2001 Daewoo Puerto Rico Lanos Engine cooling Problems

“The car I had was a daewoo Lanos. Didnt have air bags,brakes failing,engine malfunction,tranmission failed,if I give it gas it would stand still,poor quality tires,just after a 2 months the car was being taken to the auto shop many times until I was told the comp went out of business and was told not to come back because fixing the car would cost me thousands of dollars. Car eventually stopped running due to car memory shut down as told by a mechanic.brakes replaced several times,tires replaced twice,airbags were never put in.”

“There is an electrical smell when using the heater, the window will not defrost causing the entire car to fog up making visibility impossible especially when it is raining , 4 times the vehicle has filled up with smoke due to the oil filter not functioning correctly, on occasion it looks like the vehicle is on fire when it starts smoking from the out side.”

“Check engine light comes on and coded cam shaft position sensor error. Cost 350 dollars to have sensor replaced after being stranded and the car towed. Part was part of a recall but was ran at the dealership and the individual code was not included in the recall. Heater switch broke within 3 weeks of purchase of car cost 150 to have replaced. Cars value depreciated approx 8000 dollars in 4 years. It has no value according to kelly blue book.”

“The contact stated that there was a recall on a sensor for the engine. When the vehicle was taken to the approved dealership for repairs, they would not replace the part free of charge. The dealership determined the part number of the sensor on this vehicle was not covered for this recall. The consumer declined the repair. Updated 07/11/06.”

“The contact stated the check engine light illuminated. The dealership determined the problem could be the cam shaft position sensor, but informed the contact that because the vehicle was not exhibiting serious problems, there was no need to be concerned. An independent mechanic inspected the vehicle and determined the timing belt would need to be changed at 60,000 miles; however the timing belt failed before the 60,000 miles. …”
