Car was purchased at a dealership. I understood it was a used car and I wanted to purchase the extended warranty, but dealership would not let us. Two weeks after purchase the transmission blew. We bought another transmission from dealership and then that one failed. Finally, I complained to the manufacturer and received a new transmission. This car has had a total of 3 transmissions, new head gaskets and now the engine failed. The locks on passenger and driver side do not work. The car was well maintained. I was told by the manufacturer that they could not help me in any way due to the age and mileage on the car. I know plenty of people who have had their cars for at least 8 or 10 yrs. And still have the same engine. I suspect the dealership knew something was wrong with this car and sold it to us anyway. The car was sold to us for $12,500 they added an additional 25% interest, so in the end we are paying over $20,000 for this car. It is now going to cost me $4,800 to fix the car. This price exceeds what I owe. This car has been nothing but problems since day 1 and now the windows work when they want to. This vehicle is used to get to work and home, it's not like I was out drag racing in it. I'm just very upset. Any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I owned a 93 lumina, which I had the transmission rebuilt 2 times, due to complete failure. Now I own a 95 lumina, which I had to replace the transmission with a brand new one due to major failure. The computer and map sensor failed, requiring replacement by the dealer. Chevrolet can do better than this.

Transmission was replaced at 6000 miles under 3/36 warranty, then at 76000 miles the transmission went again. This time I tried to have it replaced by the 5/75000 warranty and they said it was not covered. I have heard of other chevy transmissions with overdrive having transmission problems. Considering the transmission only has 70000 miles that it should have been covered. Please help me is at all possible. Thank you
