 On my way to work on my normal route before dawn, driving down a narrow curvy rural road rife with deer, i flicked on my high beams as usual. about 5 seconds later i lost all my headlights. somehow safely pulled off road without falling into the ditch and turned off vehicle. after several minutes of turning lights on and off the fog lamps came on and i was able to make it back home very slowly. spent $1000 getting a control module replaced. had trouble with turn signals quitting randomly for 3 years, have to turn on emergency flashers in order to get them to work. another $500 will fix the problem but since the car is only worth $1500 it doesn't seem worth it. this car is a piece of junk - 2 transmissions, numerous electrical problems, 5 steering shaft replacements... *tr

 2002 chevrolet monte carlo with abs and service engine light problems and concerns**cc the traction light illuminated as well. the transmission was replaced 2 months after the consumer purchased the vehicle, because the vehicle wouldn't go into 3rd gear. the steering shaft was lubricated. the consumer was informed that the ebcm needed to be replaced and without the replacement, the abs would not work so the traction control and abs light would remain on. the water pump and intake gasket was replaced due them leaking. the fuel injector was replaced due to it being stuck open. the tire pressure monitoring light illuminated, the dealer sealed the rear wheels. *jb

 I own a lemon of a 2002 chevrolet monte carlo ss. nothing but problems since i bought it last year. steering column problems, cost $200.00 to fix, catalytic converter replaced, covered by warranty thank god. today it is in the shop again for leaky gasket and wheel bearing/ hub replacement which is costing another $500.00. this was bad because the abs breaks didn't always work which was scary since i wondered when they were going to give out totally and i would be in an accident. the transmission solenoid also needed to be replaced which cost us another $700.00. is there any help for us? i wonder what will be next with this car, it is a nice looking car, but it sucks mechanically!! please help! any suggestions? *tr
