EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS
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

SUSPENSION:REAR:SHOCK ABSORBER
REAR STRUTS HAVE GOTTEN NOISY, WITH RATTLING AND GROANS. SEEMS LIKE A BUSHING IS OUT. ALSO SHOCKS ARE OVERLY FIRM, AS IF THEY ARE DEFECTIVE. THE OVERLY FIRM SHOCKS HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY REPORTED TO NHTSA. THE RATTLING HAS RECENTLY STARTED AND WHEN A SHARP BUMP IS HIT WITH THE RIGHT REAR TIRE, IT HAS A LOT OF SMALL SHARP BOUNCES, WITH THE TIRE ABSORBING THE SHOCK. REAR SHOCK/STRUT PROBLEMS SEEM TO BE VERY COMMON ON THESE CARS AND REPLACEMENTS FROM THE DEALER ARE $300. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM THAT GM SHOULD FIX, OR OFFER A DISCOUNT ON THE REAR STRUTS, SINCE SO MANY ARE BAD. THANKS.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I WOULD LIKE TO SAY I KNOW OF OTHER OWNERS OF THE CHEVORLET/LUMINA MAKE AND MODEL THAT HAS HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS. IT IS MY CONCERN AS A BUYER WHEN SAFETY IS OF CONCERN. IF IT WERE NOT FOR THE INFORMATION PROVIDED TO ME BY CREDIBLE RESOURCES I WOULD NOT BE DOING THIS. SAFETY IS A FACTOR. THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM IS THAT 1ST GEAR SLIPS. YOU HAVE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND THEN INTO DRIVE WHEN YOU STOP TO GET FIRST GEAR TO DEPLOY. CURRENTLY MY VEHICLE IS IN A DEALERSHIP AT THIS MOMENT AND HOPE THAT THEY WILL WORK WITH ME ON THIS. IF THERE IS ADDITIONAL RESOURCES THAT I CAN RETRIEVE...CAN YOU PLEASE SEND ME THE INFORMATION? I...AS A CONSUMER...WOULD LIKE TO BE COMPENSATED FOR THIS SAFETY DEFECTS.*AK
