DAEWOO HAS HAD TWO RECALLS FOR THEIR LANOS VEHICLE. ONE FOR THEIR CAM SHAFT POSITION (CMP) SENSOR AND RECALL CAMPAIGN NO.02V-131 FOR THE LANOS PASSENGER AIR BAG ASSEMBLY MODIFICATION. THE PROBLEM IS THERE ARE NO GARAGES SUPPLIED BY DAEWOO TO FIX THEIR VEHICLES. ADDITIONALLY, THEIR NUMBER FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE DOES NOT ANSWER (877-362-1234) TO PROVIDE A DEALER TO SERVICE THE CAR. PLEASE REQUIRE DAEWOO TO FIX THE CARS OR NOT ALLOW DAEWOO TO DO BUSINESS IN THE USA, UNTIL THEY FULFILL THEIR REQUIREMENTS TO DO BUSINESS IN AMERICA. THAT IS TO STOP ALL BUSINESS THAT DAEWOO DOES IN AMERICA. THANK YOU.*AK
