Chevrolet Monte Carlo harsh shifting problems

Filed Aug 2, 2016 · Transmission · 100,000 miles · MI

Vehicle does nothing when you hit the gas from take off then slams into gear jolting forward. Does not want to shift between 3rd and 4th gear. Seems to be a drive issue. Constantly says replace remote key less entry battery. Dealer has not been able to fix key less entry issue.

Owned since new 2002 monte carlo. This vehicle is on the 3rd ignition switch. The latest just this year. Each time, it has effected a different part of the electrical system. The cruise control, the radio, the security system. There is an o-ring in the fuel line under the hood that was faulty, causing fuel to leak in the engine compartment. The power window regulator has been replace twice on the drivers door, once on the passenger door. There has been an antifreeze leak, causing the engine to overheat. The fan cooling assembly has been replace. The door window button has been replaced 5 times. The light bulb continued to burn out each time.the steering assembly column has been replaced, and continues to make a clunking sound. When it was recalled, they replaced it at the dealer and my high beam function has never worked since that repair. The catalytic converter went out right after the emissions warranty expired, within a few thousand miles. Current mileage is just over 120,000 miles. That is 40,000 miles per ignition switch. This ignition switch recall currently by gm should have included the monte carlo.

From a stopped point the transmission slips upon acceleration causing the car to make a loud clunking noise and then jerk and bark the tires until the car goes into gear almost causing me to be rear ended each time.

I was at a red light and the light turned green and I pressed on the accelerator and the engine revved way up but I did not go anywhere, and then kind of clunk and it seemed to have popped in gear. The amount of torque that was delivered to the wheels caused me to veer into the lane next to me that had already began to move. A semi truck almost hit me!

I hear from someone that you may be able to help! Below is a blog I made to the monte carlo forum site. Please read to get an idea of what my complaints are. I own a 2007 monte carlo ss. I have been to chevy 6 times under warranty for this transmission issue. Each time they told me they did not find any error codes or problems on the test drives. I find this hard to believe. My transmission shifts hard at times like it is missing. This slipping / hard shifting is a safety hazard for getting on to parkways and needing to respond quickly to certain situations. All seems to be happening in first gear. I brought the car back to them about 2 months ago (out of warranty) for an engine burning oil issue which by the way I also brought to their attention 5 times under warranty. Which all of a sudden (you guessed it) they admitted the engine was burning oil and I wound up having to pay $1000.00 to tare down the engine and $250.00 to flush out the transmission (even though they did not find a transmission issue for a 7th time). They told me the cylinders were not scored and were fine so they changed the pistons and rings. Supposedly the said the job cost $3600 +. My a-- how nice of them, (not). Being I paid for the tare down your telling me pistons and rings cost $3600. Bs, still to early to see if the engine is still burning oil. And here's the kicker-(the car only has 50,000 miles on it and I had a 6 year 60,000 mile warranty on it). So now I am still stuck with this transmission issue which they do not have an answer for. Any suggestions on what I should do next. And going back to chevy is not an acceptable answer unless it's in front of a judge. Any further questions please do not hesitate to e-mail me.

I had just exited the highway and was sitting at a red light waiting to turn left, when the light turned I stepped on the throttle like normal and the transmission revved up, clunked into gear started rolling and then began to shudder & vibrate. I had only been able to move about 10 feet. I took my foot off the accelerator as the car felt like it would shake it self to pieces. At this point someone almost back ended me. I then stepped on the accelerator again and didn't move the engine just revved and then another large clunk and the car popped into gear jerked forward almost causing me to lose control of the car. If there were poor weather conditions I feel this transmission issue would have caused an accident.

I purchased the vehicle in may and since then I been hearing this clunking noise coming from the steering column. I called gm and they told me that it was the intermediate steering shaft that need to b replaced because they got out a lot on the vehicles. I told them of they know that y didn't they recall them and the guy told me because the safety commission never told them to. Im very upset and feel that this is a safety issue! I replaced this piece numerous time and it keeps making this noise again! I don't have money like that to keep replacing this part. Please help me by recalling this part because my kids are a factor here and this can be a major accident.

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.

Turn signals only work some of the time and make a loud buzzing noise sometimes you can make them work by pushing the four way flashers but it is only a temporary fix.. I believe this is a serious safety issue and there should be a recall for this problem. There is also a clunking noise coming form the steering column/front end.
