 Engine light has been coming on since jan 2002. have replaced cam sensor once, fuel filter once, oxygen sensor twice and now they say it might be the fuel injectors. they ordered them but they are on backorder and could be weeks before they come in. the car is misfiring and hesitating terribly and constantly. the vehicle is unsafe and has been sitting in my driveway and hasn't moved since oct. 4, 2002. it has been nothing but an aggrevation since i bought it. if i could i would give it right back to the bank or daewoo. i haven't had my 3 year old daughter in my car in over a month because the car scares me to death. and because daewoo has filed bankruptcy there is nothing anyone can do to rush the part or get me a rental. i would never recommend a daewoo to anyone. and it is only worth about $3000.00 and i owe about $9000.00. one more problem and this car will be sitting permanently in front of bb&t bank or in front of lester raines imports or c & o motors. mr

 Manufactor/dealership will not honor the warranty on the car and blaming the car troubles on tire rotation faults, it does not state in my contract tire rotation but have kept up on the tire, oil records. the engine is shot and transmission. the brakes system could have caused me to get into a serious accident. the complaints on the car are a serious concern and need to be dealt with. no one seems to care about the safety of the daewoo lanos car help me. *ak

 Consumer received a recall notice. took vehicle to star pontiac on county rd, easton pa, telephone number 610 258 3800 for repairs. consumer insisted that the dealer was only suppose to be repairing the recalled part. consumer picked up the vehicle, but only drove it 1/2 mile it broke down. she called the dealer. he came, and without examining the vehicle told her that the timing belt broke. consumer said this could not be true because she had the timing belt replaced in january 2003.*ak *tc

 The timing belt tensioner for my lanos and my sons nubira both froze and caused the timing belt to break just as the warranty expired. something should be done so the tensioner does not damage the belt. this ends up being a very costly problem because the engine on both cars had to be changed.*ak
