1995 Chevrolet Lumina APV Minivan review from North America

Oil Coolant went bad in the radiator which caused containments to enter the transmission.

Drivers side automatic window goes down, but will not go back up on most occasions.

Read door won't open most times.

Automatic locks work only half the time and when they do it takes several times trying before it will finally lock.

Passenger door will not open from outside.

CD player does not work properly, CD goes in and pops right back out. Trying to turn the power off on the system only kept the CD locked in the player. A brand new CD by the way.

Drivers side seatbelt will not retract which causes it to get stuck in the door every time you get out of vehicle.

Only half of the rear defogger lines work.

I have owned this vehicle for less than 6 weeks and already I have replaced the transmission (Cost $1,540.27), the radiator (Cost $500.85), the wiper blades (Cost $23.89), the drivers side mirror (Cost $43.48), and I have an appointment in 3 days to have the passenger side door fixed, the drivers side mirror replaced and the drivers side window repaired.

Seats are worn badly and the steering wheel has chunks missing from it.

By the way, I purchased an extended warranty from Penn Warranty Corporation for an additional $180.00 (7500 miles or 6 months) from the dealership and even though I have several letters from several transmission shops, the owner of the dealership and even their (Penn Warranty Corporation) own inspector said the transmission was bad and would be covered, it was not.

I did expect a "few" repairs would have to be taken care of, especially since it is a 1995 vehicle, but what I have spent in this short time I could have purchased perhaps something with not as many problems. I have read up now on these vehicles and learned what a lemon this particular Minivan is!
