1999 CHEVROLET LUMINA Complaints

LEAKING GASKET ON 1999 CHEVROLET LUMINA WITH ABOUT 55000 MILES. INTERNET LISTS MANY CARS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THAT GM USES BAD GASKET MATERIAL. IT COSTS OWNER $650 TO REPAIR. GM SHOULD BEAR THE COST BECAUSE THEY USED BAD GASKETS. *LA

3.4L V6 ENGINE FAILURE WAS A LEAK IN INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET. AIRBAG FAILURE WAS A DEFECTIVE SEATBELT RETRACTOR, CAUSING AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT TO STAY LIT.

IN YOUR RECALL SECTION FOR CHEVROLET VEHICLES, I COULD NOT FIND MY CAR LISTED. I HAVE A 1999 CHEVROLET LUMINA, I WAS ATTEMPTING TO FIND OUT WHAT THE CURRENT RECALL STATUS WAS BECAUSE I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED 2 DAYS AGO. *CB

WITHOUT WARNING ACCELERATOR PEDAL GOT STUCK TO THE FLOOR WHILE DRIVING DRIVING 22 MPH, CAUSING THE CONSUMER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND HIT A LIGHT POLE. UPON IMPACT, BOTH FRONTAL AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *AK

MANIFOLD LEAK DEVELOPED AROUND 55000 MILES, RESULTING IN LOSS OF COOLANT, AND $1000 REPAIR, OF AN APPARENTLY COMMON PROBLEM WITH GM 3.1 LITER V6 ENGINES. MINE IS A 1999 CHEVROLET LUMINA. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH, THE CONSUMER HEARD A CLANKING AND GRINDING SOUND COMING FROM THE BRAKES. THE SOUNDS COULD BE HEARD WHEN EVER THE BRAKES WERE DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO INFORMED THE CONSUMER THE RIVETS FROM THE BRAKES SHOES RUSTED OFF. THE MANUFACTURER WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. *JB *MR

1999 CHEVROLET LUMINA,ONLY 70,000 MILES, HAVE HAD THE INJECTORS FLUSHED X3, NOW NEED MANIFOLD REPLACED AND HEAD GASKET REPLACED, COSTING APPROXIMATELY $1000. PROBLEM RELATED TO DEFECTIVE GASKETS ON CHEVROLET'S PART SHOULD BE PAID FOR BY CHEVROLET, NOT THE AUTO OWNER. CHEVROLET HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS PERSONS HAVING TO REPLACE PARTS DUE TO THEIR FAILURE TO MAKE A CORRECTION OR A RECALL. I WANT CHEVROLET HELD RESPONSIBLE AND TO REIMBURSE MYSELF AND OTHERS THAT HAVE HAD TO HAVE THIS DONE TO THEIR VEHICLES. *LA

BOLT HEAD CAME OFF OF REAR SWAY BAR BUSHING.*MR OVER HALF OF THE BOLT CRACKED BEFORE IT BROKE OFF. *TS

COMPUTER MODULE FAILED TO RECOGNIZE THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION SWITCH WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE NOT TO START. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE HAD NOT YET BE DETERMINED. *AK *PH *JB

I HAVE 3 DIFFERENT COMPLAINTS. 1. THE ROTORS ON MY CAR HAD TO BE REPLACED 3 TIMES BEFORE I HAD DRIVEN 36,000 MILES. THEY WOULD WEAR UNEVENLY, AND CAUSE NOISE AND VIBRATIONS WHENEVER THE BRAKE WAS APPLIED. 2. THE TRANSMISSION LEAKED FROM THE PAN, AND THE GASKET HAD TO BE REPLACED 2 OR 3 TIMES.THE TRANSMISSION STILL LEAKS. AND THE BRAKES NEED FIXING AGAIN, BUT THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 36,000 MILES. 3.WHENEVER THE ENGINE IS UNDER ACCERLATION, MY AIR CONDITIONER DOES NOT COOL. THE VENTS CLOSE OFF PREVENTING COLD AIR FROM COMING THROUGH. HOW MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE REPORTED PROBLEMS SIMILAR TO THESE?*AK
