The contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. The contact stated while driving 30 MPH, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact restarted the vehicle; however, the failure returned soon after restart. The dealer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that there were no recalls on the vehicle related to the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000.
These issues have been spotadic since I aquired the vehicle in october of 2021. Not infrequently the ABS system feels like it is trying to engage at low speeds with light braking such as in a parking lot. This also happens after coasting(no gas, no brake no cruise control))and then accelerating The radio will randomly stop playing or begin playing. The turn signal indicator chimes randomly stop chiming when the turn signal is in use though the interioir indicator light will flash normally. I have not been able to stop when this occurs with the turn signal still active to get out and verify it the turn signal is actually working At random times a loud clacking sound will come from behind the dash in the general vicinity of the radio and there will be no out put from the dash vents until the clacking stops. The use of any controls whether radio or climate does not seem to cause this nor will it stop it. Actuator doorb and/or solenoid perhaps?

AFTER DRIVING, WHEN YOU GO TO TURN THE KEY/IGNITION BACK, IT ONLY TURNS BACK TO WHERE THE RADIO, LIGHTS, AND WIPERS STAY ON. THE IGNITION WILL NOT TURN ALL THE BACK. ALSO, THEY KEY WILL COME OUT OF THE IGNITION IN ANY POSITION, EVEN WHILE THE CAR IS IN GEAR. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN AUGUST 2014 STATING THAT AS SOON AS PARTS ARE IN, I COULD GO AND GET THE KEY RING REPLACED,BUT I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE THE NOTICE ABOUT PARTS FOR THIS RECALL. I HAVE NEVER HAD MY CAR KEY ON A KEY RING, EVEN BEFORE THE RECALL. I ALSO READ ABOUT A RECALL ON IGNITIONS OF SOME CHEVY MODELS BACK IN JUNE. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS RELATED TO THE RECALL BUT SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE BECAUSE I HAVE TO JUMP MY CAR OFF EVERY MORNING, OR AFTER LONG PERIODS OF TIME DUE TO THE IGNITION BEING STUCK IN THE "ON" POSITION. THIS IS EVENTUALLY GOING TO KILL MY ALTERNATOR, AND WHATEVER ELSE CHOOSES TO GO NEXT. THIS TIME CONSUMING AND INCONVENIENT, AND THE FACT THAT YOU CAN PULL THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION WHILE DRIVING IS TOO DANGEROUS! PLEASE HELP! *TR

BOUGHT CAR AT 29K IN JUNE 2007. AROUND 36K THE TRANSMISSION SENSOR BETWEEN THE GAS LINE AND THE TRANSMISSION DECIDED TO OVERRIDE MY BREAKING. NEARLY KILLED ME BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. (HAD TO PUT IN NEUTRAL TO MAINTAIN CONTROL). HAD TO FIGHT WITH CHEVY TO GET WARRANTY FIX FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. AROUND 41K THE CAR DECIDED THAT THE TEMP OUTSIDE WAS -38 OR -40 DEGREES AND WOULD INSIST ON RUNNING HEAT DURING SUMMER. WAS TOLD COMPUTER WAS BAD AND WOULD HAVE TO SPEND $$$$ TO FIX (AND ASKED WHY I WOULD BUY A CAR WITH A BAD COMPUTER!). AROUND 145K OIL PRESSURE SENSOR WENT OUT--IN LESS THN15 K, AM NOW HAVING TO REPLACE 4TH ONE. THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER WEIRD ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT ARE WELL DOCUMENTED WITH MY MECHANIC. AND NOW FINALLY GET RECALL NOTICE AND TOLD THE BEST FIX IS TO HAVE KEY BY ITSELF WITH NOTHING ELSE--FOB AWAY FROM KEY. I SUSPECT THIS CAR IS A LEMON THAT HAS COST ME THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN REPAIRS. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 06 MONTE CARLO IN 2012 AND MY KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM WAS NOT RESPONDING WELL. THEY INFORMED ME IT WAS JUST THE BATTERIES. I SWAPPED OUT THE BATTERIES AND THIS DID NOT DO MUCH GOOD. I LATER FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMITTER/RECEIVER FOR THE VEHICLE (IMPALAS INCLUDED) FOR THE 2006 MODEL YEAR. IN ORDER TO HAVE IT FIXED, IT WOULD COST OVER $600 TO HAVE THE TRANSMITTER REPLACED ALONG WITH ALL OF THE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM. CHEVY KNOWS IT'S A PROBLEM AND WON'T RECALL IT. I ONLY HAVE ONE WAY TO ENTER MY CAR THROUGH THE DRIVER'S DOOR, AND THERE'S NO TRUNK ENTRY FROM OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. IT'S MORE OF AN EXTREME INCONVENIENCE ALONG WITH IF I WERE IN A SAFETY SITUATION LIKE A ROBBER, I WOULD PROBABLY BE UNABLE TO ENTER MY VEHICLE AT A QUICK PACE SINCE MY KEYLESS DOESN'T WORK AT ALL. I HAVE READ THAT NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE AND THEY HAD TO PAY TO GET IT FIXED. I BELIEVE CHEVY SHOULD FIX THIS SINCE IT IS A DEFECT IN MANUFACTURER'S CRAFTSMANSHIP. *TR
