This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 1997 Chevrolet Lumina. While driving at approximately 35 mph, the vehicle suddenly stalled completely losing all power. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and drive to a local mechanic who stated that the tire rods were defective, the engine mounts had fallen out, and there were electrical problems. The mechanic repaired the tie road and engine mount. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000. The current mileage was 199,876.
1997 Chevrolet Lumina with 3.1 L engine. Lower intake gasket leaking into engine. Cost to repair $900 us from dealer. Problem is apparently caused by using GM dexcool antifreeze and a defective gasket. GM is aware of the problem and knows it effects all 3.1L and 3.4L engines produced from around the mid 1990S to 2000. No recall has been issued by GM since this seams not to be a safety issue.
Consumer states engine looses power then engine dies, took to dealer and they rebuilt transmission, the passenger window will not roll up or down, water pump failed on July 24, flasher lever broke inside the steering column, brakes inoperative.
