1995 Chevrolet Lumina LS review from North America
"Lemon alert!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New engine due to gasket problem... oil leaking into engine at 46K ($3000)
New fuel pump/system 50K ($700)
New wiper pump 90K ($15.99 and we put it in ourselves)
New intake gasket due to oil leaking into engine 90K ($600)
New driver's and passenger door lock needed at 92K because I couldn't even get the door to close tight! Had to rig it with a bungee cord to get it to the mechanic! ($124)
New head gasket now needed at 93K due to oil leaking into engine. (estimate is $800...I'm still deciding whether to scrap the car or get it fixed)
General comments?
This car has caused me nothing but problems with the gaskets and oil leaking into the engine. You'd think that with all I've read that GM would make a better engine. See below for other opinions.
