1999 Daewoo Nubira review from North America
"Junk - Never again will I trust GM"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Gear shift was stuck, wouldn't go into gear.
Drivers side visor fell off at 59,000 miles.
Front hub cap just rolls off car.
Back hub cab rolled off and will not go back on.
Console shakes from the engine vibration.
Radio knob, when turned down, turns the volume up.
At 68,000 timing belt went taking both idler pulleys, the water pump, the pistons and the valves. Very expensive. There were 3 other Daewoos with the same problem in the same shop.
Repair Manuals are almost impossible to find.
General comments?
Daewoo, now GM, is by far the worst vehicle I have ever owned.
Cheap and bankrupt, mechanics and dealerships are charging outrageous prices for fixing these things.
