2001 Daewoo Puerto Rico Nubira Problems

TL* - THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 DAEWOO NUBIRA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED RECALL 04V357000. THE RECALL STATED THAT THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR MAY MELT, RESULTING IN A BURNING SMELL AND VISIBLE SMOKE, WHICH MAY SUBSEQUENTLY LEAD TO THE MELTING OF THE CAMSHAFT COVER AND THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR WIRE HARNESS. THE BUICK DEALER REFUSED TO PERFORM RECALL REPAIRS DUE TO THE VEHICLE BEING OUT OF WARRANTY. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 62,007. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. *AK

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED ON DASHBOARD I HAD RECEIVED A LETTER FROM DAEWOO INDICATING THAT THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR IS BEING RECALLED AND THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE IT REPLACED OR RISK FIRE/INSULATION BURN DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE CMP SENSOR LOOKED AT, AND TO HAVE THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST RUN TO DETERMINE WHY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WORKING ON MY CAR HAS DETERMINE THROUGH THE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING THAT IT IS THE CMP SENSOR THAT CAUSED MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO GO OFF AND THAT IT MUST BE REPLACED FOR SAFETY PURPOSES. THEY HAVE ALSO DETERMINED THAT MY PARTICULAR CMP SENSOR IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE RECALL DUE TO ITS SERIAL#, AND THAT IT IS COSTING ME $300 TO HAVE THIS REPLACED FOR THE PARTS AND LABOR. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW MY CMP SENSOR CANNOT BE COVERED BY THE RECALL. I THINK THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE ENLARGED TO COVER MORE CMP SENSORS, OR OTHER DAEWOO OWNERS WHO DO NOT HAVE $300 TO CORRECT THIS DAMAGED SENSOR MAY ELECT NOT TO HAVE IT FIXED AND COULD DAMAGE THEIR CAR IN THE PROCESS. *NM

I OWN A DAEWOO NUBIRA THAT WAS UNDER TWO SEPARATE RECALLS. I WAS UNAWARE OF THE BRAKE RECALL AND TOOK MY CAR UP TO GET THE CAM SENSOR RECALL TAKEN CARE OF. WITHOUT MY APPROVAL OR NOTIFCATION, THE BRAKE RECALL WAS ADDRESSED. THE CAM SENSOR RECALL WAS FOUND NOT TO APPLY TO MY CAR. AFTER HAVING MY NUBIRA FIXED BY AN AUTHORIZED DAEWOO DEALERSHIP, MY BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED, WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM THROUGH DAEWOO OF LITHIA SPRINGS AT NO COST TO MYSELF. THEY HAVE MADE SEVERAL CLAIMS THAT IT WAS MY FAULT, IT WAS THE FAULT OF A POTHOLE AND VARIOUS OTHER ASSERTATIONS. I HAD MY CAR TOWED (AT MY EXPENSE) TO JUST BRAKES WHO SAID THAT THE HOSE UNDER RECALL WERE IMPROPERLY INSTALLED, RUBBING AGAINST MY TIRE CAUSING BREAKAGE. THIS COMPANY HAS BEEN VERY OFFHANDED ABOUT THIS SITUATION AND WON'T EVEN LET ME SPEAK TO THE HEAD SUPERVISOR. DAEWOO DOES NOT CARE ABOUT RECALLS OR THEIR OBLIGATION TO PROTECT THE PUBLIIC. *NM

THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE(02V257001) REGARDING THE BRAKE HOSE. THERE WAS NO DEALER AVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE RECALL. *JB

DT: THE CONTACT STATES SHE HAD EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE FRONT TIRES FOR THE PAST TWO MONTHS. THIS CAUSED HER TO GO THROUGH SIX TIRES IN THAT TIME. UPON INSPECTION, THE DEALERSHIP FOUND THE FRONT BUSHINGS WERE MISSING. BECAUSE THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED, THE REPAIR WILL HAVE TO BE DONE AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE. *NM

DT: 2001 DAEWOO NUBIRA. THE CONSUMER STATES WHEN DRIVING AT A 60 MPH THE VEHICLE SWAYS ALL OVER THE FREEWAY. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN LIKE THIS FOR SEVERAL YEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS CHECKED BY SEARS, AND THEY FOUND NO PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT END OR TIRES. THE VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS SINCE PURCHASE. DAEWOO DOES NOT KNOW WHY THIS IS HAPPENING EITHER.*AK

I HAVE A RECALL FROM DAEWOO MOTORS. THE LOCAL DEALERS IN FORT MYERS AND NAPLES NO LONGER SELL DAEWOO AND WILL NOT WORK ON THE RECALL. I HAVE E-MAILED DAEWOO TWO TIMES WITH NO RESPONSE. I NEED TO KNOW WHERE TO GET THIS RECALL DONE. PLEASE ADVISE. *JB

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE ON MY DAEWOO NUBIRA AND I CANNOT FIND ANYONE TO SERVICE THE CAR. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND I'M AFRAID THE CAR IS GOING TO CATCH ON FIRE. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM AND THEY SAY THEY ARE NO LONGER AFFILIATED WITH DAEWOO. I HAVE CALLED DAEWOO MOTOR AMERICA AND LEFT MESSAGES AND NO ONE HAS RESPONDED. *NM

THE VEHICLE WILL NOT STEER PROPERLY. WHILE DRIVING, NO MATTER WHAT KIND OF ROAD CONDITIONS, BRAKING OR SPEED, THE VEHICLE'S STEERING BECOMES UNCONTROLLABLE. ON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2004, I WAS DRIVING WEST ON I-10 AND THE CAR WENT FROM THE FAR RIGHT LANE INTO THE FAR LEFT LANE. IN THIS AREA, I-10 IS THREE LANES AND I WAS TAKEN COMPLETELY BY SURPRISE. IF ANY OTHER CARS HAD BEEN IN THE VICINITY, IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. *AK

THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE(02V131002) FOR THE AIR BAGS. THE DEALER WAS NOT IN OPERATION. *JB

FOUR (4) TIRES WERE PURCHASED (02/05) FROM FIRESTONE, 08/06 ONE OF THE FRONT TIRES SEPARATED, A SECOND FRONT TIRE APPEARS TO BE DEFECTIVE ALSO. TIRES WERE WARRANTED FOR 55,000K, THEY WERE DRIVEN ABOUT 17,223K. WHILE DRIVING 08/06 VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE BADLY, UPON CHECKING, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE PASSENGER FRONT TIRE HAD SEPARATED. TOOK TIRE TO FIRESTONE, REQUESTING TIRE BE REPLACED AT N/C, THEY REFUSED CLAIMING (1) IT WAS MY VEHICLES FAULT, (2) TIRE WAS OVERINFLATED (3)TIRES HAD NOT BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED. I ASKED IF MY VEHICLE WOULD REQUIRE AN ALIGNMENT, DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE DEFECTIVE (SEPARATED) TIRE PROBABLY CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO BECOME MISALIGNED, WAS TOLD PROBABLY. I WAS CHARGED $46.80 (08/29) FOR REPLACEMENT TIRE,(08/30) $69.47 FOR THE ALIGNMENT AND UNFORTUNATELY, THE OTHER DEFECTIVE TIRE IS STILL ON THE VEHICLE, AND I AM HOPEFUL IT DOESN'T SEPARATE. I REQUESTED THE DEFECTIVE TIRE BE GIVEN TO ME AND I HAVE IT IN MY POSSESSION FOR INSPECTION. I HAVE E-MAILED FIRESTONE, INFORMING THEM OF THE PROBLEM(S), THEY HAVE NOT RESPONDED. *NM

MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE DAEWOO CORP. HAS FILED BANKRUPTCY AND IS NOT HONORING ALL FULL WARRANTIES. ALSO WE STILL OWE 9500.00 ON THE CAR THAT IS ONLY WORTH 2,000.00. HESE CARS ARE LEMONS AND I FEEL WE SHOULD HAVE SOME TYPE OF RECORSE T OGET ARE MONEY BACK OR WE SHOULD ONLY OWE WHAT THE CAR IS WORTH.WHTA CAN WE DO ??? THE CAR IS IN THE SHOP EVERY 2-3 MONTHS . IT ALWAYS HAS A BURNING SMELL WHICH I WAS BASICALLY TOLD IWAS IMAGINING IT BUT LOOKING UP RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE IFOUND THAT THE CAMSHAFT WAS RECALLED AND COULD CAUSE A UNDER HOOD FIRE. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THIS RECALL.*AK
