What 1992 Chevrolet Lumina owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
While driving bushing that are assembled to the frame of vehicle snapped and sheared off which caused the frame of vehicle to disengage from body. This resulted in engine dropping from vehicle and steering wheel to disengage. *ak consumer states that the bushings held moisture in between the frame and body causing the engine cradle frame to rot out.
Rear struts keep busting through the upper strut mounts. A friend and I have put 3 sets of strut mounts in and it appears I will have to do it again in the next couple months. Any support will be greatly appreciated.
Called gm 8/6/01, rear spindle arms bad, consumer was told vehicle is too old, they rust out, front end suspension is also doing the same,consumer got the same story. Vehicle stalls, loss of control and door handles break off.
I was informed by the garage the entire rear assembly was failing and needed to be replaced.
Rear intermitten thumping noise when driving 10-20 mpr. Rear brakes were replaced and inspected with no problem found. Rear suspension track cart, track struts and strut mount assy were replaced by midas mufflers/brakes in forestville, md on 9/20/96. This current thumping noise was noticed a couple weeks ago. I've contacted midas to seek inspection and warrantee replacement of the rear struts.
While driving lower front ball joint broke, causing the wheel to completely separate from vehicle. Please give any further details.
