1995 Chevrolet Lumina electrical complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 43, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The brake lights on the back of the car don't work all the time. The brake light in the back window works all the time. The brake lights on the back of the car are wired throught the turn signal, when the lever is moved, electical contact is lost and the brake lights on the back of the car don't work. I can get the brake lights to work again by moving the turn signal up and down, but as soon as the turn signal is used the brake lights stop working again. I've talked to 3 other people that owen 95 lumina's that have the same problem. That's why I'm reporting this problem to you. I've called chevrolet at 1‑800‑222‑1020 ,they said ''they have never heard of this problem''. Any help you cam give me will be appreciated.
The car was parked in my daughters garage. She was in the house when she heard a loud explosion. She ran outside to see what it was and saw that the front of the car was on fire. The car, her garage and several personal belongings were all totally destroyed. The car was burned to badly for the investigators to determine exactly where the explosion came from except somewhere under the hood.
Help my car is falling apart and the dealer wants huge sums to fix these problems some of which I believe are defects. $500 for a defroster switch-ouch, power locks failed, alternator failed, consumes 1 qt of oil every 800 miles, stalls at start in am. Can I get help from gm on these items ? Your help is appreciated
Horn would blow on its own. Informed by mechanic the air bag had a short which caused the horn to blow. There was no warning light regarding the air bag defect. Also, the driver side window has an intermittent electrical problem causing window to be inoperable. Dealer disconnected the air bag to keep horn form blowing, and gm offered to pay for half of the repairs needed to correct the problem. *ak

Alternator failed.
The horn requires a tremendous amount of pressure in order to operate. Dealer has seen.

It is extremely difficult to locate the position of the horn in a panic situation which could result in a vehicle collision. *ak horn only works with extreme pressure at only two specific spots. Two to five seconds usually occurs before correct horn position can be found.
Upon making a stop the brake pedal became very difficult to depress, causing extended stopping distance and loss of brake effectivness. In addition, the location and the design of the horn makes it difficult in an emergency to locate and depress the horn. Also, due to the shape of the windshield there is a strong reflection of the front section which is very bad during certain daylight conditions.
Difficulty depressing horn buttons.
If you leave the key in the ingition the car locks, will lock you out. Please describe.
