1991 CHEVROLET LUMINA — Complaint #128470
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DRUM:DRUM filed December 18, 1998
NHTSA complaint #128470 (ODI reference 543060) concerns a 1991 CHEVROLET LUMINA and was filed on December 18, 1998. The report was geocoded to UN based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as service brakes, air:drum:drum, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same CHEVROLET LUMINA cohort independently describe similar service brakes, air:drum:drum failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 1991 CHEVROLET LUMINA shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
