1999 DAEWOO NUBIRA Recalls, Complaints & Safety

I OWN A 1999 DAEWOO NUBIRA. FOR THE LAST YEAR OR SO IT DOES WHAT THE TOYOTAS ARE DOING. MORE SO IN THE SUMMER MONTHS. THIS PAST SATURDAY WHEN I WAS STOPPED IT STARTED REVVING IN DRIVE, I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL, IT REVVED HIGHER, I PUT IT IN PARK AND IT SETTLED DOWN. THIS MORNING AT 2 AM. IN COOL WEATHER, IT EVEN WAS REVVING IN PARK, I HAD TO TURN IT OFF. WHAT SHOULD I DO. HAVE YOU HAD OTHER COMPLAINTS? THANK YOU *TR

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THAT PRIOR TO RECEIVING A RECALL LETTER PERTAINING TO THE ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING: CAMSHAFT CENSOR - CAMPAIGN ID # 04V357000, THE CONTACT HAD THE TIMING BELT REPAIRED ON TWO OCCASIONS AS WELL AS THE ENGINE INSTALLED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE CONTACT ASKED THE MECHANIC IF THE TIMING BELT AND ENGINE MALFUNCTION COULD HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY A DEFECT. THE MECHANIC DENIED THAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN THE CASE. WHEN THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND ASKED THE SAME QUESTION THE DEALER DETERMINED THE CAMSHAFT CENSOR COULD ABSOLUTELY CAUSE THE TIMING BELT TO FREEZE UP AND AFFECT THE ENGINE AS WELL.
