“I have recently experienced numerous problems associated with my 1993 Chevrolet Lumina Apv van. Shortly after buying the van new in fall 1992 I found that the gas gauge would not accurately reflect the fuel when near the bottom 1/4. I reported it to the dealer twice with no changes made. In january of 1999, the rear trunk lid lock fell of and after having it replaced, I had to return it as the mech was loose at which time I was told they needed to replace the power locking system as that was the problem. …”

NHTSA complaint #706768, filed 1999-05

“Engine head gasket failed, causing coolant to leak into engine and damage bearings. Engine was replaced at a cost of $2,961.87. Two years later, same thing happened to remanufactured engine again, this time the intake manifold gasket causing coolant to leak into engine oil compartment and cause damage. Cost to us $390 ( not covered under jasper warranty because jasper did not install intake manifold gasket on remanufactured engine, halleen did).”
