Catastrophic sub frame failure. After 16 years of salted ne ohio roads the van's front sub frame collapsed and made the vehicle unsafe to drive. It would jolt from lane to lane while shifting, and had lost most steering control. Mechanics replaced over $700 of parts trying to fix the issue until a friend found the real culprit of the clunking and lost steering. Please be very wary of gm products in the rust belt. Replacement of sub frame solved all issues procured from initial problem however, and it is fairly inexpensive to have a sub frame shipped up here from arizona especially considering the engines/trans in these vehicles were just about bullet proof and it just didn't make sense to junk such a reliable running vehicle. Good vehicle otherwise and the unibody is galvanized, so the rest of the vehicle is sound.

I own two very similar gm made vans, a 1996 oldsmobile silhouette, and a 1994 chevrolet lumina apv van. Both had sudden brake failure due to the rear brake line bursting, in exactly the same place! Both had current inspections. This is very dangerous. I had to replace the rear brake lines on both vans. The fact that they failed at exactly the same point in the rear brake line makes me think this is a design flaw. When the line failed and was repaired, i also replaced the same line on the other side and found it weak and ready to burst. I still see many of these gm vans on the road and feel this is a safety hazard. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 1994 chevrolet lumina. The vehicle would not drive in reverse when the gear was shifted. The dealer stated that the transmission shell cracked due to a design flaw. Repairs were made. The current and failure mileages were 93,100.

The incident date that this occurred on was the third time it happened. I drove this car with no problems except for the anti-lock brake light and fastened seat belt lights coming on periodically for the past month. We had an unexpected snow storm, and i had driven approximately 10 miles and noticed when i had stopped at a convenient store that the battery voltage light came on. I took it home ,and a couple of hours later went to the grocery store. The anti-lock brake light, fasten seat belt light, and battery voltage light came on. As i pulled into the parking lot the car died and i was unable to restart it even though the lights, radio and etc were working.*ak this problem has occurred twice before in the past. I had got the fuel injectors and starter replaced, had the battery and alternator checked with no problems. A couple of weeks later, i went to start it and suprisingly it had started. The car does run excellent when this unexplainable problem happens though.

Dt: the contact states transmission still acts like it wants to overheat. The transmission was replaced on jan 5th the lines are leaking. The contact feels this is related to recall 96v015000. The contact has never received a recall letter. The vehicle has 202,000 miles on it. Also, the front and middle seat belts are not retracting. The webbing is coming off. This problem is in related to recalls 93v212000 and 94v100000. The contact has not received a recall letter concerning the seat belts. *ak updated 11/29/2005 - *nm the engine overheated, the intake manifold gasket was replaced. Updated 01/11/06. *jb the consumer is still waiting on a response from the manufacturer. Updated 05/24/06

The consumer stated that when turning on the vehicle, his foot was on the brake, he placed the vehicle in gear and suddenly the vehicle accelerated and went through the garage door. The consumer took the vehicle to a independent mechanic and was told that the problem could not be identified and was unsure as to why this happened. *ak *sc *jb

I have a 1994 chevrolet lumina apv. Back in 2000 i had the windshield washer motor/assembly replaced because of failure to operate on numerous occasions. In the past two years gm has issued a repair/refund for same motor for all other vehicles with problems but not for the lumina/lumina apv. This was a costly repair and would like to know what gm is going to do about it. I have called gm's customer service and reported/ inquired about this problem at least a dozen times. I know of many lumina owners who have had this problem and repaired them. When is this going to be resolved???*ak

I was reading information on the following: nhtsa action number : pe95062 nhtsa recall campaign number : n/a make : chevrolet model: lumina apv manufacturer : general motors corp. Year : 1994 component : electrical system:wiring my 1994 lumina apv started to smoke in the steering column on 2 occasions. I turned off the ignition key and it stopped. I turned it back forward to the on position without starting the vehicle and it did not smoke then, but when i went ahead and started the van is began to smoke again. Being the only vehicle i own and cant go without it, i carefully removed the 4 screws on the center wheel that holds the airbag, and found that the large yellow plug that conects the airbag was blackened by heat. Have you received any other notifications of this in the past? Thank you in advance.*ak
