POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
UPON ROUTINE INSPECTION I NOTICED A BOLT WAS LAYING LOOSE ON THE DRIVER SIDE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT ON TOP OF THE TRANSMISSION HOUSING. AFTER REALIZING WHERE IT WENT I NOTICED THAT ANOTHER BOLT WAS MISSING!! THE TWO BOLTS ARE THE TRANSMISSION TO ENGINE BLOCK MOUNTING BOLTS. I HAVE NOT FOUND ANY OTHER BOLTS MISSING OR LOOSE BUT IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE THEIR LOCATIONS. WOULD NOT WANT TO BE TRAVELING DOWN THE CROWDED HIGHWAY AT 65MPH AND HAVE THE TRANSMISSION COME APART FROM THE ENGINE!!!.......THANKS DAVE CORYEA

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR
ALTERNATOR FAILED AT 26,302 WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR, CAUSING A COMPLETE ELECTRICAL FAILURE. THE REPLACEMENT ALTERNATOR FAILED IN THE SAME WAY AT 50,461 WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AT 70 MILES AN HOUR. LOSING YOUR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING IS DANGEROUS. BOTH REPAIRS WERE DONE BY CHEVROLET DEALERS. THE ORIGINAL ALTERNATOR WAS AS DEFECTIVE AS THE REPLACEMENT THE DEALER PUT ON.*AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WENT TO OUR GARAGE, ENTERED THE LUMINA, FASTENED MY SEAT BELT, STARTED THE CAR, PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, AND PUT IT IN REVERSE. THE ENGINE ROARED AND THE CAR TOOK OFF IN REVERSE WHILE MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BRAKE. THE CAR PROCEEDED ACROSS AN ALLEY AND INTO THE DRIVEWAY OF THE RESIDENCE THERE; IT THEN CRASHED THROUGH THE 18 FOOT GARAGE DOOR (MY FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKE), THROUGH THE GARAGE AND THROUGH THE BACK WALL INTO ANOTHER NEIGHBOR'S BACK YARD WHERE THE ENGINE STALLED. A WITNESS WHO WAS DRIVING HIS TRUCK IN THE ALLEY SAID HE SAW THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON DURING THE INCIDENT. THE CHEVROLET DEALER DOING THE REPAIRS COULD FIND NOTHING MECHANICALLY WRONG WITH THE CAR. I AM AFRAID THIS SUDDEN ACCELERATION MIGHT HAPPEN AGAIN OR TO OTHER 1999 LUMINA OWNERS WITH EVEN MORE DISASTROUS RESULTS.*AK
