Owner-reported complaints naming the powertrain system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Powertrain reports that are not specifically the engine or transmission — driveshafts, axles, transfer cases and differentials. Every record below is an owner-reported complaint about the 1995 Chevrolet Lumina submitted to NHTSA — not a confirmed defect, not a recall and not a manufacturer bulletin. 9 reports on file name it.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN HEARD A LOUD NOISE. VEHICLE STARTED BOUNCING. TRIED TO ACCELERATE, BUT VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. COASTED TO SIDE OF ROAD. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION OF PROBLEM.*AK
WHILE DRIVING ODOMETER WILL INTERMITTENTLY STOP WORKING. SOMETIMES IT WILL ROLL BACK AND OTHER TIMES IT WILL NOT ROLL AT ALL. CONTACTED DEALER. *AK
I HAD MY LOWER BALL BEARINGS REPLACED BACK IN JULY OF 2000. I WAS ON THE INTERNET AND SEEN WERE YOU COULD PULL UP RECALLS AND PUT IN THE YEAR AND MAKE OF MY CAR AND THIS CAME UP. I HAVEN'T HAD ANY OTHER PROBLEMS CURRENTLY. IT COSTED ME AROUND $300.00 TO FIX BOTH SIDES. I AM SEEING IF I CAN GET REFUNDED FOR THIS SINCE I DIDN'T KNOW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL? I HAVE THE RECEIPT FROM WALT LUTI TIRE IN LEBANON, OHIO WERE IS WAS FIXED. *AK
LEFT BALL JOINT FELL APART WHILE LEAVING PARKING LOT. THEN WHEEL WEDGED INTO TIRE WELL AND BENT BODY METAL. THIS ALSO CAUSED THE AXLE SHAFT TO COME APART. IF THIS HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY, IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *AK
WHEN THE WHEEL PROBLEM OCCURED I FIRST THOUGHT I HAD A LOW TIRE. I STOPPED AND CHECKED ALL MY TIRES AT A SEVICE STATION. THEY WERE NOT LOW AND THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT THE LUGS WERE LOOSE. WHEN I WAS ALMOST HOME, THE WHEEL PROBLEM BECAME WORSE I SLOWED DOWN AND GOT HOME. I CALLED A WRECKER DRIVER HE HAD TO BACK IT UP TO PUT IT ON THE WRECKER. HE SAID IT WAS IN THE WHEEL BUT DID NOT SAY THE LUGS WERE LOOSE. I HEARD METAL CLANKING. ON THE CAR CENTRAL RECALL LIST THE BALL BEARING CAN FAIL AND CAUSE THE LUGS TO LOOSEN ACCORDING TO A CONSUMER COMPLAINT ON YOUR WEB SITE. WHY WAS THIS NOT REPAIRED BEFORE I GOT THE CAR. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS. WHY DID THE DEALER NOT KNOW ABOUT THE RECALL? WHAT GOOD IS RECALLS IF THE DEALERS AND CAR MAKERS ARE NOT NOTIFYNG PEOPLE ABOUT THEM? I HAVE A GM WARRANTY THAT I PAID 600.00 FOR THEY WOULD NOT PAY ON THIS. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUS HAD I BEEN GOING FASTER. AT BEATTY CHEVROLET THEY TRIED TO SAY I HAD LET THE LUGS GET LOOSE. IT HAPPENED TO FAST FOR THE LUGS TO HAVE BEEN LOOSE WHEN I BOUGHT IT AT INTERSTATE MOTORS. CONSUMER LAWS HAVE GOT TO BE ENFORCED. AMERICAN LIVES DEPEND ON THIS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORT ON THIS MATTER. MARGARET WEST. *AK

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
