General Comments:
This has been a wonderful car to own to date with one small issue, Daewoo has folded. My issues with my brakes were due to a bad mechanic and not the vehicle. I would advise anyone who owns one of these cars to cut your loses and trade this car in NOW!!! Replacement parts for it are few and far between. There is no prescribed Dealer support for this Make of cars any more.
Remember, it is hard to trade in a car that does not run...

I am upset and feel sorry you had such a lemon. I have this car and find it just lovely... it works wonderfully, and the strength of the housing of the front of the car saved me from horrific injuries in a recent head-on accident... the panel beater thought it would be a write-off, but no... it could be fixed... in Australia, we do have Daewoo dealers/workshops... I guess we are lucky... but I do wonder why the air bag did not work.. I was wearing a seatbelt and my chest hit the steering wheel, along with my chin... I am questing tomorrow if Daewoo Leganza have front seat belt pre-tensioners... which could have probably even saved me from my elbow/neck/shoulder injuries.

Summary:
An expensive-looking, solid car for peanuts
Faults:
As soon as we bought it, one of the lines went bad on the air conditioning. This caused water to condensate within the air conditioner which caused a musty smell in the car. Fixed under warranty.
At 52,000 miles, alternator went out. The dealership was barely able to get a new one and it cost $300 for the parts and labor, since the warranty expired at 36,000 miles. Dealership did not let me use a loaner car, which was very inconvenient and disappointing since it is our only car.
General Comments:
Drives like a BMW.
The leather used on the seats is very durable.
A joy to drive, lots of power for a 4 cylinder.
A comfortable family car.

Summary:
Owners of Daewoo may be in trouble
Faults:
This letter to Daewoo explains the problem best. I wish it was just a technical problem.
I had a flat tire today and called the number for roadside assistance. There was no message except that the number was not in service. I then called the number in my service book and was directed to yet another number. During this time I was standing out side in 95-100 degree weather now late for a meeting. The last Daewoo number I called directed me through a series of button pushing straight into voice mail. Three hours with no response I called back and spoke with an operator to find out that the roadside assistance was not being offered anymore. I left a message with her to have someone call me. As an owner of this vehicle I was told I would have roadside assistance. This was included with the car.. I am very disapointed with Daewoo and not having received any notice that this service as well as other services are discontinued. If I had known I would have made other arrangements and been better prepared. I understand you have declared bankruptcy and I plan to notify owners of Daewoo vehicles about the current situation.

Are you serious??? get a motor club... who cares if they don't have roadside assistance. what does that have to do with how the car runs or was manufactured... u had a flat, probably ran over a nail. I've done that in my audi, and benz... all dealer serviced hence does not have anything to do with the performance...???
