While driving my car, it just shut off automatically. Then it has been doing it multiple time since. It can happen three to five times per day. The dealership has tried to reboot the computer system numerous times, it still shuts off with no warning. I just listen to the fan if it shuts off, I have to put the transmission in neutral, and start the car while coasting. I feel that this is related to the gm chevrolet recall. Feel free to call for a more in depth description of the ignition problem. For the affected parts question, it did not include ignition, therefore, I listed the areas of the car affected when the engine would shut off, the steering, braking were also affected. Thank you
2006 Chevrolet Monte Carlo transmission complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 27 of 27, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While attempting to accelerate to avoid another driver, the transmission slipped. Instead of the car accelerating, driver was forced to swerve and hard brake forcing the vehicle off the road just barely avoiding an accident causing minor bruising on the children in the back seat. I more of these same complaints on your website and am told that chevrolet knows about this problem and has done nothing to fix it. The mechanic I talked to said that he has seen 3 of these himself and its usually the torque converter, and can't get an aftermarket one yet and people are replacing the entire transmission.
2006 chevy monte carlo ss, started to notice the transmission slipping at about 77,000 miles, when stopped and beginning acceleration it hesitates than lunges into gear while making a grinding noise at the same time..checked the transmission fluid and didn't notice any burnt fluid or particles in it....this incident repeated itself for 7 months and today it wouldn't go into drive or any of the low gears...its pretty obvious by all the complaints on various forums that this is a manufactures flaw! Disappointed!!!
When accelerating from a stop, the transmission (in drive) immediately shifts hard into second gear then slips a little before engaging. If I shift the gears manually, the transmission shifts normal. It does this only in drive and shifting between first and second gear. The fluid is clear, full and not burnt. The trans fluid was flushed about 4 months ago with no problems before now. The car has not been driven hard and has average amount of miles.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 chevrolet monte carlo. The contact stated that she noticed a shuttering noise while accelerating from a traffic stop. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing where the mechanic replaced the oil pressure sensor. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000. Updated 12/03/12*bf the consumer stated the vehicle had low oil, before an oil change was due. The vehicle was low 1-1.5 quarts every one thousands miles. At 40,000 an oil consumption test was performed. A year before, the rings and pistons were replaced at 92,000. After the pistons and rings were replaced, the consumer began having problems with the transmission shuddering. A computer flash was done. However, the problems continued. Updated 12/05/12
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 chevrolet monte carlo ss. The contact stated that while trying to accelerate from a stop, the accelerator pedal did not properly respond. The contact was not able to merge to the side of the road where the vehicle was towed to a dealer. The dealer confirmed that the torque converter had failed. The vehicle was not repaired but a replacement transmission was installed. The manufacturer was not contacted about the issue. The failure and current mileages were 93,331.
2006 monte carlo ss with failing transmission at 85,000 miles...dealer wants $2900 - $5100 to fix repair, and offered to cover any expenses over $2000. They agreed that this is a known issue. I asked for an additional $500 so my total out of pocket would only be $1500. They denied. I am looking for assistance to get this resolved as it is a known issue.... Can you offer some guidance and direction on what I can do? Dealer is lawrence chevrolet and the goodwill claim guy is named [xxx]. [xxx] is the service guy I spoke with..at [xxx] the gm customer liaison I have been dealing with is [xxx] at 866.790.5600, ext. [xxx]. There are lots of monte carlo's failing and I got this information I received at: http://www.gmls4.com/index.php?topic=27.0.
The engine slips and then slams into gear on soft shifts between 0 and 20 miles per hour. Not on every sot shift but it happens often enough as to where I felt the problem needed to be heard and hopefully addressed.
Transmission is slipping and grinds at random.
I have a 2006 chevy monte carlo ss with the ls4 v8 engine coupled to the 4t65hd transmission. The transmission ai starting to act up, missing shifts and slipping every once in a while. I understand that there are many others experiencing the same thing. My car only has 45000 miles on it and it has not been abused.
The transmission in the vehicle is know for catastrophic failure in several internal parts. Gm knowingly put a transmission that was rated for a v6 in a car that produces more horsepower and torque than the transmission is rated to use. The torque converter, clutch pack, and input shaft are all known to fail in these transmissions. I am currently experiencing several symptoms that are linked to these parts failures. I am going to repair the transmission very soon due to the weak points that gm failed to recognize early on in the development phases of the vehicle. The transmission often slips and gives hard shifts under normal driving conditions.
2006 monte carlo ss - 4t65e-hd transmission failure... Slipping... Shuddering/shaking the whole front end when shifting... Lunges/slams into gear... Had to get transmission replaced! There are over 100 other people I know in online car forums with the same problem with this transmission in their monte carlos, impalas, and gxp's. Starting anywhere from 20,000 miles to 90,000 miles... And some are on their 2nd or 3rd replacement transmission already!!
I bought a new 2006 monte carlo in july 2006. Since new I've had issues with the car accelerating when stopped. Also, traveling at steady speeds the rpms fluxuate. Now when you use the cruise control, as the car goes down a grade it pulsates and the rpms fluxuate then clears. Gm and dealer says it is normal. I've owned a lot of gm cars and this is not normal. Had the intermediate steering shaft,,rack and pinion assembly, power steering hose all replaced under warranty. Had to fight with gm to get the rack replaced. Bolt broke on the rear brake cable, dealer said I hit something but not a scratch on the bottom of car and hanger sits up in the frame area.
I bought my 2006 monte carlo, it has less than 23,000 miles on it. I have experienced continued harsh shifting/slippage of the transmission since I purchased it. I have had it in the local chevy dealership a few different times and they are not able to diagnose the problem. They say they can't fix it if it doesn't shift hard for them when they have it. Just yesterday I had to have it towed to the chevy dealership because it blew a power steering hose.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 chevrolet monte carlo super sport. Upon purchasing the vehicle in july of 2006, the contact noticed that the vehicle would lunge forward or backwards with force. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and they stated that there were no failures; however, the failure continued to persist. He returned to the dealer and they stated that the torque converter was defective, which caused the motor mount, transmission, and steering column to fail. The mechanic repaired the transmission, but none of the other components. The manufacturer stated that their engineers would receive the information from the dealer in order to find out the cause of the failure. The current mileage was 35,000 and failure mileage was 7.
Transmission on vehicle slips at random intervals. Remote entry system works when it wants to. Air bag lights come on at random. Dealer has not been able to fix keyless entry or transmission slip.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 chevrolet monte carlo. Since december of 2006, the vehicle has been in the shop at least three times for several different failures. The transmission was improperly repaired the first time and was taken back to the shop. The battery died and the contact was not given a new one. The keyless entry system with onstar is making a loud squeaking noise. The contact stated that the mechanic does not perform the repairs and leaves the vehicle parked for weeks at a time. The engine size was unknown. The current mileage is 33,852 and failure mileage was 1,000.
