2004 Chevrolet Optra optra base from North America - Comments

Clutch master cylinder failed, gm service bulliten fix available.

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.

Hi,

I read your article about the '04 Chevrolet Optra.

Not sure where you got the information about the Clutch Master Cylinder seizing.

I called GM and asked about it and they say that there is no such recall for the Chevrolet Optra standard version or automatic version.

Can you please send information about the recall you found and give me the transport Canada Recall Number so that I can find out and get it done on my car.

I know of the Transport Canada Recall Number: 2007315; Units affected: 33,865 2004-2006: on the daytime running lights.

I know of the Transport Canada Recall Number: 2005021; Units affected: 23,507 (includes Chevrolet Epica) 2004: regarding the stop lamp on brakes.

I know of the Transport Canada Recall Number: 2007255; Units affected: 9, which talks about the seat belts problem.

Please post updated add about this, I will check in every few days.
