  ABS Failure at 70,000Kms - 1997 Chevrolet Lumina
  By GDF - June 13 - 2:00 am

  At approximately 70,000 Kms the ABS, light came on permanently, failure cause? described as requiring a total replacement of the ABS, phone call to " GM Warranty Headquarters" in Canada resulted in being informaed that the vehicle was over the 60,000km warranty period.. The GM Dealer representative , suggested I drive without ABS, returning to the Braking system I have used for the past 50 years... Results, excellent ABS is over advertised as being a safety feature? Good driving habits can provide equal results, in my opinion.

  The Good The Bad And The Ugly - 1995 Chevrolet Lumina
  By Motor mind - June 8 - 2:00 am

  As far as being dependable, the only major problem we have had is the intake manifold gasket leaked antifreeze into the oil. The car likes to rust on Bottom of the back doors and the rear quarter over the wheel well. The engine has a lot of piston slap when it is cold, when it warms up it goes away. This is extremely annoying to me. The engine doesn’t run as smooth as it should with the AC on. It does have good acceleration. The radio sounds good. The anti lock brake malfunction light comes on all the time. I have had the front end aliened many times, but the tires still don’t last very long. I would recommend putting 70 series tires instead of 75.

  good little car - 1992 Chevrolet Lumina
  By jesschrista - June 7 - 2:00 am

  i got this car when i was in high school, because it was cheap. i drove it all through college, and i love it. i drove the heck out of it, and treated it like crap, and it never let me down. i pushed oil changes to the limit, drove it fast, and drove over 100 miles a day for more than a year like that, and it never died. i love that car.

  Great car! - 1995 Chevrolet Lumina
  By happyguy53 - June 6 - 2:00 am

  We have had a 95 Lumina for 7 years, and it has been great! The car has a good pickup and go, (v6 engine to thank for that) and we have had to put remarkably few repairs into it. We even parked it outside in the elements for 4 years straight, and it stood up to the snow, sun, and rain without rusting. A good car, very reliable, and fun to drive, too. Chevy did a good job with this one.

  Good overall sedan. Rides like a bigger, smoother car. Not fancy, but good performer. I like it.

  WAS a good car - 1990 Chevrolet Lumina
  By CharlieK18 - June 5 - 2:00 am

  My grandparents bought this vehicle in February of 90 with 183 miles on it. As my first vehicle for the past 3 years, I hot rodded it quite a bit. But ofcourse it did not have power, so I built a coolair intake, added a throttle body spacer, changed to a sport exhaustm, and changed the cam to a sport racing cam. This total bumped me up to almost 200 HP. I was able to outrun people with the 3.1L engine. But over the past 3 years, the sport performance parts caught up to the transmission, and the other day, it was completely shattered. The car had approximately 128,000 miles on it. It was my favorite car, and will miss it no matter what else I have.

  These cars have a bad engine. They usually leak coolant into the engine.

  my lumina - 1990 Chevrolet Lumina
  By bisa - May 20 - 2:00 am

  i feel this car, from the perspective of a young adult, has a large outer body and unattractive appearance. due to my age i feel this car unsuitable in appearance however i give high marks to reliablity because this car gets me from locations a to b with moderate gas consumtion.

  Lumina - 1996 Chevrolet Lumina
  By lenny - May 16 - 2:00 am

  If it wasnt for the lousey design of the drivers seat this would be a wonderful automobile to drive. I presently have 140,000 miles on this vehicle and had the drivers seat repacked 3 times. I weigh less than 175 lbs. Until I reached approx 120000 this was a very dependable vehicle. The last 20,000 Ive had intake gasgets, alternator and last week a transmission.
