2001 DAEWOO NUBIRA Recalls, Complaints & Safety

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 DAEWOO NUBIRA WAGON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,941.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WHEN DIAGNOSED IT WAS RELATED TO A DEFECT IN THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. I CAME TO KNOW ABOUT A RECALL REGARDING MY VEHICLE MODEL ON THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR AND TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE CAR WAS NOT IN THE DATABASE AND REFUSED TO DO THE REPAIR. IN THE RECALL LETTER IT SAYS THAT WITH THIS CAMSHAFT DEFECT THERE IS A RISK OF ENGINE CATCHING FIRE. *TR

THE DAEWOO NUBIRA 2001 SHOULD BE RECALLED TO REPLACE LOWER CONTROL ARMS WHICH ARE ATTACHED TO THE SUSPENSION. I FEEL THE CONTROL ARMS' INADEQUACIES ARE CATASTROPHES WAITING TO HAPPEN. THE CONTROL ARMS ARE FAULTY AND COULD CAUSE STEERING FAILURE. THIS IS A PART THAT IS REPLACED ON THIS CAR MODEL TOO OFTEN. WHAT HAPPENS IF SOMEONE DOES NOT HAVE $700 TO PAY FOR REPAIR? I ASK THIS BECAUSE WHEN I DRIVE THE DAEWOO IT IS INCREASING DIFFICULT TO HOLD IT ON THE ROAD DUE TO THE FRONT END RACK AND PINION STEERING JERKING LEFT AND RIGHT. I LIMIT MY DRIVING TO THE SUPERMARKET AND SMALL ERRANDS BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM, AND BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT I DRIVE SLOWLY AND ON SMALL STREETS. GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY IS COMPLETELY OUT OF THE QUESTION. I WAS TOLD BY THE TECHNICIAN AT MOTOR CITY, ODESSA, TEXAS, 432-550-8721, THAT THE BALL JOINT MAY FALL FROM THE FRAME CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL. I NEED REPLACEMENT OF THESE CRUCIAL PARTS. I CAN LIVE WITH PEELING PAINT, BARELY FUNCTIONING ELECTRIC WINDOWS, AND A NON FUNCTIONING AIR CONDITIONER, BUT I CANNOT LIVE WITH A STEERING PROBLEM THAT IS VEERING OUT OF CONTROL. I KNOW THAT DAEWOO IS NO LONGER IN BUSINESS - BUT GMC IS. I ALSO KNOW THAT THE RATIO OF DAEWOOS TO OTHER AUTOMOBILES ON THE ROAD IS LOW; HOWEVER, ANY FUNCTION OR PART ON A PRODUCT THAT MAY CAUSE EVEN ONE ACCIDENT DUE TO MECHANICAL FAILURE SHOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY BY YOUR DEPARTMENT. AN ACCIDENT CAUSED BY A MALFUNCTIONING STEERING MECHANISM ON ANY AUTOMOBILE MAY LEAD TO SOMEONE'S DEATH. *TR
