1990 CHEVROLET LUMINA Complaints

TWICE I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKES IN UNDER 2 YEARS DUE TO RR CALIPER WEARING OUTSIDE PAD. MY MECHANIC SAID SLIDERS FREE, HOSE IS GOOD AND E-BRAKE NOT STICKING ON. HE SAID THIS IS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE CALIPER THAT THESE CARS ARE KNOWN FOR.*AK

WHILE DRIVING REAR CRADLE BOLTS CORRODED AND SNAPPED OFF. REAR OF THE VEHICLE LOOKED LIKE IT SNAPPED IN HALF. ONLY THE FRONT CRADLE BOLTS WERE REPAIRED UNDER A RECALL 00V189000. VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE.*AK

I FEEL DUPPED BY THE CHEVY CORP. THERE ARE SO MANY LUMINAS IN MY AREA ALONE THAT HAVE THIS PEELING PROBLEM I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. THIS IS NOT AN AGING PROBLEM AS CHEVY IS TRYING TO CONVINCE EVERYONE, IT DOES NOT HAVE ANY THING TO DO WITH THE AGE OF THE CAR BECAUSE THE PAINT THAT IS REMAINING IS NEW LOOKING AND VERY SHINY. I HAVE SEEN AGING PAINT THAT CRACKS. THIS IS A BUBBLE & PEELING PROBLEM, MOSTLY IN A VERTICLE DIRECTION. IT IS A DISTINCT LOOK. IN ONE WEEK I SAW 3 WHITE LUMINAS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. HOW DARE CHEVY NOT TAKE RESPONSIBLITY FOR AN INFERIOR PRODUCT. A SIMPLE PAINT JOB WOULD SERVICE ALL COMPLAINTS. I HAPPEN TO LIKE MY LUMINA BUT I WOULD NEVER BUY A CHEVY PRODUCT EVER EVER AGAIN AND MY PEELING LUMINA IS A ADVERTISEMENT FOR AN INFERIOR PRODUCT. I HOPE EVERYONE THAT SEES MY CAR GETS A CLEAR MESSAGE OF WHAT TYPE OF PRODUCT CHEVY MAKES. YOUR COMPANY IS CERTAINLY AWARE OF THIS PAINT PROBLEM BECAUSE I SEE MANY CARS IN MY AREA ALONE WITH THIS EXACT PROBLEM. WHAT A DISGRACE FOR CHEVY TO GET AWAY WITH THIS. I AM EMBARASSED TO RIDE IN MY CAR!!!!!!!

WHILE BRAKING AT 15 MPH, THE BRAKES INTERMITTENTLY FAILED. THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, WHICH CAUSED EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE AND SUBSEQUENTLY THE CONSUMER REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE.*AK THE CONSUMER STATED THE BRAKES WERE DEFECTIVE DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW, THE SPENT $1500.00 IN REPAIRS WITH NO SUCCESS. *CB THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE BRAKE CALIPERS. *JB

VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING A DEFECT WITH THE REAR CRADLE WHERE 1 OR BOTH REAR CRADLE BOLTS PULLED THROUGH THE RETAINERS DUE TO CORROSION. AS A RESULT, THE ENGINE CRADLE IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED BY THE ENGINE MOUNTING, AND THE STEERING INTERMIDIATE SHAFT SEPARATED FROM THE STEERING GEAR, CAUSING SUDDEN LOSS OF STEERING. *AK

WHILE TURNING IN ANY DIRECTION AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THERE WOULD BE A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. CONSUMER STATED VEHICLE WAS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS INDICATED IN RECALL 97V05800, BUT THE DEALERSHIP MECHANIC WOULD NOT REPAIR THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED.*AK

CONSUMER STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AND WITHOUT WARNING VEHICLE WOULD LOSE POWER STEERING. DEALER NOTIFIED. *AK

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HER CAR AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH WHEN THERE WAS A LOUD THUD. SHE THEN TRIED TO STEER THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER, BUT HAD NO CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL. SHE GOT OUT AND LOOKED UNDER THE CAR TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED. THE ENGINE CRADLE HAD BROKEN AND WAS RESTING ON THE ROAD. HAD SHE BEEN GOING 60 MPH ON THE FREEWAY, SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I CONTACTED A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THERE WERE TWO RECALLS ON HER VEHICLE: ONE FOR THE ENGINE CRADLE BOLTS, AND ONE FOR THE SEATBELTS. THE VEHICLE IS A 1990 CHEVY LUMINA SEDAN. VIN # [XXX]. *AK INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE TRAVELING 50-55 MPH AND WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKES VEHICLE WENT INTO EXTENDING STOPPING DISTANCE. CONSUMER DEPRESSED BRAKE PEDAL TO FLOORBOARD AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. *AK
