SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DRUM
MY BRAKES WERE ACTING FUNNY, I TOOK THEM INTO USA MUFFLER & BRAKE THEY SAID THAT I NEED 4 NEW ROTORS ALL NEW BRAKES AND NEW REAR CALIPERS. THE REASON FOR MOST OF THIS DAMAGE IS BECAUSE AT SOME POINT THE REAR CALIPERS FROZE UP. I TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER SHOP AND THEY CONFIRMED THE SAME SO I HAD THE WORK DONE. I FEEL THAT GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD HAVE TO PAY SOME OF THIS BILL BECAUSE IF THE REAR CALIPERS HAD NOT FAILED I WOULDN'T HAVE NEAR THE DAMAGE! PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY RECALLS IN PROGRESS, THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THIS IS COMMON IN LUMINA'S

EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL:CARRIER/RACK
SPARE TIRE HOIST CABLE, WHICH HOLDS TIRE UNDER VEHICLE, FAILED ALLOWING TIRE TO FALL TO ROAD. IN MY CASE THIS HAPPENED WHEN LOADING VEHICLE WITH HEAVY OBJECT WHICH WHEN DROPPED ON DECK CAUSED TIRE TO FALL TO GROUND. IF THIS HAD OCCURRED ON HIGHWAY IT COULD CAUSE ACCIDENT FOR FOLLOWING VEHICLES. I UNDERSTAND THAT SEVERAL OTHER GM VEHICLE MODELS HAVE THIS ARRANGEMENT AND THAT THEY HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MECHANISM.
