1991 Chevrolet Lumina transmission problems

Filed Aug 15, 2002 · Transmission · MI

I would like to say I know of other owners of the chevorlet/lumina make and model that has had similar problems. It is my concern as a buyer when safety is of concern. If it were not for the information provided to me by credible resources I would not be doing this. Safety is a factor. The transmission problem is that 1st gear slips. You have to put it in neutral and then into drive when you stop to get first gear to deploy. Currently my vehicle is in a dealership at this moment and hope that they will work with me on this. If there is additional resources that I can retrieve...can you please send me the information? I...as a consumer...would like to be compensated for this safety defects.

On various occasions (not all the time), upon coming to a stop (I.e., waiting at traffic and or waiting for traffic light to turn green) the transmission will not, again respond to "d" position, even upon pressing the gas pedal (it just revs up). Then suddenly, the transmission will engage to the "d" position thus enabling the car to move in a very quick and or snap motion. I believe this could result in an accident situation, especially if there is a car in front of me. Some time ago, I had this problem checked out by a car repair shop and the attendent indicated that this was normal. I strongly believe this situation is not normal and may require further review. I will greatly appreciate any assistance you can provide.
