STRUCTURE
I OWN A 1990 CHEVROLET LUMINA 3.1L SEDAN AND HAD THE REAR CRADLE BOLTS FALL OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING, CAUSING THE STEERING SHAFT TO DISCONNECT SO THAT I LOST STEERING CONTROL. I CALLED 2 DEALERS AND THE CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE LINE AND ALL OF THEM DENIED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY CAR. I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND A GM DOCUMENT THAT STATED THE VEHICLES THAT WERE COVERED IN THE RECALL AND MINE FIT RIGHT INTO THE RANGE OF VIN NUMBERS LISTED. AFTER CALLING THEM AGAIN, THEY SAID THEY HAD FOUND THE LIST THAT I HAD, BUT SINCE MY CAR WAS NOT LISTED IN THE VISC THAT THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR MY VEHICLE. *NLM

STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE USED AND IT STILL HAD 1000 MILE WARRANTY FROM THE DEALER. WHEN I GOT THE CAR THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP SO THEY REPLACED IT. BEFORE I EVEN GOT OUT OF THE PARKING LOT THE (VIBRATION SHUDDER HOSE) WENT BAD. OR AT LEAST THAT IS WHAT THE GUY AT THE SERVICE AREA TOLD ME THE NAME WAS. THEY HAVE REPLACED THAT. AND FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS NOW I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING WITH THEM THAT THE POWER STEERING HAS BEEN WHINING. ALSO THE BRAKES DO NOT STOP TO WELL IN THE RAIN. I TRAVEL A LOT AND WE GO THROUGH BRAKES LIKE WATER. WE ALSO HAD THE AC COMPRESSOR GO OUT LAST YEAR DURING THE SUMMER. THE CAR WAS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD. WE KEEP OUR CAR UP VERY WELL. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND ALL THESE PROBLEMS. I KNOW THIS MAY NOT SEEM LIKE BIG PROBLEMS BUT WHEN I KEEP MY CAR UP AND HAVE BEEN FIGHTING WITH THE DEALER DUE TO WHINING THIS IS FRUSTRATING.*JB

SEATS
DRIVER SEAT OF 1992 CHEVROLET LUMINA APV MINIVAN HAS BROKEN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SEAT. IN ITS ORIGINAL CONDITION, SEAT HAD AN "ADJUSTABLE WHEEL" ON THE RIGHT REAR SIDE OF THE SEAT FOR ADJUSTING THE BACK OF THE SEAT FORWARD AND BACKWARD. AFTER THE SEAT BROKE, I INQUIRED AT SEVERAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS IN THE AREA AND THEY ALL STATED THAT THE SEAT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE THROUGH THE MANUFACTURER. I CONTACTED SEVERAL JUNK YARDS IN THE AREA BEFORE I FOUND ANOTHER SEAT. THE SEAT WAS PUT IN AND IT HAS LASTED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AND THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED TO THIS ONE. WHEN I INQUIRED AGAIN AT SEVERAL JUNK YARDS, I WAS TOLD BY SEVERAL OF THEM THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH BOTH FRONT SEATS, WITH THESE "ADJUSTABLE WHEELS", ON THE CHEVROLET LUMINA APV, PONTIAC TRANSPORT AND THE OLDSMOBILE SILHOUETTE. IS THERE SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE FOR THESE SEATS? I DON'T NEED THE SEAT TO ADJUST...IT CAN BE PERMANENTLY FIXED IN PLACE. RIGHT NOW, I'M DRIVING AROUND WITH THIS SEAT BACK LAYING IN THE SEAT DIRECTLY BEHIND THE DRIVERS SEAT. I ALSO BELIEVE THAT HAVING THE SEAT BACK LIKE THAT WHILE I'M TRANSPORTING OTHER PASSENGERS (WITH NO AVAILABLE SEATS LEFT) IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR THE PASSENGER IN THE SEAT DIRECTLY BEHIND ME. PLEASE ADVISE...SOON!! THANKING YOU IN ADVANCE...JOHN HALLMAN. *NLM
