1995 chevrolet monte carlo z34 with 3.4 liter engine. Has significant issue with oil leakage due to manufacturing defect. The engine block contains a hole which was originally intended to utilize a distributor cap. This model does not use a distributor cap. The hole was plugged by gm and is inaccessible for repair without removing both timing chains, the entire top of the engine and cyclinders. I have contacted gm to request assistance with the repairs which have been estimated at $1500- 2000. Their only response is to offer a certificate which could be used toward the purchase of a new gm product. I have spoken with several repair outlets and was informed this is a relatively common problem but the engine in my vehicle makes it much more difficult and costly to repair.

My 1995 monte carlo with the 3100 v6 had numerous problems since we bought it. We have replaced the egr valve twice in a year, the water pump, the thermostat, the radiator, the radiator cap, and it still over heats to the point that the car shuts down and the hot light comes on in the car. I am at my wits end and I have paid so much money to get this figured out and no one seems to know why. I have had it tested for a head gasket leak and it shows nothing. There is air getting into the system from somewhere because it can be bled off. I really like the way this car drives and I do not want to get rid of it. I just want it to be fixed and I have had 7 different mechanics to work on it and they are stumped!

While changing the oil in my car, my husband noticed an oil leak. Took the car to a dealership, morris pontiac, and was informed that there was not specific area of leak, they stated that the engine itself is leaking and the engine will need to be sealed. They stated that to do that, they would have to totally tear down the engine and seal it completely. I feel with the small amount of miles on my car/engine this problem should not be. It seems since I have owned the vehicle I have had many major problems with the car, including replacing a transmission. We live in an area without hills/mountains so there is very little if no strain on transmission or engine.

Faulty timing belt pulleys caused timing belt to break during driving on the road. This damaged valves, causing repairs to total 2400. There is no way to check on this problem and catch it before it happens.
