1997 Lumina has paint peeling on hood and sides of car. I have seen this on several other white painted Luminas in town and am concerned that this is a paint defect. This peeling process has been going on for some time now but has recently gotten a lot worse.

For a long time, the hazard lights will not engage. Also the left turn signal will not work. I don't know if they are related. We had a "flasher switch" replace for the turn signal but it did nothing different.

The fuel guage componets will cost over 500 for parts alone. On the engine check light problem the O2 sensor at manifold was replaced and it drove fine for 1.5 months. It has done it again. Can humidity play a part. The car runs ok after a few minutes.

Windshield: Dashboard angle and the angle of the windshield affect the driving visibility. A design problem which seems to be in most of the new vehicles. It really affects the ability to see.
