“I have a 2000 Daewoo Nubira with 71,000 miles on it. The timing belt broke, and now I also need a valve job. The owner manual states to change this at 72,000 miles and when I contacted the manufacture they stated that the warranty is for 5 years or 60,000 miles. I feel that the manufacture has complicity in making good on the cost of repair, as there manual then must be misleading or should have stated to be replaced at 60,000 miles or less.”
NHTSA complaint #10045197, filed 2003-10, 71,000 miles“Camshaft position sensor needs to be replaced for second time. I had to get the camshaft position sensor replaced at my cost. Second time it burnt one of the fuses out. I am unable to pay another time for this recall. Contacted Daewoo at the number placed on your website. They told me to contact dealership. Dealership refused to do recall work unless I paid for labor and part first and then contact Daewoo for reimbursement. I cannot get my tags which I already paid for because car will not pass smog. Dmv gave me one extension already. …”
