Owners have filed 244 complaints
about the 1995 Chevrolet Monte Carlo with NHTSA between 1995 and 2009.
The largest single group is the brakes.
Across this model's run it ranks 6 of 13 worst.
The letter says how bad. This says what kind — whether this year drew
an unusual number of complaints, unusually dangerous
ones, or failures that arrived unusually early.
The dashed ring is 50 — the national norm. Further out is worse.
Complaint volume — 54
Against the median year of the Chevrolet Monte Carlo. 50 means typical for this
model; 100 means roughly double.
Severity — 100
20.9% of these complaints
involved a crash, fire, injury or death, against a national rate of
9.7%.
Early failure — 0
0% of failures with a mileage on record happened under
36,000 miles, against a national rate of
29%.
How 1995 compares with every other Chevrolet Monte Carlo
NHTSA files every complaint against a named sub-assembly, not just a
system. This is the difference between knowing it was "the engine" and
knowing which part of it — the list to hand a mechanic.
The agency crash-tested this model year itself. These are its own
photographs and star ratings.
These stars come from the pre-2011 crash test programme. NHTSA
rebuilt the programme for the 2011 model year and states that
ratings either side of that change are not comparable — so do
not read these against a 2011-or-newer car's stars.

When owners complained
A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing
out on schedule across the whole fleet — the kind of pattern no single
owner can see from inside their own car.

NHTSA investigations into the 1995 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
An investigation is the step before a recall: the agency has seen enough
complaints to look into a pattern itself. An open one means it thinks
something may be wrong and nothing has been fixed yet.

Recalls on the 1995 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
A complaint is one owner's allegation. A recall is the point at which
the manufacturer or a regulator agreed the defect is real and dangerous
enough to fix for free — however old the car is.
CERTAIN DELPHI FUEL PRESSURE REGULATORS, P/NOS. FP10020-11B1, FP10026-11B1, AND FP10027-11B1, SOLD AFTER JANUARY 9, 2007, AS AFTERMARKET EQUIPMENT FOR VARIOUS PASSENGER VEHICLES LISTED ABOVE. THE UNIVERSAL PRESSURE REGULATORS (UPR) WERE PRODUCED WITHOUT AN O'RING AND RETAINER.
Risk: FUEL MAY LEAK, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A FIRE.
01I014000
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS
THIS IS NOT A SAFETY RECALL IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SAFETY ACT. HOWEVER, IT IS DEEMED A SAFETY IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN BY THE AGENCY. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: 1995-1999 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO Z34 PASSENGER VEHICLES. THE BRAKING PERFORMANCE IN WET WEATHER OR WET ROAD CONDITIONS IS REDUCED MORE THAN A DRIVER WOULD EXPECT.
Risk: THE BRAKING COULD FEEL DELAYED MOMENTARILY WHEN LIGHT OR MODERATE FORCE IS APPLIED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WHILE DRIVING ON WET ROADS OR AFTER GOING THROUGH A CAR WASH.
97V065000
SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE
THE CENTER REAR SEAT BELT ANCHOR PLATE EXHIBITS STRESS CRACKS.
Risk: IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE CRASH, THE SEAT BELT SYSTEM CAN FRACTURE AND INJURY TO THE SEAT OCCUPANT CAN OCCUR.
97V017000
VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:SWITCH/WIRING
SOME OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE A STRAINED OR SEPARATED WASHER/WIPER SWITCH POWER FEED WIRE.
Risk: THIS CAN CAUSE THE WINDSHIELD WASHER/WIPER TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY AND COULD ULTIMATELY RESULT IN INOPERATIVE WIPERS. IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR IN A SEVERE WEATHER SITUATION, DRIVER VISIBILITY COULD BE REDUCED, INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH.
94V230000
SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT
A RIGHT-HAND LOWER CONTROL ARM TAPERED BALL JOINT MOUNTING HOLE WAS INCORRECTLY MACHINED. MOVEMENT WITHIN THIS ATTACHMENT CAN ALLOW THE BALL JOINT STUD TO FATIGUE AND FRACTURE.
Risk: IF THE BALL JOINT FRACTURED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL TO THE VEHICLE CAN OCCUR.
Canada — Transport Canada
Canada runs its own recall programme, and its campaigns do not
always mirror the American ones.
Recall 199709012,735 units in Canada
Seats And Restraints
Certain vehicles may have a centre rear seatbelt anchor plate which exhibits stress cracks. In the event of a vehicle crash, the seatbelt system may fracture and injury to the seat occupant could occur. Correction: Centre rear seat belt system will be replaced.
Recall 199703934,440 units in Canada
Visual System
Certain vehicles may have a strained or separated washer/wiper power feed wire. This may cause the windshield washer/wiper to work intermittently and could ultimately result in inoperative wipers. This would result in reduced driver visibility during inclement weather conditions and a crash could occur. Correction: Windshield washer/wiper switch will be replaced with a redesigned switch.
Recall 199418116 units in Canada
Suspension
THESE VEHICLES MAY HAVE A RIGHT HAND LOWER CONTROL ARM TAPERED BALL JOINT MOUNTING HOLE THAT WAS INCORRECTLY MACHINED. MOVEMENT WITHIN THIS ATTACHMENT COULD ALLOW THE BALL JOINT STUD TO FATIGUE AND FRACTURE. IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, STEERING CONTROL WOULD BE AFFECTED AND A VEHICLE CRASH COULD RESULT. CORRECTION: RIGHT HAND LOWER CONTROL ARM AND BALL JOINT STUD WILL BE REPLACED ON ALL INVOLVED VEHICLES.

SINCE NEW BRAKES WORK INCONSISTENTLY. TAKEN TO 2 DEALERS AND INDEPENDENT GARAGE SEVERAL TIMES. THE ONLY ANSWER THEY FOUND WAS TO ADJUST REAR SHOES. HOWEVER THIS DOES NOT FIX PROBLEM. SOMETIMES YOU STEP ON THE BRAKES AND THE CAR JUST WON'T SLOW DOWN. USUALLY RIGHT BEFORE YOU RUN INTO SOMETHING THE BRAKES SEEM TO GRAB.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
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.
