2000 Daewoo Nubira review from North America

It took two weeks to get a replacement bulb for the fog lights.

I came out to my car after work one evening and found that the passenger side, side view mirror had fallen off. I was parked at the curb and there was no evidence of impact. The dealer replaced it, it was under warranty. It took three visits to complete the job and it took about a month to get the part.

I had to replace the brake rotor at 35,000 miles and 90% of my driving is on the highway.

The car is making a noise from the rear and I believe it's the brakes again. I can't drive my car right now because of another problem, so I haven't taken it to be checked yet.

The major problem is that there is an oil leak. The oil pump is leaking, the oil pan needs to be replaced. I have been waiting for the parts since Aug 26th. They have no idea when the parts will arrive. My car smokes very badly. They will not give me a rental car. I was told to take the car home because they didn't know how long it would take to fix it. I am very disappointed. The parts are minor parts and won't take much to fix it, but it is creating a major hardship for me. I don't live near public transportation, so I drive it to the grocery store and people pull me over and tell me that my car is on fire. It's very nerve racking. Also, I am recovering from a massive stroke and don't need to breathe the smoke. The oil is dripping onto the manifold and I am told that it's very dangerous to drive.

My brake lights have gone out twice, the first time because there was a crack in the lenses, and condensation had gotten inside, they fixed it under warranty the first time, I haven't taken it back for the second time yet.

My concern is that the problems have been minor, and trying to get parts has been a major problem. What happens if something major goes wrong?

The dealer I usually take it to, is trying to not service Daewoo's anymore.

The closest dealer is about 12 miles from my house, the next closest is about 70 miles, the one after that is about 85 miles from my house.

One more problem, I had to call around to find the size tires for my car. That size isn't commonly carried, when IA found them, they were very expensive.

The car is cute, but that's about it.

Obtaining service and parts is a major problem.
