I bought the car in July this year and about a month after I had the car I had to replace the drivers side rear wheel bearing and the fuel filter.
After about 2 months of owning this car I found out that my gas gauge is wrong and is off by about 1/4.
Not even owning this car 3 months I started having a different problem... this car started to "die" when I would be stopped or even when I was driving. I still have this problem because not even my mechanic can find what is wrong.
I also have a power steering fluid leak in the engine.
My dash rattles because a screw has broken and fallen out from somewhere underneath the dash.
This car has very good pick up with speed and is good on gas. I have hit 2 deer with this car and I have fixed what was damaged and you can't even tell it was in an accident.
The paint has chipped off a bit.. but that's nothing not to be expected. There is very little rust and is a good car.
It handles very well and is very quiet.
The front seats are very comfortable. But the back seat is a little small.
If your Lumina runs rough and occasoinally stalls at a stop, try replacing the fuel pump.
