1995 Chevrolet Lumina Sedan review from North America
"Very disappointed in shoddy workmanship"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 48K miles had to have the transmission rebuilt ($1600)
Around 85K needed more service on the transmission ($800)
Now at 100K miles my car is loosing coolant. I've been told I need to replace the water pump and fix the intake manifold to stop the leak ($900)
General comments?
While the car handles fine and the interior is comfortable, the quality of the workmanship is poor.
I've had numerous problems and I've found other mentions online from people who've had the exact same problems.
GM won't make any recalls on the things that are costing us tons of money because they don't represent safety hazards, just major expenses to the consumer.
I will not purchase GM again, I'm going with Toyota.
