2004 Chevrolet Optra optra base review from North America
"Good reliable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch master cylinder failed, gm service bulliten fix available.
General comments?
I have owned an 2004 optra and I have very little negetaive feedback. The only problem I had that made the car undriveable was the clutch master cylinder faliure, of which there was a gm service bulliten to repair which I was made aware of (I worked at the dealer) before the problem happened. When it got really cold outside (-40 C) the master clyinder would stop working and the clutch would stay engaged. The only other issure I noticed is that when I had the oil changed at a service center other than the GM Dealer the oil plug leaked because they did not replace the plug gasket/washer. I have not replaced the timing belt yet, but I am going to at the next service.
