Power steering assist fails at slow speeds making parking difficult and turning the wheel while stopped difficult. Steering wheel binds and is resistant when this happens, and is most notable after vehicle is hot and has reached temperature. Some clatter noise occurs when this happens. I did complain to the dealer in detail while under warranty, but was told that nothing was found. Warranty has since expired , and I suspect that this problem either has no solution or would not be handled with a satisfactory outcome. I have read that others have experienced this type of failure with the 2007 monte carlo, prompting me to notify you that this may be a wide spread safety issue affecting this model vehicle. *tr

Transmission skips gears from a stop to go acceleration. Took my vehicle to a Chevrolet ASE certified repair facility to have checked. The clutch plate was melted along with some planetary bearings destroyed. The repair bill came to 1,800.00 $. Now the vehicle is showing signs of a recurring slippage problem only after 2 months since it was repaired and used parts replaced. Why isn't there a recall for this issue? My 2007 Chevrolet monte carlo ss less than 72,000 miles on it.

Car will not shift out of park intermittently. Dealer found wires to be broken and wires that were frayed at the shift solenoid. They removed console to splice and fix the wires. Dealer deemed wear and tear? At 32,000 miles? (console would have covered these wires totally so not sure where the wear and tear would be from). From putting the car in park? Drive? Reverse? I doubt it was wear and tear. *tr

Transmission is slipping some times the gears do not seem to catch and it slips and jerks the car into gear causing the car to occasionally lose traction during acceleration. Can be a little scary at times. *tr *js
