Braking problems: I own a 1996 Chevy Monte Carlo and I have recently been experiencing braking problems. The low track light comes on periodically and I lose almost all of my brakes. It is very difficult to stop and I feel this needs to be investigated, it seems that I am not the only consumer with braking concerns and problems. Someone is going to get killed.

This car also has brake and injector problems. I had to replace the rear struts in June too. This car has low mileage and I think it is highly unusal to have these problems.

Problem with brakes have always been there. Consumer ran a red light going 30 mph because vehicle wouldn't stop. Brake pedal goes all the way to floor, but it starts to slow down. Dealer has hooked vehicle up to a diagnostic machine, but problem doesn't show. Dealer is convinced that's the way they should work. The consumer had two accidents as the result of brake failures.

There are many things wrong with my vehicle and now the warranty is up and its not cheap to repair major parts that shouldn't need repair at this time and mileage on this vehicle(21,287). I looked up the lemon law on my internet and my car definitely qualifies as a lemon which is a shame because I love my car. I already had replaces 3 spark plugs, 3 cylinders in the engine, ignition coil, 3 cd players, brakes, left turn signal. Let's put it this way when I walk into the dealership for repair they know me by first name, and then they ask me what's wrong this time? it's very embarassing to have this many problems. If I could afford a lawyer I would file my car as a lemon but I would get my moneys worth back for all the problems at 21,287 mileage. And it will be 4 years old in October\2000. I was hoping you would be able to help in some sort of way. I'm very disappointed in the Chevrolet company, because my father only will drive Chevrolet vehicles and that what he wanted me to get and it a problem since day 1 of the vehicle. It's a gorgeous vehicle and drive beautiful when theres not a problem with it. Please try to help me.
