE: My 2006 Monte is JUNK
Well I just finally took my 06 LT3to the dealer for reapirs.
They fixed the popping sound I had when I would turn/accelerate/reverse. Replace my radio becasue you would only hear static from the radio. Replaced a tire pressure monitor I told them about my power steering leaking and had to refill it but they could find a problem with it. They also said oil was leaking out of the rear main seal or something like that. They told me it would be ready by monday. : ( Hopefully that would be all it need for a long while. |
RE: My 2006 Monte is JUNK
Please keep us up to date on the repairs. At least they are fixing it for you.
|
RE: My 2006 Monte is JUNK
Damn!!! At least it's being fixed at no charge. I'd hate to pay for that stuff out of warrante.
