1995 chevrolet lumina apv drivers side seat track/frame breaks, causing the back of the seat to recline suddenly. I had a 1994 chevrolet lumina apv which was involved in an accident in febuary of 2001, in which the seat track/frame broke. Mine just broke while I was driving. Luckily I was it at a time when there wasn't much traffic, and I got stopped without an accident. I have talked to an upholestry shop and a dealer and have been told this is common on these vans.
Ref: NHTSA recall no. 97v017000 some of these vehicles have a strained or separated windshield washer/wiper switch wire. This can cause the windshield washer/wiper to work intermittently and could ultimately result in inoperative wipers. This has occurred twice during operation of my vehicle while driving on interstate highways and needing the wipers during a sudden rain storm. Five minutes later the wipers would be working again.
