What 1995 Chevrolet Corsica owners say
Brakes all 33 →
While driving on the freeway, traffic stopped but our car did not. The brakes were applied correctly and we had space to stop but we did not and rearended the vehicle in front of us. The 2nd time this happened on a city street when the brakes were applied suddenly. The car just did not stop. Mechanics can find nothing wrong with the brakes. GM recalled suvs with this problem. Is there a recall pending for our vehicle? Or how do we get this fixed?
Paint has been coming off all over the car, causing rust spots. Brakes sometimes do not catch and you have to push the pedal all the way to the floor. Also the brake and brake pads have to be changed once a month because they wear out too quickly. The power locks stick in the cold weather and will not lock or unlock until it warms up. When I was in a crash the drivers airbag did not deploy causing me to hit my face on the steering wheel.
Engine & cooling all 20 →
O.k. First problem I had was strong radiator smell. Replaced adiator due to crack, still had odor, then film on windshield, no heat,just cold air. Precepitation on inside windows, wet floorboard. Gushing leak from heater core. Replaced water pump & heater core. Still smelling very strong radiator fluid, gurgling sound at start up and turn off. Losing radiator fluid, but no leaks. Fluid comes from under cap (replaced 3 times already) at times and has overheated twice. Thermostat has also been replaced. Radiator smell is enough to choke you.
My car was made in 95 I bought it in 96. In August of 01 the car engine was all messed up. One day it stopped running while driving down the interstate. The body shop said a list of things were wrong. I have just finished paying for it in feb. 2003. But have not been driving it since aug. 2001. Cant afford to fix it.
