POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AT 6000 MILES UNDER 3/36 WARRANTY, THEN AT 76000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION WENT AGAIN. THIS TIME I TRIED TO HAVE IT REPLACED BY THE 5/75000 WARRANTY AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED. I HAVE HEARD OF OTHER CHEVY TRANSMISSIONS WITH OVERDRIVE HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. CONSIDERING THE TRANSMISSION ONLY HAS 70000 MILES THAT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED. PLEASE HELP ME IS AT ALL POSSIBLE. THANK YOU

REAR BRAKES DON'T ADJUST. AT 78,000 MILES REAR LININGS HAVE ONLY WORN ABOUT 10%. HAD SAME PROBLEM WITH IDENTICAL 1995 LUMINA WITH 59,000 MILES WE OWNED IN JANUARY 98. BOTH CARS REQUIRED HIGH PEDAL EFFORT. DEALER ADJUSTED REAR BRAKES AND TOLD US THAT PARKING BRAKE MUST BE USED FREQUENTLY TO SELF ADJUST REAR BRAKES. CAR STILL REQUIRES HIGHER PEDAL EFFORT THAN OTHER CARS I HAVE DRIVEN.
