2001 Daewoo Puerto Rico Leganza engine complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 28 of 28, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Not 2 days after regular scheduled service, the check engine light illuminated on the dashboard in mid 2005. I contact the daewoo dealer that had been the sole provider of service for the car since I purchased it for advise. After better securing the gas cap, I had no problem. The dealer is no longer a daewoo service provider. The same thing seemed to occur intermitently since then. I had a diagnostic checkup I was informed that the camshaft position sensor was the cause of the check engine light. While getting an estimate on an air conditioner repair, a technician mentioned the sensor as a recall item he was aware of as a fellow daewoo owner. I checked my service records and was not clear if the sensor had been checked or replaced. I checked the daewoo and the federal safety agency web sites and became aware this condition ( referenced as daewoo rsb-001-04/the federal safety agency campaign id number : 04v357000 for daewoo motor america - not to be confused with the federal safety agency campaign id number : 04v394000 for daewoo motor de puerto rico) might cause an underhood fire if it was not addressed. I went to a dealer service location identified from the daewoo web site where I was informed the sensor should be replaced but the part number or my VIN fell outside the numbers used for no customer charge replacements. I paid to have the car fixed to remove the possibility of fire or other disastrous outcomes.
Dt*: the contact stated in march 2006 the vehicle was taken to the dealership because the check engine light illuminated. The dealership determined the cam shaft sensor was bad. A recall letter, # 04v357000, was received in june 2006 regarding engine and engine cooling; cam shaft sensor. The dealership denied repairing the recall. The contact was not sure why the repairs were denied.
Engine light came on and stayed on for about 10 hours then went off. Driver's side tail light is a darker color than all of the others. The shifter button came out and now I am unable to put the vehicle into gear most of the time. The vehicle was leaking oil when I got it.
Dt*: the contact stated a warning light illuminated on the dashboard indicating a problem with the camshaft position sensor; however no other problems have occurred. There is a the federal safety agency recall, # 04v357000, regarding the engine and engine cooking. The VIN was not included in the recall.
Dt*: the contact stated the check engine light flashed, the vehicle would make an odd noise, and intermittently stall at various speeds. The dealership replaced the camshaft position sensor. There is a the federal safety agency recall, # 04v357000, regarding the camshaft position sensor; however, it is not included in the recall due to the VIN.
Dt*: the contact stated there has been a challenge in getting a service dealer to perform recall repair #04v357000, regarding the camshaft position sensor. The contact was informed by the dealership that the vehicle had been repaired. However, the check engine light continues to illuminate constantly. The contact attempted to call the manufacturer, but no one answered at the manufacturer's phone number.
A couple of days before the incident I bought a car for my daughter when I was driving it the check engine light came on I took it to a parts store and they read it through the obd2 sensor and said it was the camshaft position sensor. I looked it up on the computer and there was a recall for the make and year of my car. I have a 2001 deawoo leganza VIN [xxx] so I took it to the dealer on apr 6 2005 when it had 32,831 miles on it and they said that it isn't part of the recall. I tried to contact deawoo and it was impossible due to the fact that they are out of business. I continued to drive it and then my daughter started driving it a couple of weeks ago when she turned the car off she saw smoke coming from under the hood and it was very smoky when she opened up the hood. Now we do not drive the car anymore due to the fear that someone can get hurt. I have never heard of a camshaft position sensor going bad under 100,000 miles let alone 33,000 if there was a recall on certain camshaft sensors then shouldn't this one be recalled also if it is faulty. Deawoo should widen their search for bad camshaft sensors. *nm updated 07/17/2012 *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
