2004 Chevrolet Optra 5 dr review from North America
"Lesson learned. Never buy a first model, first year!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brakes squealing - system repair in 05.
Cigarette lighter dead in 08 again in 09.
SSPS light on and off for about 2 years now.
Car stays on without any keys in it and dashboard lights all on and alarm goes off in middle of night - had ignition change cause (?) also back window washer changed cause (?) and also drivers door dropped cause (?)
Headlights seam to be misaligned.
Headlamps burn out at least once a year.
Fan motor replaced in 07.
New clock in 07.
Replaced gasket in 07.
Replaced CAM sensor 07.
Emergency brake cable replaced in 06.
Condensation in headlamp almost always.
General comments?
Not worth the money. By the end of my lease I will have paid a $30,000.00 car worth only $10,000.00. Thanks for the Lemon!
