STEERING: STEERING WHEEL/HANDLE BAR, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
CAR ROLLS BACKWARDS WHEN STOPPED ON SLIGHT INCLINES UNLESS THE BRAKE IS FULLY DEPRESSED. IT HAS CAUGHT ME BY SURPRISE A FEW TIMES. I WILL MENTION IT TO DEALER ON MY NEXT VISIT AS I THOUGHT THIS WAS A NORMAL THING FOR BIG CAR. STEERING COLUMN GIVES A LOUD CLUNK WHEN TURNING; IT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS NOT PROPERLY LOCKED IN THE ADJUSTMENT POSITION. I HAVE HAD IT CHECKED AND "NOTHING WRONG" WAS FOUND. I HAVE ONLY CHANGED THE STEERING WHEEL POSITION ONCE IN 1-1/2 YRS. YET IT STILL DOES IT CONSTANTLY AND IT IS SUCH A HARD CLICK THAT I FEEL LIKE THE STEERING WHEEL IS GOING TO DROP INTO ANOTHER POSITION. I WILL REPORT IT TO THE DEALER AGAIN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS
THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON THE BACK OF THE CAR DON'T WORK ALL THE TIME. THE BRAKE LIGHT IN THE BACK WINDOW WORKS ALL THE TIME. THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON THE BACK OF THE CAR ARE WIRED THROUGHT THE TURN SIGNAL, WHEN THE LEVER IS MOVED, ELECTICAL CONTACT IS LOST AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON THE BACK OF THE CAR DON'T WORK. I CAN GET THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO WORK AGAIN BY MOVING THE TURN SIGNAL UP AND DOWN, BUT AS SOON AS THE TURN SIGNAL IS USED THE BRAKE LIGHTS STOP WORKING AGAIN. I'VE TALKED TO 3 OTHER PEOPLE THAT OWEN 95 LUMINA'S THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THAT'S WHY I'M REPORTING THIS PROBLEM TO YOU. I'VE CALLED CHEVROLET AT 1-800-222-1020 ,THEY SAID ''THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM''. ANY HELP YOU CAM GIVE ME WILL BE APPRECIATED. *AK
