1995 Chevrolet Lumina Problems & Complaints

LETTER FROM SENATOR NELSON ON BEHALF OF CONSTITUENT RE 1995 CHEVY LUMINA AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. *SMD THE CONSUMER WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND SUFFERED INJURIES. *JB

I DROVE A LUMINA THAT HAD A PROBLEM THAT SOUNDS LIKE SAME TYPE OF ENGINE SHUTOFF PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN IN THE NEWS LATELY. IT HAPPENED MOST OFTEN WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. AS I DECELERATED ON EXIT RAMPS, THE ENGINE WOULD SHUTOFF. THIS BECAME A FAIRLY REGULAR OCCURRENCE WITH THIS CAR. SEVERAL MECHANICS WERE UNABLE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. (I BELIEVE IT WAS A 1994 OR 1995 LUMINA THAT I OWNED. I COULD NOT FIND A RECORD OF IT.) *TR

VEHICLE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET IS LEAKING. THIS IS DUE TO THE MANIFOLD BEING MADE OF PLASTIC WHICH BREAKS AND CAUSES IT TO LEAK. GM IS AWARE OF THIS FLAW BUT I DID NOT SEE RECALLS SO I AM REPORTING THIS MATTER IN HOPES THERE CAN BE A RECALL FOR THE FAULTY PART. *TR

ON OR ABOUT 10-6-10 I ASSISTED MY GRANDSON IN PURCHASING A VEHICLE FROM A CAR LOT IN CLEVELAND OHIO. THE CAR WAS A 1995 CHEVY LUMINA. WE WERE TOLD THE CAR HAD BEEN PURCHASED AT AN AUCTION IN PA. AND DRIVEN TO CLEVELAND WITHOUT A PROBLEM. I PAID $635 FOR THE DOWNPAYMENT WITH ADDITIONAL $300 TO BE PAID BY 11-5-10 FOR A TITLE TRANSFER. THEN $200 A MONTH THEREAFTER FOR 12 MONTHS. WE LEFT WITH AN ELATED YOUNG MAN WHO NOW HAD A WAY TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO WORK FOR HIS TWO JOBS. THE NEXT DAY HE TAKES IT FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND IS TOLD THAT THE CAR HAS NUMEROUS PROBLEMS, LEAKING GASKETS, BAD STRUTS, RUSTED FLOOR, AND LEAK IN GAS TANK AND TRANSMISSION. THE NEXT DAY, IT STOPPED RUNNING. CONTACTED THE DEALER WHO TOWED IT AND CLAIMED TO REPAIR LEAKING TRANS. THREE DAYS LATER IT STOPS AGAIN, THEY TOW IT FROM I-480 HIGHWAY AND EACH TOW WE HAVE TO PAY THEM $45. THEY ARE GIVEN A LIST OF REPAIRS NEEDED, EVEN THOUGH PURCHASED WITH NO WARRANTY THE CAR BARELY LEAVES THE LOT BEFORE IT BREAKS DOWN. ON PAYDAY, HE GETS CAR BACK THIS TIME AND FILLS TANK UP ONLY FOR HIS JOB PARKING LOT TO BE COVERED WITH LEAKING GAS AND THE POLICE AND FIRE DEPT. ARE CALLED AND TELL HIM NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR AS THE LEAK IS A DEATH TRAP. AGAIN I PAY FOR A TOW FROM AAA $64. THEY ARE INFORMED AND STATE THEY PUT A GAS TANK ON AND THAT WE CANNOT CONTACT THEM REGARDING ANYMORE PROBLEMS. TWO DAYS AGO THE CAR STOPS AGAIN, BATTERY DEAD. I PURCHASE A NEW BATTERY AND TODAY, THE STABILIZER BAR FALLS AND THE STRUTS ARE HANGING LEAVING THE CAR UNDRIVEABLE. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE REGARDING UNSCRUPULOUS DEALERS THAT SELL THESE HARD WORKING PEOPLE UNRELIABLE TRANSPORTATION. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 CHEVROLET LUMINA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD BANGING NOISE UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, SHE NOTICED THAT THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE WAS FRACTURED, WHICH CAUSED IT TO SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS PUSHED TO HER PLACE OF RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT IS IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING THE VEHICLE INSPECTED TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 150,000.

THE CAR WAS RUNNING FINE AND THEN WHEN IT SHIFTED THROUGH THE GEARS WHEN IT WENT TO CHANGE INTO OVERDRIVE IT WAS LIKE IT JUST WENT INTO NEUTRAL. I PULLED OVER AND TRIED ALL THE GEARS AGAIN AND THERE WAS A LIGHT GRINGING SOUND AND ALL IT WOULD WORK IN WAS 1ST GEAR SO I GOT TO DRIVE HOME AT A LIGHTNING SPEED OF BOUT 10 TO 15 MPH. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 CHEVROLET LUMINA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HIS WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED HIM THAT HIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 97V017000 (VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:SWITCH/WIRING). THE CONTACT WILL HAVE THE DEALER REPLACE THE WASHER WIPER SWITCH. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,718 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

95 LUMINAS AND MONTE CARLOS AS WELL AS OTHER GM W-BODY VEHICLES HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH GOING BAD AND CAUSING THE BRAKE LIGHTS NOT TO WORK. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 CHEVROLET LUMINA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO OVERHEAT AND MUST CONSTANTLY APPLY ANTIFREEZE. THE VEHICLE HAS NO VISIBLE LEAKS AND WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT ANTIFREEZE LEAKED INTO THE ENGINE AND CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 86,558.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE ENGINE HESITATED WITHOUT WARNING. UPON INITIAL INSPECTION BY THE CONTACT, IT WAS DETERMINED THE FAILURE WAS POSSIBLY RELATED TO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT ALERTED.

MY DAUGHTER WAS INVOLVED IN A FATAL AUTO ACCIDENT. SHE WAS THE REAR PASSENGER OF A CHEVORLET 1995 LUMINA. SHE HAD ON HER SEAT BELT. HER GIRLFRIEND ALSO IN THE REAR, DISTRACTED THE DRIVER WHO LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR AND HIT A TELEPHONE POLE. MY DAUGHTER RECEIVED A FATAL BLOW TO THE HEAD, LIVER LACERATIONS , FRACTURED RIBS, AND SEAT BELT CONTUSIONS. SHE REMAINED IN A COMA FOR NINE DAYS BEFORE PASSING AWAY. THE GIRL WHO DID NOT HAVE HER SEAT BELT SURVIVED WITH ONLY MINOR ABRASIONS. THE OTHER TWO FRONT SEAT DRIVER AND PASSENGER RECEIVED ONLY MINOR ABRASIONS. THE CAR EXPLODED INTO FLAMES. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON MANY OCCASIONS THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD MALFUNCTION. ON ONE OCCASION, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS MALFUNCTIONED WHILE DRIVING IN THE EVENING DURING A RAIN STORM. RECALLS WERE FOUND ON NHTSA WEBSITE THAT MATCHED THE SYMPTOMS THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING. THE DEALERS AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE CONTACTED AND DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE'S VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN SERVICED.

TURN SIGNALS DO NOT FLASH. *JB

I TURNED CAR OFF WENT INTO THE HOUSE CAME BACK TRIED TO START CAR IT WOULD NOT START IT HAD FULL POWER I REPLACED THE STARTER HAD BATTERY CHECKED IT WAS FULLY CHARGED NO PROBLEMS TRIED TO START IT SECURITY LIGHT IS FLASHING CLEANED KEY UNABLE TO START THIS IS A 1995 CHEVY LUMINA THIS IS A DANGER. IT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED . *NM

CHIPPING & CRACKING OF PAINT. *JB

DT: THE CONTACT STATES THERE IS A NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN 97V017000 CONCERNING WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER SWITCH POWER FEED WIRE. THIS VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS INDICATED IN THE RECALL, BUT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO VIN. THE CONTACT REPAIRED THE VEHICLE AT HIS OWN EXPENSE.*AK UPDATED 12/27/2005. THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH WAS DEFECTIVE. THE BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED INTERMITTENTLY. THE WIPERS FAILED INTERMITTENTLY. *NM

BRAKE LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. WILL WORK IF PULL TURN SIGNAL ARM TOWARD DRIVER, BUT ONLY WHILE IT IS PULLED FORWARD. THIS WILL REQUIRE A 350$ FIX. SEEN LOTS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. IF A TURN SIGNAL ARM THAT IS KNOWN TO GO LOOSE THAT CAUSES BRAKE LIGHTS GO OUT IS NOT A HAZARD I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS. *NM

ON A ROAD TEST FOR A CUSTOMER I LOST THE BRAKES, AS IT DEVELOPED A HARD PEDAL WITHOUT POWER ASSIST. THE CONDITION WAS INTERMITTENT. UPON INVESTIGATION I DISCOVERED THE VACUUM HOSE FROM THE BACK OF THE INTAKE TO THE POWER BOOSTER WAS SOFTENED WITH OIL CONTAMINATION AND HAD BEGUN TO COLLAPSE CUTTING OFF VAC TO THE BOOSTER. I INSTALLED A NEW HOSE ASSEMBLY BUT THIS CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AND COULD CAUSE PROBLEMS FOR ANY DRIVER AT ANY TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS A 1995 CHEVY LUMINA 3.4 V6. CLEARANCE IS VERY TIGHT WHERE THE HOSE RUNS. I THINK GM SHOULD GO TO A HARD HOSE INSTEAD OF A PERFORMED RUBBER HOSE. THE ENGINE WAS NOT LEAKING OIL. THIS FAILURE WAS HEAT AN NORMAL WEAR. BEING THESE CARS ARE 10 YEARS OLD THEY ARE STARTING TO FAIL. I SUSPECT EVERY VEHICLE WITH THE 3.4 L ENGINE WILL HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM NOT JUST THE LUMINA. *JB

DT: 1995 CHEVROLET LUMINA. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, IT CAUGHT ON FIRE. A CO-WORKER CAME OUT AND HAD AWAKEN THE CONSUMERS SON. THE FIRE AND POLICE DEPARTMENTS RESPONDED. A FIRE REPORT WAS TAKEN. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT STATED THAT THE FIRE STARTED IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE NEAR THE BUMPER. ALSO, A POLICE REPORT WAS TAKEN. THE MANUFACTURER SENT AN INSPECTOR, WHO STATED THAT IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE FOR A FIRE TO START. THERE WAS NO EXHAUST LEAK, THEREFORE GM COULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR THE CONSUMER. THIS HAPPENED ON SEPTEMBER 14, 2005. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. *AK (11/21/05) *SC

BRAKE LIGHT FAILURE CONNECTED WITH THE TURN SIGNAL STALK. THE WINDOW BRAKE LIGHT WORKS FINE, BUT THE BOTTOM BREAK LIGHTS DON'T WORK. ALL FUSES AND LIGHT BULBS ARE WORKING. THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. HTTP://WWW.AUTOFAN.COM/FORUM_THREAD.ASP?MESSAGE=6440 I FEEL THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *NM

I BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS ONLY WORKING SPORADICALLY, AND WHEN DISCUSSING WITH A FRIEND, I DISCOVERED THERE MIGHT BE A RECALL REGARDING MY VEHICLE. WHEN I WENT ONLINE TO SEARCH IF I WAS COVERED, I DISCOVERED MULTIPLE GM RECALLS THAT COVERED THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING, AND ONLINE IT SEEMED AS THOUGH MY VAN QUALIFIED. WHEN I PHONED A DEALER WITH MY VIN #, I WAS TOLD I WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I BELIEVE THAT MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM COVERED BY THE RECALL OF THOUSANDS OF OTHER GM VEHICLES. *NM

DT: THE CONSUMER STATES THE 1995 CHEVROLET LUMINA HAD NO BRAKES LIGHTS. THE CONSUMER SAID THAT THE DIRECTIONAL SWITCH WAS FAULTY. ALSO, THAT SOMEONE COULD HIT THE CONSUMER IN CAR. THE CONSUMER HAD IT FIXED AT $260.96. THE CAR WAS FINE NOW. HE JUST WANTED EVERYONE TO KNOW ABOUT THE SWITCH AND THE COST OF THE SWITCH. THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT CONTACTED. HOWEVER, THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY SAID TO CONTACT THE DEALER. *AK

THERE IS A RECALL LISTED ON THIS WEBSITE BUT THE MANUFACTUAR SAYS THERE ISN'T ONE? MY CAR IS DOING THE EXACT THING THE RECALL SAYS ON THIS PAGE. *JB

I HAVE A 1995 CHEVROLET LUMINA. THE THIRD, OR UPPER BRAKE LIGHT WORKS FINE, THE DIRECTIONALS IN THE BACK WORK FINE, THE LIGHTS COME ON WHEN I TURN THE HEADLIGHTS ON, AND MY BACKING UP LIGHT WORK FINE. BUT THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT WORK WHEN I HIT THE BRAKE PEDAL. I AM FINDING THAT MANY PEOPLE WITH LUMINAS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. MY MECHANIC SUGGESTS REPLACING THE ENTIRE BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY, AT A COST OF OVER $300. CHEVROLET SHOULD RECALL AND CORRECT THIS PROBLEM.*AK

A FUEL SMELL STARTED COMING FROM THE VENTS OF THE VEHICLE, AND THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. MECHANIC COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *AK

(1) I HAD BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY TURN SIGNALS ON MY 1995 CHEVROLET LUMINA LS VEHICLE FOR A LITTLE WHILE. HOWEVER, RECENTLY I FOUND OUT THAT NOT ONLY HAD MY TURN SIGNALS MALFUNCTIONED, BUT THAT THEY TOOK OUT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WITH IT.*AK (2) WHILE THE WINDOW MOUNTED BRAKE LIGHT WORKS, MY REAR LIGHTS (RUNNING AND BRAKE) DO NOT WORK AT ALL, RESULTING IN THE INABILITY TO USE MY VEHICLE. (3) AT THIS POINT, I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE DUE TO LACK OF FUNDS. HOWEVER, IN DOING RESEARCH, I FIND THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH CHEVROLET VEHICLES DATING FROM 1994 TO 2000, ESPECIALLY THE LUMINA. WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH MALFUNCTIONS, IT TAKES THE ENTIRE REAR LIGHTING ASSEMBLY OUT WITH IT. APPARENTLY, THERE WAS A SERVICE ISSUE BULLETIN RELEASED ON THE TOPIC, BY CHEVY WON'T MAKE THE SITUATION RIGHT.

DEAR NHTSA, I DRIVE A 1995 CHEVROLET LUMINA. RECENTLY I HAD THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH REPLACED. ($150) THE SWITCH JUST WORE OUT FROM OLD AGE. I HAVE LOOKED ON MANY WEBSITES AND THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE IN THESE CARS WITH MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME FAILURE. THE REAL PROBLEM IS WHEN THE SWITCH WEARS OUT AND FAILS; THE LUMINA'S BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT FUNCTION. THE BRAKE LIGHT CIRCUIT RUNS THROUGH THIS FAULTY TURN SIGNAL SWITCH AND PREVENTS THE BRAKE LIGHTS FROM COMING ON WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT HAZARD, AS CARS BEHIND YOU DON'T KNOW THAT YOU HAVE APPLIED YOUR BRAKES AND MAY NOT REDUCE SPEED IN TIME TO PREVENT A COLLISION. I AM APPALLED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHT CIRCUIT GOES THROUGH THIS FAILURE-PRONE FAULTY SWITCH. I WANTED NHTSA TO BE AWARE OF THIS SITUATION AND HOPEFULLY WARN UNSUSPECTING MOTORISTS.*AK THANK YOU

THE COOLANT WAS LEAKING FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE WHILE PARKED. VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE. CONSUMER HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A MECHANIC'S SHOP, AND THE MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE WATER PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK

WHILE DRIVING CONSUMER'S VEHICLE REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. UPON IMPACT, DUAL AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. NO INJURIES REPORTED. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN HEARD A LOUD NOISE. VEHICLE STARTED BOUNCING. TRIED TO ACCELERATE, BUT VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. COASTED TO SIDE OF ROAD. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION OF PROBLEM.*AK

CONSUMER WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH DOWN A CIRCULAR RAMP IN A PARKING GARAGE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL DID A 90 DEGREE TURN OUT OF THE CAR. THIS WAS CAUSED BY THE BALL JOINTS FRACTURING. THERE WAS NO INJURY.*AK

CONSUMER NOTICED THAT THE ABS BRAKING LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD AND REMAINED ON. CONSUMER CONTACTED THE DEALER, WHO INFORMED CONSUMER THAT VEHICLE HAD TO BE PLACED ON A DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE FOR INSPECTION. *AK

FRONT BRAKES MAKE A GRINDING, SQEALING NOISE WHEN BACKING. *AK

WHILE DRIVING DURING RAINY WEATHER, THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TO WORK. *AK THE WIPERS FAILED MANY TIMES BEFORE THE PROBLEM WAS REMEDIED. IN ONE PARTICULAR INCIDENT, THE CONSUMER WERE CAUGHT IN A RAIN STORM. *SC *JB

WHILE DRIVING CONSUMER HEARD A KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT END. DEALERSHIP INFORM EDTHE CONSUMER THAT THE PROBLEM PERTAINED TO THE FRONT RIGHT BALL JOINT FAILURE, AND THE PROBLEM WAS NOT RESOLVED. *AK

THERE WAS A KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT END WHEN THE CAR WAS MOVING SLOWLY OR TURNING. SUPER LUBE REPLACED THE LOWER RIGHT BALL JOINT BECAUSE IT HAD CRACKED. THERE WAS A RECALL INVOLVING THIS PART ON SOME LUMINA'S, BUT WHEN I CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND THE DEALER, BOTH CLAIMED THERE WAS NO RECALL. *AK

THE PAINT ON MY 1995 CHEVY LUMINA IS PEELING. IT STARTED WITH THE PAINT BUBBLING AND THEN IT STARTED PEELING WITHIN 3 MONTHS TIME. MY CAR WHICH WAS PAINTED WHITE BY THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOW LOST 75% OF THE PAINT. *JB

LACK OF HEAT (TO DEFROST WINDSHIELD, RESTRICTING VISIBLITY), LOW COOLANT LIGHT COMING ON, ALL THE RESULT OF A FAULTY VALVE WHICH ALSO CAUSES THE CAR TO REGISTER THAT IT'S OVERHEATING. ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON DUE TO A FAULTY SENSOR. EMERGENCY BLINKERS ARE BROKEN. GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL WELL. *AK

PAINT PEELING FROM ROOF, TRUNK AND HOOD

I HAVE A 1995 BLACK LUMINA. THE CLEAR COAT AND THE PAINT IS PEELING OFF. IT HAS RAN HOT EVER SINCE I BOUGHT IT. I HAVE HAD THE THERMOSTAT CHANGED AND RADIATOR FLUSHED.I HAVE TO KEEP THE HEAT ON LOW EVEN IN THE SUMMER TO KEEP IT FROM OVER HEATING! THE BRAKES NEED ADJUSTED OR REPLACED ON A CONTINUES BASIS. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED,OFF A CAR LOT, IT WAS THREE TO FOUR YRS OLD AND RIGHT AFTER I BOUGHT IT WAS DISCOVERED IT HAD A MAIN SEAL OIL LEAK THAT WOULD COST NEAR A GRAND TO FIX!! THE TRANSMISSION WINDS LOUDLY AND "JUMPS" EVEN THOUGH THE TRANS FLUID IS CHECKING OUT FINE. EGR SOLENOID WENT OUT ON MY CAR IN 2001!! WHY DOES THIS PART COST A FORTUNE AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD MESS UP MY EMISSION CONTROLS IF NOT FIXED? JUST TO MAKE MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT STAY OFF!!

THE PAINT ON MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO PEEL OFF AFTER IT BUBBLED. I NOTICED THE BUBBLING AND THEN ONE DAY WHILE DRIVING A PAINT CHIP BLEW UP ONTO THE WINDSHIELD. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD I'M NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER THEY CANNOT HELP ME. GMC ALSO WOULD NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THEIR PAINT JOB. I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT WAYS TO GET THEM TO FIX THIS PAINT PROBLEM. I AM NOT THE ONLY WHITE CAR DRIVING IN MY AREA WITH THE SAME DEFECT. AT THIS POINT IN TIME MY WHITE CAR IS MOSTLY A GREY PRIMER. I'M NOT ASKING FOR ANYTHING BUT A REPAINT. THE CAR MAY BE RELATIVELY OLD IN YEARS BUT HAS LOW MILAGE AND IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. I HAVE MAINTAINED THE CAR AS DID MY MOTHER BEFORE HER DEATH WITH ALL REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND UPKEEP. THIS WAS A POINT THE DEALERSHIP ALSO MADE THAT SINCE I DON'T HAVE SERVICE DONE THERE THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE. I DIDN'T KNOW THAT MY OIL CHANGE ALSO EFFECTED MY PAINT. IS THIS SOMETHING NEW WE AS CONSUMER SHOULD BE AWARE OF? IT IS OBVIOUS TO ALL BUT CHEVY THAT THERE IS A DEFECT.

WINDSHIELD WIPER SWITCH BOARD DEFECT. VEHICLES WINDSHIELD WIPER HAS STOP WORKING. THERE IS A RECALL ON LUMINA BUT NOT THIS VIN #. SEEMS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM AS OTHER SWITCH PROBLEMS.

BRAKE LIGHTS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE TO WIGGLE TURN SIGNAL LEVER TO GET THEM TO WORK AGAIN. I CAN ONLY VERIFY BY HAVING SOMEONE ELSE OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. *LA

I HAVE THE 3.1 MOTOR IN MY VAN. IT HAS A STEADY JERKING ACTION WHEN THE EXCELLERATER IS PUSHED DOWN. WHEN I LET UP OF THE PEDAL IT WILL USUALLY SMOOTH OUT. NOBODY SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. ALSO DOOR LOCKS ARE GIVING ME PROBLEMS. WHAT IS GOING ON AT GENERAL MOTORS? I HAVE DRIVEN CHEVYS AND BUICKS ALL MY LIFE.*AK

WINDSHIELD WIPERS COME ON AND OFF IN INCLEMENT WEATHER WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING AND INTERMITTENTLY. *AK

BRAKE LIGHTS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE TO WIGGLE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH TO GET THEM TO WORK AGAIN. I CAN ONLY VERIFY BY HAVING SOMEONE ELSE OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. LOOKING ON THIS WEBSITE AND OTHERS, I SEE THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. THE CAUSE IS USUALLY LISTED AS THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS MAY WORK WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN, AND SOMETIMES THEY WILL NOT WORK. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 40/45 MPH, THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONTAL COLLISION. THE AIR BAG DEFLATED UPON DEPLOYMENT. THE CONSUMER IMPACTED THE STEERING WHEEL. *PH *SCC *JB

THE CONSUMER STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT IMPACT ACCIDENT. THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED BUT IMMEDIATELY DEFLATED. AS A RESULT THE DRIVER HIT HER CHEST ON THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CONSUMER ALSO FELT THAT THE SEAT BELT DID NOT PROPERLY RESTRAIN HER. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED. *AK *NLM

CONSUMER STATES THAT WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED FUNCTIONING. CAUSE UNKWOWN. *AK

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE INTERMITTENT FOR ABOUT 2 1/2 MONTHS. *AK *SCC *JB

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED INTERMITTENTLY. A RECALL WAS ISSUED (RECALL #97V017000) FOR THIS MODEL YEAR BUT THE CONSUMERS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED DUE TO VIN. THE CONSUMER CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO STATED THAT NOT ALL 1995'S WERE RECALL BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT THE DEALERS TO BE OVERWHELMED WITH THE WIPER REPAIRS. THEY ALSO INDICATED THAT MORE VINS WOULD BE RELEASED. *AK *CB *NLM

PAINT JOB ON MY CAR. *AK

I DON'T HAVE A COMPLAINT ABOUT A SPECIFIC MAKE OR MODEL...I HAVE AN OVERALL COMPLAINT ABOUT HOW THIN CARS ARE TODAY AND HOW MUCH THEY ARE NOT PROTECTING THE OCCUPANTS. MY BROTHER WAS KILLED 2 WEEKS AGO AFTER HYDROPLANING AT ABOUT 35 MPH. I KNOW HEAVIER VEHICLES USE MORE GAS BUT AREN'T LIVES WORTH IT? I KNOW THAT AS A NATION WE HAVE BECOME VERY MONEY CONSCIOUS AND GAS MILEAGE IS A BIGGIE BUT EVERYONE WHO HAS HAD SOMEONE KILLED IN A SENSELESS ACCIDENT MIGHT FEEL DIFFERENTLY AFTERWARD. PLEASE ADVISE WHAT IF ANYTHING IS BEING DONE IN THE AUTO INDUSTRY AS A WHOLE TO CHANGE THE TREND AND MAKE CARS MORE PROTECTIVE.

CONSUMER STATES WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK INTERMITTENTLY DURING USE. DEALER AND MANUFACTURER HAVE BEEN CONTACTED.*AK

WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD WORK INTERMITTENTLY. DEALER NOTIFIED.*AK

INTAKE GASKETS LEAK. I JUST BOUGHT A CAR LESS THAN THREE WEEKS AGO, AND A FEW DAYS AGO, THE CAR STARTED HEATING UP, THE "HOT" LIGHT LIT UP, AND LOW COOLANT LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER RIGHT AWAY AND HAD TO PUT SOME WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID IN THE OVERFLOW BOTTLE SO I COULD GET SOMEWHERE, TO CALL SOMEONE. THEY BROUGHT ANTIFREEZE, AND WHEN WE WENT TO FILL THE RADIATOR, IT WAS ALREADY FULL. THINKING MAYBE IT WAS JUST A THERMOSTAT, WE REPLACED THAT, BUT IT KEPT DOING THE SAME THING, NEXT SUGGESTION WAS THERE AN AIR BUBBLE SOMEWHERE, SO THAT WAS BLED. STILL SAME PROBLEM. WENT TO CHECK THE OIL, ONLY TO FIND THAT THE ANTIFREEZE WAS DUMPING INTO THE OIL PAN. CALLED THE HEAD SHOP ONLY TO FIND THAT THIS MOTOR (3.1) IS KNOWN FOR THE INTAKE GASKETS GOING OUT ALL THE TIME. LOOKED FOR RECALLS, NOTHING LISTED FOR INTAKE GASKETS, SO WE CALLED A DEALER TO PUNCH IN OUR VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY SPECIAL RECALL PROBLEMS FOR ANYTHING THAT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED YET. THE SEARCH RESULTED IN FINDING OUT THAT THE INTAKE GASKET HAS BEEN REPLACED AT LEAST ONCE, UNDER WARRANTY. THE CAR ONLY HAS 108,000 MILES ON IT, AND NOW, TWO SETS OF INTAKE GASKETS THAT WE KNOW OF, MAYBE MORE NOT REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THAT'S RIDICULOUS. I HAVE GOT A DODGE VAN THAT HAS 220,000 AND THE ORIGINAL INTAKE GASKETS HAVE NEVER WENT OUT. I REALLY THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL, AND REPLACED WITH A BETTER SET OF GASKETS BECAUSE APPARENTLY THE ONES USED ARE CHEAP, AND WORTHLESS.*JB

NHTSA#94-V-230-000: THE LOWER CONTROL ARM FAILED, THERE WAS A RECALL REGARDING THE ISSUE, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED.*JB

VEHICLE DIDN'T START THREE TIMES. *AK

STEERING WHEEL MADE CLICKING SOUND WHEN TRYING TO TURN WHEEL BECAME HARD TO STEER AS IF NO POWER STEERING AND AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. TURNED OUT TO BE THE AIR BAG COIL - WHICH HAD AN EXPOSED CIRCUIT. NOTICED MANY TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS OF THIS NATURE ABOUT THE CLICKING IN THE STEERING WHEEL. DO NOT KNOW IF AIR BAG WAS INVOLVED WITH THE TECHINICAL SERVICE BULLETINS OR OTHER COMPLAINTS. COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY SERIOUS INCEDENT IF THIS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. SO HAPPENS THAT IT OCCURRED WHILE PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AT A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AFTER JUST HAVING THE ABS SYSTEM REPAIRED.

PAINT LIFTING AND PEELING ALL OVER VEHICLE ESPECIALLY ROOF.

AIR BAGS NOT FUNCTIONING IN A RECENT ACCIDENT JAN 4 2003.

WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 55 WHEN LEFT REAR TIRE STARTED TO MAKE A NOISE LIKE I HAD A FLAT. WHEN I SAFELY STOP THE CAR AND LOOKED THERE WERE NO FLAT TIRES. DROVE ON SHOULDER AS NOISE STARTED AGAIN AT 20 MPH. STOPPED AND LOOKED AGAIN AND SAW THAT THE OUTSIDE SUPPORT BROKE IN HALF. OTHER SUPPORT OK ALINEMENT SUPPORT BENT. THIS MOST LIKELY FROM THE SUPPORT BREAKING. NO ONE AT THE DEALER WERE I HAD THE CAR FIXED HAS EVER SEEN ONE BREAK BEFORE. MAYBE A PROBLEM. DT

COOLANT MIXED WITH OIL AND RUINED ENGINE. REQUIRED ENGINE REPLACEMENT. DT

WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN THE RIGHT LOWER BALL JOINT FRACTURED. THIS FAILURE PULLED THE HALF SHAFT OUT OF THE TRANSMISSION AND CAUSED THE RIGHT TIRE TO FLIP BACK DAMAGING THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE. *MR *NLM

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY SHE HEARD A NOISE. THE UPPER BALLJOINT BROKE. THE RIGHT TIRE CAME OFF ALSO THE DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. TS

THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. *MR *NLM *JB

CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED, THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED. MR *JB

CONSUMER STATES THAT WHEN PUTTING OBJECTS INTO THE TRUNK THE SPARE TIRE UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE BOLTS SNAPPED CAUSING THE TIRE TO FALL. DEALER NOTIFIED. *MR

BRAKE LIGHTS WILL INTERMITTENTLY WORK. ALSO, DIRECTIONAL SWITCH WILL WORK. CONTACTED DEALER ,AND DEALER REPLACED RELAY THAT CONNECTED TURN SIGNAL SWITCH AND BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH.*AK

ALL WE KNOW IS THAT THE HAZARD LIGHTS WORK BUT THE BRAKE PORTION OF THE SWITCH DOES NOT AS PER MECHANIC. PER NUMEROUS SERVICE DEPARTMENTS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. AS IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD (NOT HAVING ANY BRAKE LIGHTS) I FEEL THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTUR ISSUE AND AS SUCH NEEDS TO BE DELT WITH.*AK

WHILE DRIVING ODOMETER WILL INTERMITTENTLY STOP WORKING. SOMETIMES IT WILL ROLL BACK AND OTHER TIMES IT WILL NOT ROLL AT ALL. CONTACTED DEALER. *AK

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. VEHICLE HAS BEEN CHECKED BY DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, WHO WOULD NOT REPAIR BECAUSE COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. CURRENTLY, WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE COMPLETELY FAILED AND VEHICLE IS NO LONGER COVERED BY WARRANTY.

CAN'T DECIDE WHICH GEAR TO SHIFT TO, GOES TO NEUTRAL MOMENTARILY AT 25-35 MPH. *AK

WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL INTERMITTENTLY STOP WORKING. CONTACTED DEALER, AND DEALER STATED THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF RECALL DUE TO VIN. *AK

TURN SIGNALS WILL INTERMITTENTLY NOT WORK, VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN EXAMINED BY DEALER.*AK

AT 70 MPH CONSUMER HIT THE BRAKES AND DRIVER 'SSEAT FULLY RECLINED BACK. COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. CAUSE UNKNOWN. DEALER NOTIFIED.*AK

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

WHENEVER HEADLIGHTS ARE TURNED ON, CONSUMER SMELLS SOMETHING BURNING. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED BY A DEALER.*AK. CONSUMER STATED THE PROBLEM IS THE SWITCH IN THE STEERING COLUMN. *JB

WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED THERE IS SUDDEN ACCELERATION INSTEAD OF VEHICLE SLOWING DOWN. HAVE TO SLAM ON BRAKES TO STOP VEHICLE.*AK

VEHICLE OVERHEATED SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS TAKEN TO DEALER. WAS TOLD NOTHING WRONG. IT WAS TAKEN AGAIN FOR SAME PROBLEM AND THE MECHANIC SAID THE A/C COMPRESSOR WAS OVERHEATING IT. IT WAS REPLACED, BUT THAT WASN'T THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT OVERHEATED AGAIN. THE LAST TIME IT WAS TAKEN AN OIL CHANGE WAS DONE AND CHECKED FOR OVERHEATING PROBLEM DUE TO SPOUSE TAKING SICK DAUGHTER TO SEE A DOCTOR IN LOS ANGELES. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS FINE AND OKAY TO TAKE TO LOS ANGELES. THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED DURING THE TRIP AND THE A/C WAS NOT USED ONCE DUE TO COLD WEATHER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CHEVROLET DEALER IN LOS ANGELES. THE MECHANIC SAID THE OIL WAS CONTAMINATED WITH COOLANT AND THE DEALER IN LAS VEGAS SHOULD HAVE NOTICED IT. THE HEAD GASKET AND OTHER RELATED PARTS AND FLUIDS WERE REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE $1790. I COMPLAINED TO THE MANUFACTURER AND FIRST THEY OFFERED $200+. I SAID NOT ENOUGH, SO THEY OFFERED $400. I SAID IT DIDN'T EVEN COVER THE A/C COMPRESSOR THAT WAS GOOD AND NOT THE PROBLEM, NOT TO MENTION THE MONEY I SPENT ON CAR RENTALS WHEN MY CAR WAS WAITING TO BE SEEN BY A MECHANIC. IT WAS NEGLIGENCE ON THE LAS VEGAS DEALER THAT MY DAUGHTER HAD TO SUFFER IN PAIN ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. AS FOR THE POWER STEERING PUMP AND HOSE. I BELEIVE THEY BROKE SOMETHING WHEN TRYING TO REPAIR THE OVERHEATING PROBLEM. THE POWER DOOR LOCK NEVER REALLY WORKED SINCE I GOT THE VEHICLE AND THE RADIO ALWAYS GOT VERY HOT WHICH COULD LEAD TO AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. I BELEIVE THIS VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THE ENGINE AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ESPECIALLY WHEN I WAS SHOCKED THAT OTHER OWNERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS.

CONSUMER RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE, 97V017, IN REGARDS TO WINDSHIELD WIPER SWITCH. DEALER CLAIMED SWITCH HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY REPLACED THEREFORE NO SERVICE WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS AN EARLY PRODUCTION AND NO ONE HAD REPLACED THE SWITCH. HOWEVER, THE WIPER SWITCH FAILED A WEEK LATER CAUSED BY A WIRE THAT HAD FRAYED AND CONSUMER HAD TO PAY RECALL REPAIRS. *TT

FRAUDULENT REPAIRS DONE BY GMT AUTOMOTIVE IN SCHAUMBURG, IL HAVE MADE THE VEHICLE INOPERABLE AND A SAFETY HAZARD. COMPLAINT HAS BEEN FILED WITH THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU AND THE ATTORNEY GENERAL WITH NO RESULTS. I CANNOT AFFORD A LAWYER BECAUSE I SPENT $2,500.00 TRYING TO FIX A CAR THAT HAD NOTHING WRONG WITH UNTIL GMT AUTOMOTIVE PERFORMED A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE.

1995 CHEVROLET LUMINAS APPARENTLY HAVE A KNOWN TRANSMISSION DEFECT WHICH CAUSES THE TORQUE CONVERTER TO LOCK UP AT VERY LOW SPEEDS, CAUSING JERKY & UNEVEN SHIFTING. WHEN DECELERATING THE TORQUE CONVERTER FAILS TO UNLOCK, DRAGGING DOWN THE RPM OF THE ENGINE TO VERY LOW LEVELS WHEN DECELERATING. THE TRANSMISSION SHOP I WENT TO IN ORDER TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM ADVISED ME THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN DEFECT FROM CHEVROLET, WHO HAD ISSUED A TSB CONCERNING THE PROBLEM. THE TRANSMISSION SHOP ADVISED ME THAT THE REPAIR WAS OVER $1,000 AND THAT IF I DID NOT HAVE THE REPAIR DONE THE VEHICLE COULD STALL WHEN DECELERATING SUDDENLY, POSSIBLY LEADING TO LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. WITH MY CAR THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, I HAVE NOT AS OF YET REPAIRED THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER I WAS ADVISED THAT THERE WAS NO FACTORY CORRECTION FOR THE PROBLEM AND ALL SERVICE WOULD BE FEEABLE. THIS APPEARS TO BE A POTENTIAL LIFE SAFETY ISSUE AS WHEN THE CAR STALLS POWER STEERING IS LOST AND UNTIL RESTARTED HAS NO POWER TO AVOID A CRASH. THANK YOU FOR THE EVALUATION OF THIS REPORT.*AK

CAR WAS PURCHASED AT A DEALERSHIP. I UNDERSTOOD IT WAS A USED CAR AND I WANTED TO PURCHASE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT LET US. TWO WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE THE TRANSMISSION BLEW.

THIS CAR HAS HAD A TOTAL OF 3 TRANSMISSIONS, NEW HEAD GASKETS AND NOW THE ENGINE FAILED. THE LOCKS ON PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE DO NOT WORK. THE CAR WAS WELL MAINTAINED. I WAS TOLD BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT THEY COULD NOT HELP ME IN ANY WAY DUE TO THE AGE AND MILEAGE ON THE CAR. I KNOW PLENTY OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THEIR CARS FOR AT LEAST 8 OR 10 YRS. AND STILL HAVE THE SAME ENGINE. I SUSPECT THE DEALERSHIP KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THIS CAR AND SOLD IT TO US ANYWAY. THE CAR WAS SOLD TO US FOR $12,500 THEY ADDED AN ADDITIONAL 25% INTEREST, SO IN THE END WE ARE PAYING OVER $20,000 FOR THIS CAR. IT IS NOW GOING TO COST ME $4,800 TO FIX THE CAR. THIS PRICE EXCEEDS WHAT I OWE. THIS CAR HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE DAY 1 AND NOW THE WINDOWS WORK WHEN THEY WANT TO. THIS VEHICLE IS USED TO GET TO WORK AND HOME, IT'S NOT LIKE I WAS OUT DRAG RACING IN IT. I'M JUST VERY UPSET. ANY FEEDBACK OR SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU.

THIS IS NOT A SAFETY DEFECT, HOWEVER, IT IS A FACTORY DEFECT. AT 33,731 MILES, PAINT STARTED BUBBLING, CRACKING, AND PEELING OFF THIS GM CAR DURING THE FIRST WEEK OF OCTOBER (ON OR ABOUT 10/07/99). WHEN PRESENTED WITH THIS DELAMINATION COMPLAINT (PAINT PEELING DOWN TO A GREENISH/GRAYISH COLORED PRIMER SURFACE), THE DEALERSHIP AND THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT ADMIT THAT A DELAMINATION PROBLEM EXISTED AND DENIED MY COMPLAINT CLAIMING "THEY DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH WHITE PAINT...WHITE PAINT IS AS GOOD AS GOLD" (I EXPLAINED THAT THE COLOR IS NOT THE PROBLEM...IT IS THE APPLICATION/PRODUCT OF PRIMER/SEALANT AT THE FACTORY) THEN THEY CLAIMED MY PROBLEM WAS DUE TO A "REPAINT" WHICH IS NOT TRUE. WHEN I PROVIDED A MILL GAUGE READING OF 4 (PROOF OF FACTORY VIRGIN PAINT), I WAS THEN DENIED CLAIMING "3YR/36,000MILES OUT OF WARRANTY"...LATER, THEY CALLED AND OFFERED 50% (BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT PROVE THE PAINT WAS NOT VIRGIN), AND NOW 75% PARTICIPATION BY THE DEALERSHIP/MANUFACTURER (WHICH THEY ARE NOW TRYING TO DECLINE) THE DEALERSHIP/MANUFACTURER WILL NOT PARTICIPATE 100% TO REPAIR/CORRECT THIS FACTORY DEFECT. THEY WANT ME TO PAY 25% TO CORRECT THEIR FACTORY DEFECT. I HAVE MAINTAINED THIS CAR ON A REGULAR BASIS AND, EXCEPT FOR THE DELAMINATION PROBLEM, THE CAR IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. I HAVE ALSO MAINTAINED LOW MILEAGE. I PAID 100% FOR A DEFECTIVE FINISH WHEN I PURCHASED THIS GM CAR NEW (UNDERSTANDING AT THE TIME THAT I WAS PURCHASING A NON-DEFECTIVE FACTORY FINISH), WHY WON'T THEY PAY 100% NOW TO CORRECT THEIR FACTORY DEFECT (STRIP ALL SURFACES DOWN TO THE BARE METAL AND REFINISH TO MEET OR EXCEED A NON-DEFECTIVE FACTORY FINISH)? AS AN APOLOGY FOR THE WAY THEY HAVE TREATED ME AND MY COMPLAINT WITHOUT CARE, THEY SHOULD PROVIDE ME WITH A COMPARABLE LOANER CAR AT NO COST TO ME WHILE REPAIRING THEIR FACTORY DEFECTIVE FINISH. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME IN READING MY COMPAINT. ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN PROVIDE IS APPRECIATED. SINCERELY, LINDA J. CLEMENTS. NO SAFETY DEFECT
