Crappy car - 1999 Chevrolet Lumina
By Deann - December 30 - 11:45 pmWe bought this car new and from day one we have had problems with it. Had to replace brake drum a couple of times. They were so bad that we couldnt even get them cut.The drums kept burning up brake pads. Had to replace head gasket that cost me a pretty penny. Radiator leaks. Now there are problems with the transmission, sometimes it seems to be stuck in 1st gear. I dont know. I would never buy a Lumina again.

prepare to repair - 1999 Chevrolet Lumina
By DAVE ID - July 10 - 2:00 amIf you care at all about reliability this is not the car you want to get. At this time it is 4 and 1/2 years old. I havent even finished paying it off and I will have to junk it because I cant afford the repair bills. I fix this car almost every month For example in the past 6 months, I have spent $1200 to fix various problems. Just got an estimate today for another $1800. But, I wont fix it anymore and will junk it. Problems have been bad brake (too frequently need to be cleaned, resurfaced), intake manifold gasket, head gaskets, calipers, pressure control solenoid. See MSN autos site too. Those problems described were my problems too. STAY AWAY!!!
