2000 Daewoo Lanos review from North America
"Rip off"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In July 2000 we bought 2 cars from Daewoo, my Lanos had 11 miles on it, the engine light has been on, I believe the part just came in 8 months later, and they say it will flash on and off, wish me luck at smog time.
In Dec both headlights burned out at midnight on the freeway, they "rigged" them together but refused to lend me a rental, husband had to threaten to sue, in order for them to replace the lights, which are currently uneven.
My transmission clamps were bad, replaced 4 and now I need a front brake job.
I feel I've been ripped off and regret ever being stuck with this car. Will never recommend these cars and am planning to stick lots of little lemons on the body of this car to warn others from buying. Not so much as an apology, nothing.
