TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 CHEVROLET LUMINA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION. THE FAILURE WAS LOCATED AT THE ENGINE INTAKE MANIFOLD, WHICH FAILED AND CAUSED SEVERAL FLUIDS TO LEAK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 240,000.
THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 45MPH. I GOT OUT OF THE CAR, LOOKED UNDER THE CAR, AND WATER WAS POURING FROM THE FRONT OF THE MOTOR. I HAD TO HAVE TO CAR TOWED. THE MECHANIC THAT LOOKED OVER THE CAR SAID THAT THERE WERE ISSUES WITH THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND MY GASKETS. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 CHEVROLET LUMINA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR INDEPENDENTLY AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO VIBRATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSE THAT THE PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO FILED A REPORT BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.
HAD TO CHANGE BATTERY, THIS CAUSES THE ON BOARD COMPUTER TO RESET TO ORIGINAL SETTING. THE TRANSMISSION (4T65E) IS PROGRAMMED TO MAKE SHIFTS AT CERTAIN SPEEDS IN AN ALLOTTED TIME SPAN. BECAUSE NOW, THE CAR (2000 LUMINA) IS OLDER AND THE SHIFTS ARE A LITTLE LONGER THE COMPUTER SENDS MESSAGES TO THE TRANSMISSION TO FORCE PRESSURE ON THE LINES TO CORRECT SPLIT SECOND SHIFTING. THIS CAUSES HARD SHIFTING AND GRINDING SOUNDS. I STOP THE CAR, TURN THE MOTOR OFF, THEN ON AND ITS OK AGAIN FOR A FEW MORE MILES. A TRANSMISSION SHOP WANTS $1400.00 TO FIX PROBLEM, BUT THE PROBLEM IS A NOT SO SMART COMPUTER THAT DOESN'T ALLOW FOR A CAR TO AGE. *TR
