1995 Chevrolet Lumina Apv Interior & seats Problems

Owner-reported complaints naming the interior system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Interior & seats reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

I HAVE A 1995 CHEVY LUMINA VAN AND THE STEEL FRAME UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT KEEPS BREAKING. I WELDED THE FIRST SEAT 3 TIMES UNTIL IT WAS SO BAD I HAD TOP BUY ANOTHER ONE. THE SECOND SEAT I GOT WAS THE SAME AND I AM ABOUT TO WELD IT A SECOND TIME ALSO. I KNOW OF ANOTHER PERSON WITH A 1992 LUMINA VAN WHO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT HASN'T BEEN RECALLED YET. THANKS . *NM
