Defect SummaryOn certain passenger vehicles equipped with 3800 v6 (l36) engines and certain delphi fuel pressure regulators, the regulators have a much higher than usual rate of fuel leaks. a leak can allow fuel to enter the intake manifold through a vacuum line. if the engine does not start when cranked, the fuel from the leaking regulator and a mistimed spark can cause a backfire.
Consequence SummaryThe backfire can rupture the intake manifold. the rupture of the intake manifold can displace a fuel line, pulling an injector out of place, and causing a fuel leak and possible fire.
Corrective SummaryDealers will install new fuel pressure regulators with improved diaphragms. the recall will be conducted in phased mailings. phase 1 began on june 30, 2004, and phase 2 began on september 30, 2004. owners should contact buick at 1-866-608-8080, oldsmobile at 1-800-630-6537, or pontiac at 1-800-620-7668.

 1. took my car in for service for an intermittent check engine light. service required was a purge solenoid for the charcoal cannister. 2. after returning the car home and it sitting for a couple days, i went to start the car and the battery was dead. jumped the battery with another car and when i went to turn the key in the monte carlo, the intake manifold exploded in about 20 different pieces in a deafening explosion. 3. nothing has been done to repair yet, but the damage is catastrophic. i'm looking at $$$$$ repair. i have pictures of it if needed. if i had been standing over the engine and my wife had turned the key i would be looking at a hospital stay. *tr

 We have 2 monte carlos, a 2000 and 2004, both of these had sensors go out of the gas gauge. in talking with some others, theirs did too. royal chevrolet in bloomington, in charges almost $500 for this. i feel since this is happening a lot to this brand of car, it should be recalled. *nm

 On december 24, 2004 in the evening my vehicle which is a 2000 chevy monte carlos would not start at the mall. my husband and i proceeded to try to get the vehicle to start. however, it didn't start. we the vehicle try to start after trying to start it back fire causing the upper manifold, the engine cover, gaskets and oil cap having to be replace. we had the vehicle to be towed to our home. then, we had charlie jones, of jones mechic and heavy equipment to come and look at the vehicle. he stated that because we continue to try to start the vehicle fuel in the lines build up causing the vehicle to back fire. well after we got the vehicle repair we receive a recall notice from chevy telling customers of a fuel regulator which is faulty and can cause the vehicle to back fire when battery is low. exactly what had happen to my car. how ever if though chevy acknowledge the default they denied to pay me back my expense. their recalls states everything that would happen to my car. i'm just so upset because i found out that although the battery was low the car shouldn't have back fire if it wasn't for the recall part. *nm

 The check vehicle soon light came on so i immediatly drove to the dealership, i was told that i did not tighted down the gas cap and thats why the light came on so they re-set the light. two days later the light returned and again i was told about the gas cap, i explained that i had not put any gas in it. they ran a diagnostic and discovered the car had a weak fuel pump. #2 i was leaving from a stop sign when my tire blew out, i was told that it was not covered because i must of hit something with it. (i never hit anything). #3 i attempted to move the car from infront of my home, into the driveway, red fluid began to pour out under the engine compartment. the car was towed to the dealership and the water pump was replaced. #4 the vehicle engine has had a low idle miss that started about 10 days after we brought the car home. #4 i just noticed that my passenger door is poping against the right front fender when you attempt to open it. the condition seems to be worsening and you can see that the fender and the door do not line up correctley. the dealership continues to tell me that the car is running to factory specifications at this time. i am at a loss i do not know how to get my vehicle taken care of when the dealership doesnt even care enough to take the time to check it out. this was my first carbuying experience and it has been a nightmare, i love my monte carlo and i just wish someone would assist me.

 Flasher hazard switch and gas gauge indicator were found to be issues in the past but i was not notified of any type of recall. both of these issues are present in my 2000 monte carlo. i purchased a replacement flasher switch at a local dealer and nothing was said about a recall. i have not yet replaced the switch. i purchased the car new and feel if gm knew about this issue, i should have been contacted long ago to have this issue rectified. *jb
