“I have 3 different complaints. 1. The rotors on my car had to be replaced 3 times before I had driven 36,000 miles. They would wear unevenly, and cause noise and vibrations whenever the brake was applied. 2. The transmission leaked from the pan, and the gasket had to be replaced 2 or 3 times.the transmission still leaks. And the brakes need fixing again, but the warranty expired at 36,000 miles. 3.whenever the engine is under accerlation, my air conditioner does not cool. The vents close off preventing cold air from coming through. How many other owners have reported problems similar to these?”
NHTSA complaint #10025442, filed 2003-07, 7,000 miles“I have a 1999 chevy Lumina, that in 2007 both the rear door latches broke a few months apart I contacted the dealer both timeas and had the latch replaced at a cost of 2 approx. 200.00 each I had asked if there was a defect in the part once the same thing happened to the other rear door they replied no. I thought this was strange since I only use the veh to go to work and rarely use the back doors. The first time this happened my aunt was in the rear seat when I went slowly around a bend and the door flew opened and would no latch to close. …”
