1995 Chevrolet Lumina Heating & air conditioning Problems

Owner-reported complaints naming the heating or air-conditioning system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Heating & air conditioning 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.

THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS AT THE TAIL LIGHT SECTION WORK ONLY OCCASIONALLY. THEY WILL SOMETIMES WORK AFTER QUICKLY FLIPPING ON BOTH DIRECTIONALS. THE BRAKE LIGHT IN THE REAR WINDOW ALWAYS FUNCTIONS PROPERLY. FUSES AND BULBS ARE NOT THE PROBLEM. SINCE THIS PROBLEM WAS NOTICED BY ME I HAVE OBSERVED OTHER LUMINAS WHICH APPEAR TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR LOOKING INTO THIS AS MY MECHANIC TELLS ME THIS CAN BE A TRICKY AND EXPENSIVE PROBLEM TO DIAGNOSE LET ALONE REPAIR. ALSO, IS THERE ANY WAY OF FINDING OUT IF I SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE BALL JOINT PROBLEM WHICH WAS LISTED AT THE TOP OF THE RECALL FORM ON YOUR PAGE ? MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED IN THAT TIME FRAME. THANK YOU.
