1 Equipment problem of the 1998 Chevrolet Lumina

Failure Date: 02/19/2020

This problem exists bwhen the vehicle is sationary and in transit. It appears to be intermitten as well. My brake lights work when I am braking, but they seem to intermittenly be failing when I use my directional switch (4 way). I have been advised on 3 occassions, twice by sheriff's deputies that my brake lights are not working. But they do work except when the directionals are on. After some research we have discovered that replacing the 4 way switch will resolve the problem. May I note that I have never had this device fail in any of my vehicles ever. That regardless of the ges and makes of my vehiclces the manufacturers have had the good sense to make certain the 4 way switch was reliable. Might I add linking braking with the switch might be consider irresponsible of the engineers. Has the 1998 chevy Lumina 4way switch been recalled!?.

2 Equipment problem of the 1998 Chevrolet Lumina

Failure Date: 11/12/2018

I was forced to drive this company vehicle by new transportation manager, even though I had another company vehicle assigned to me to drive. From 11/9/2018 to 11/13/2018 I worked overtime plus my regular week of work. It was the first time using the heater in this vehicle and I was working long hours with the heater on because the weather had changed. On 11/11/2018 at about 0600, I started having a headache and my throat was irritated but I went home at 0800 and came back to work overtime plus my regular shift on the same day at 2000. My headache had intensified and I took aleve for it and drank milk for my irritated throat and wen home at the end of my shift at 0800 on 11/13/2018. I worked the rest of the week but my headaches continued and on 11/19/2018, I asked the mechanic to smell the cabin of my vehicle and after smelling it, he told me to park it and report it to my manager because it had an exhaust leak. On 11/26/2018, I went to the hospital and the doctor placed me on modified duty unless I was not provided a different vehicle to drive and then I would considered temporarily fully disabled until 12/14/2018. On 11/28/2018, my manager told me I was going to be driving the dirty vehicle after I had asked for another vehicle. I had my supervisor smell the cabin and he gave me his truck to drive and I drove it for 2 days. On 11/30/2018, my supervisor told me that our manager had cleared the dirty vehicle and I had to go back to driving it but I went home fully disabled instead. On 12/4/2018, I was forced back into work and I drove my managers truck. On 12/5/2018, I drove the dirty vehicle to the fire station and it tested positive for an exhaust leak with carbon monoxide in the cabin. I had my 2 days off and on 11/8 and 11/9/2018, I have been staying at the office because they're forcing me to drive the dirty vehicle again and I can't go out to work.

5 Equipment problem of the 2001 Chevrolet Lumina

Failure Date: 07/15/2009

July 2009 I was driving on the interstate at around 75 mph when the engine died and wouldn't start, pulled off the road, engine would crank but not start, after a few minutes it started and I drove home. I called a mechanic and he said it probably was the ignition control module, go to the junk yard and get one. From then through December 2012 I replaced the ignition module three times. In December 2012 I replaced both the module and the crank positioning sensor, thinking that it could be causing the module failure. Three months later the engine died again I had the module tested, it was ok, had the car towed to the dealer, they checked it for three days and said the heat from the engine had made the crank positioning sensor to separate internally and it was replaced again. Car ran fine for three weeks and wouldn't start after driving around town let it sit for a couple of hours, started up on the first try drove it home. April 2013 my judgment tells me that the plug to the positioning sensor is the problem, when engine is hot the plug either opens up or shorts out from liquid from the engine. I checked with the parts man and he said he had sold one positioning sensor all year (mine) and sold 30 plugs going to it, I'm replacing my plug!.

6 Equipment problem of the 1995 Chevrolet Lumina

Failure Date: 02/19/2009

I drove a Lumina that had a problem that sounds like same type of engine shutoff problem that has been in the news lately. It happened most often when driving on the highway. As I decelerated on exit ramps, the engine would shutoff. This became a fairly regular occurrence with this car. Several mechanics were unable to solve the problem. (I believe it was a 1994 or 1995 Lumina that I owned. I could not find a record of it. ).
