1993 CHEVROLET LUMINA Complaints

THE REAR SUSPENSION, BUSHING AT THE END OF THE SPRING IN REAR SUSPENSION ON PASSAGER SIDE IS GONE AND THE ONE ON THE DRIVER SIDE LOOKS LIKE IT IS ABOUT TO COME OFF. THE SQUEAKING NOISE FROM THE BACK STARTED A COUPLE OF MONTHS A GO BUT WAS HARDLY NOTICEABLE TILL THIS LAST WEEK OR TWO. THE RUBBER BUSHING ITSELF CANNOT BE REPLACED WITH OUT BUYING THE SPRING ASSSEMBLY FROM GM. WE HAD TO ALSO REPLACE THE FRONT BRAKE PADS AT ABOUT 50000 MILES AND FOUND THE REAR BRAKES C ALPERS FROZEN, THE DEALER GOT THE REAR BRAKES UNSTUCK. BUT WE STILL HEAR NOISE WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLYED . WE DID HAVE THE ENGINE REPLACED AT 58,100 MILES IN 3/5/98 FOUND #6 PISTON WORN . WE REACHED AGREEMENT TO HAVE NEW ENGINE INSTALLED AT 50/50 COST WITH GM GOODWRENCH SERVICE REPLACEMENT ENGINE WITH LIMITED WARRANTY 36 MONTHS/50,000 MILES

STEERING TILT MECHANISM HAS BROKE . THIS DEFECT WILL NOT ALLOW CONSUMER TO SHUT VEHICLE OFF, WILL HAVE TO DISCONNECT BATTERY. *AK

I AM TRYING TO FIND OUT ABOUT A RECALL ON '93 CHEVROLET LUNMINAS. I HEARD PART OF THIS RECALL ON TV NEWS..THOUGHT I HEARD SOMETHING ABOUT EMISSION FUMES (?). PLEASE NOTIFY ME VIA E-MAIL..JUST SEND ME IN THE CORRECT DIRECTION TO FIND OUT WHAT TO DO. THANKS, CAROL SHEPHERD

WE HAVE HAD FOUR DIFFERENT SHOULDER BELTS GO OUT ON THIS 93 APV. THE FIRST TWO WERE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. SINCE THEN TWO OTHER BELTS HAVE GONE OUT. THE ONLY REASON THE BACK TWO PROBABLY HAVEN'T GONE OUT IS THEY HAVEN'T BEEN USED THAT MUCH. TWO BELTS STILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT FOR 4 BELTS TO BREAK IN A FIVE YEAR OLD CAR. BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALLS ON THIS VAN.

BRAKES MAKE A NOISE WHEN PRESSING THE PEDAL AND TURNING RIGHT. THE ABS LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY, EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE OCCUR. , DEALER IS NOT AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. *AK
