1998 Daewoo Nubira review from Puerto Rico
"Don't buy it if you care about your life"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought an 1998 used car of this type on year 2000.
On 2001, its transmission broke down, and the car's 5-yr motor-transmission warranty covered up the parts/repair expenses, but the frontal left side tire ball bearing also broke up, and it happened outside the 3-yr piece warranty : (
On 2002, the power windows system on the the frontal passenger door and the driver's side rear door broke up. On this same year its interior trims began to peel off, and its brake system sometimes went "blank".
Finally, on September 2003 I had a fatal accident on the damned car going to work, and thanks to the driver's seat belt that broke up in the crash and to the airbags that never opened, had multiple trauma/fracture on my face, left ankle, right lower leg, and right chest ribs (broke 3 of them). Was incapacitated for six months because of this, and am still receiving physical therapy for full recuperation.
General comments?
A spacious car, that is not reliable nor secure to drive.
