Monte Carlo 6-cyl

  • 120,000 miles
January 11, 2015 2003 Chevrolet Monte Carlo - VIN: [xxx], mileage: Approx 120,000 since October 2014, the car shuts off while driving. I loose the power steering and it's very scary if you are on the freeway. It's hard to bring to a stop and sometimes when I shift to park it makes a horrible grinding noise. It always restarts after I sit awhile and drives like nothing has happened.. it has happened numerous times and now it's happening more often. It could cause a bad accident. It's to the point I am very scared to drive it, because I never know when it's going to happen. Last wee it happened three times. I took it in for the recall where they modify the key. It did not help. My excellent mechanic said he has never had a situation like this where he can't figure out what's wrong. (incident information will not let me enter dates). Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

When the car is being put into reverse, the gear shifter sticks and is very hard to shift. I have to put force on it to shift gears.
