Received notice (#97v058000) on company vehicle; spoke to jeanette fisher & informed no chevy dealer has parts & do not know when they will. Said keep calling back every 2 weeks. Dealer will not compensate for non-use of company vehicle.
On may 8, 2000, vehicle was repaired at a chevrolet dealership shop.repairs included replacement of the starter and replacement of the turn signal lever switch which actuates several functions.on may 13, 2000, my daughter was involved in a 1-car accident when the steering failed due to the front bolts on the engine carriage detaching from the frame of the car.the result was that the engine dropped and the steering failed.an independent investigator determined in a report that it appeared these bolts had been loosened and withdrawn several inches recently before the accident, leaving only a fraction of an inch engaged in the retainers above in the frame, thereby leading to the failure.it is apparent that the technician who replaced the starter did this as a shortcut when he replaced the starter.since this is denied by the dealer, i am being forced to take them to court at the present time.

I feel dupped by the chevy corp. There are so many luminas in my area alone that have this peeling problem i have never seen anything like it. This is not an aging problem as chevy is trying to convince everyone, it does not have any thing to do with the age of the car because the paint that is remaining is new looking and very shiny. I have seen aging paint that cracks. This is a bubble & peeling problem, mostly in a verticle direction. It is a distinct look. In one week i saw 3 white luminas with the same problem. How dare chevy not take responsiblity for an inferior product. A simple paint job would service all complaints. I happen to like my lumina but i would never buy a chevy product ever ever again and my peeling lumina is a advertisement for an inferior product. I hope everyone that sees my car gets a clear message of what type of product chevy makes. Your company is certainly aware of this paint problem because i see many cars in my area alone with this exact problem. What a disgrace for chevy to get away with this. I am embarassed to ride in my car!!!!!!!
