2003 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Ss Coupe 2-door 3.8l Needs Work on 2040-cars
Shipshewana, Indiana, United States
|
AutoCheck shows that early in its live the car had a couple of accidents. In 2005 its appears to have a salvage title and then a rebuilt title in 2005 and 2007. The owner I purchased from owned since 2007. He stated that he was told the vehicle had been stolen and sat around waiting to be rebuilt. It appears to me that the at least the doors and trunk lid have been replaced from a red Monte. Some red paint showing around edges.
List of issues: Transmission doesn't always shift. I had filter and fluid replaced but didn't help. Drives best in third. I can drive it around the block but don't trust it for much further. Valve cover gaskets need replaced as they leak some and smoke off engine. Exhaust is noisy really loud but not sure where leak is. When you rev engine oil pressure gauge fluctuates. Battery drains we put disconnect on negative side put still sometimes drains. Air conditioner doesn't work. Automatic door locks don't work fuse blows so it is out which also affects air bag (air bag light is on) I believe there is a short somewhere. Paint chips on hood. Rear spoiler has some damage on driver's side. Engine missing cover. I don't know how to verify if this is original engine. Driver's seat side air bag shows through tear in seat. Front tires have about 5500 miles on them. Rear tires are ok. AS IS AS IS AS IS |

GM recalls full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism
Mon, 07 Jan 2013Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.
GM profits threatened by glut of pickups
Wed, 05 Dec 2012Automotive News reports that General Motors may slash production or ramp up discounts in order to deal with an oversupply of pickup trucks. GM currently has more than double the standard supply of pickups, and the vehicles are threatening to dampen the automaker's profits for 2013. Typically, automakers try to sustain a 60- to 75-day supply of vehicles, but GM is currently loaded with a 139-day supply, as of last month. At the end of November, the automaker was sitting on 245,853 units.
The manufacturer says that it will adjust production accordingly before laying any incentives on the profitable pickups. Even so, there's some concern that the inventory swell could hurt the roll-out of the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM actually began slowly stepping back production in August, but it's clear the company will take further action as it heads toward the end of the year and into the next. Analysts predict the automaker could reduce pickup manufacturing by nearly half in the first quarter of 2013.
That still may not be enough to keep GM from laying extra cash on the Silverado and GMC Sierra. While the company's incentive spending was down in November compared to the same month in 2011, both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 saw double-digit percentage increases in sales last month while the Silverado and Sierra numbers slid compared to a year prior. Incentive spending could help move more trucks and add some balance to the GM inventory surge.
Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
