1993 Chevrolet Lumina Complaints

BRAKES ARE DEFECTIVE, CONSUMER HAS TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALER A FEW TIMES FOR BRAKE PROBLEM, DEALER HAS ALREADY REPLACED CALIPERS, PADS, BRAKES LINES, AND SOME OTHER FEW ITEMS, BUT PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. *AK TWO MECHANICS, WHO REPAIRED THE VEHICLE, BOTH STATED THE REAR BRAKE CALIPERS FREEZE PLACING ALL WORK LOADS ON FRONT BRAKES CAUSING PREMATURE FAILURE OF FRONT BRAKES AND REAR BRAKE DISCS. *YH

THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 67,000 PLUS MILES. IT HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF. IT SHOULD NOT BE HAVING ALL OF THIS GO WRONG. I'VE PUT OVER $1000.00 IN REPAIRS ALREADY AND CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX THE POWER STEERING FLUID LINE THAT SPRAYS FLUID ALL OVER MY ENGINE WHILE I'M DRIVING IT. I MOSTLY DRIVE IT IN TOWN, AFRAID TO DRIVE OUT OF TOWN WITH IT. TOO MUCH, TOO SOON. *AK

CONSUMER IS HAVING PROBLEMS EVERY YEAR SINCE 1998 WITH BRAKES.*AK
