What owners wrote

Failure of mfs causes brake lights not to work unless pull back on turn signal switch. This is the 2nd lumina the company has owned that I have had this problem. Other car was 1992 same model & type. Dealer says they replace a lot of them. No indication is obvious that your brake lights are not working!! Rather costly repair charge $300.00 range as I recall from the 1992. Strange it happened on 1996 model also. Is there a secret recall or factory repair at no charge??

January 2002

1996 chevrolet lumina, brake lights not working except for in the rear window. If that bulb were to burn out, I would have no brake lights at all. I have discovered, and I am sure, that you are aware that this is a very common problem. Why has this not been corrected?
