2000 Daewoo Nubira CDX review from North America
"Very attractive exterior hides unreliable engine and parts"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Every tire has blown out within the first year and a half.
The front control arms had to be changed after 40000 miles. This problem would cause my right front tire to wear unevenly, and eventually be punctured by its own metal inside.
The brake lights stopped working twice. When I went to get them fixed, the mechanics put in the wrong brake lamp switch. This caused my cruise control not to work. I brought the car back 3 times to have the cruise control fixed. It took 2 years for them to get the right part.
I've had the starter changed twice. That didn't solve the problem that I am still having when starting my car.
Now the fuel injector or pump is getting vapor plugged, and my car won't start. Maybe there are more problems than I am aware of.
General comments?
Of course, I loved my car when I first got it and for about the first 20000 miles. After it hit 20000 everything started breaking.
It handles well, but has bad suspension.
It is comfortable to ride in, but the seats are hard.
I bought the highest warranty, and now it is not valid because of the company going bankrupt.
