The control arms on both of the front tires have gone bad and it was hell to have them replaced and the closest dealer that had parts at outrageous prices was in Tampa. There have been so many problems with this car and in speaking with my dealer that sold it to me the bank will not pick up my loan because of all the problems.
The alignment never stays intact. The batteries die very quickly.
That's what you get for buying a car nobody has ever heard of here in the USA.
Daewoo was long gone from N America by the time you bought this car in 2004. Ever heard of doing research before buying a car? And you say you have had a lot of problems and give the car a "0" in reliability, but the only problem you mention is the control arms, and in two years or less you have managed to put 37,000 miles on the car, so whatever the other problems were, they could not have been that bad? As far as batteries going dead, assuming you don't leave your lights on a lot, something is draining the battery. Any half-decent mechanic should be able to figure that one out.
But my Mother told me to buy this car!
I would have to ask what you hit.
The thing is if you do or did your research - you'll find that Daewoo was and always has been a part of General Motors as far as sales and service in the USA goes - they just never mentioned that fact when the cars were sold in the USA under the Daewoo nameplate. GM still sells Daewoo cars as is the Chevy Aveo. It's just now those who bought a Daewoo Laganza or other model labeled a "Daewoo," you were officially screwed by none other than General Motors who controls Daewoo - they just try to keep that fact, "hush-hush."
