I have a 1995 Chevy lumina van and the steel frame under the drivers seat keeps breaking. I welded the first seat 3 times until it was so bad I had top buy another one. The second seat I got was the same and I am about to weld it a second time also. I know of another person with a 1992 lumina van who had the same problem. I can't believe it hasn't been recalled yet. Thanks.

My windshield wipers keep shorting out. Some times they work and sometimes they don't. the bracket to hold the front seat broke and had to be replaced. The handles on the passenger door broke and needed to be replaced and now the sliding door is doing the same. The brake light keeps coming on and the antilock brakes make a grinding noise when applied.
