Complaints on fileComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

THERE ARE TWO RECALL ON THE DAEWOO LANOS'S CAM POSITION SENSOR. I'M GETTING ENGINE CHECK LIGHTS WITH A FAULT CODE CALLING OUT THE CAM POSITION SENSOR. MY MECHANIC SAYS I SHOULD TAKE IT INTO A DEALER TO HAVE THE RECALL DONE. MY DEALER SAYS THE SENSOR DOES NOT FALL IN THE RIGHT DATE CODE OR MANUFACTURER OF SAID SENSOR. IT COST ME 100 DOLLARS TO "CHECK" FOR THE RECALL WHICH I FIND OUT I DON'T NEED. BUT MY ENGINE CHECK LIGHT IS STILL COMING ON. THE DEALER SAYS MY SENSOR DOESN'T WORK AND WILL HAVE TO REPLACE IT ANY WAY. WHICH I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE PART AND NOW LABOR WHEN IT COMES IN. SO, BECAUSE OF A RECALL WHICH I DON'T NEED, I'VE PAID 100 FOR INVESTIGATION, 114 FOR PART AND NEXT IS LABOR FOR THE PART TO BE INSTALLED. I FEEL LIKE A SHEERED SHEEP. THEN I FIND OUT THAT THE DEALER GETS 55 DOLLARS FROM DAEWOO FOR CHECKING THE RECALL ALSO. *TR
