| This is a known issue to chevrolet as they have recalled several other makes and models due to a faulty body control module. the steering pump needed to be changed, when the battery was unconnected then reconnected, the bcm faulted, resulting in a complete lock out of the vehicle. the vehicle then needed to be towed away because the key was locked in the ignition. two weeks and $1000 later, still no vehicle and chevy doesn't want to hear anything. they keep saying, sorry but this is not one of the vehicles that was recalled. although other bcms have been recalled, not this one. and they keep repeating this. it isn't a new problem, if you check sites on the internet, it's very common. i think they should be held responsible for their neglegence. | |||

| I would like to raise concern for a rear defroster failure on 06+ monte carlo's as well as impala's. there is a faulty connector in the in line fuse box causing a major fire hazard. i have seen many people raise this issue as a very dangerous fire hazard online, wondering why they see recalls for rear defroster issues without a fire hazard yet nothing for this dangerous issue. it causes major burning on the wire and plastic fuse box. the concern would be when we lose a life in a car fire simply because of their negligence on this issue. i hope it doesn't take the loss of a life or worse life of a child to make them get in gear with this. | |||

| Car begin to have difficulty going into park and allowing the ignition key to be removed. within 1 month car now will not go into park at all without manually going under the hood and moving the shift cable. since the car remains very hot underneath the hood for a while this is very dangerous, especially for a woman, but necessary to remove your keys from the ignition and to put your keys into park. *tr | |||

| 2006 monte carlo has had problems with the seat belt and air bag failure. *ts the air bag light illuminated. diagnostics were run but no problems were found. when the air bags failed, this caused an issue with the onstar system. the air bag light was on while someone was sitting in the passenger seat. this meant that the air bag was not activated. the seat belt indicator light illuminated. the dealer replaced and reprogrammed the sdm. the onstar system had been replaced once. the air conditioner has been replaced once. the keyless entry system has been replaced and reprogrammed numerous times. there has also been a problem with the traction control system not functioning. *nm | |||

| Dt*: the contact stated the dash panel instrument cluster was poorly lighted and there was limited visibility while driving in the daylight. the vehicle was seen by a service dealer on a bright day, therefore the panel was visible and the dealer could not duplicate the problem. however, in cloudy conditions the gauges are not visible at all. | |||
