I have a 2003 Monte Carlo SS, I am concerned with the lights on my dash which went out recently. I was told I had to take it to the dealership which charges 150 to hook it to a computer and tell me it's a short which is going to cost me over 200 to fix.

Do you drive a 2003 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
