The daewoo nubira 2001 should be recalled to replace lower control arms which are attached to the suspension. I feel the control arms' inadequacies are catastrophes waiting to happen. The control arms are faulty and could cause steering failure. This is a part that is replaced on this car model too often. What happens if someone does not have $700 to pay for repair? I ask this because when I drive the daewoo it is increasing difficult to hold it on the road due to the front end rack and pinion steering jerking left and right. I limit my driving to the supermarket and small errands because of this problem, and because of this defect I drive slowly and on small streets. Getting on the highway is completely out of the question. I was told by the technician at motor city, odessa, texas, 432‑550‑8721, that the ball joint may fall from the frame causing loss of control. I need replacement of these crucial parts. I can live with peeling paint, barely functioning electric windows, and a non functioning air conditioner, but I cannot live with a steering problem that is veering out of control. I know that daewoo is no longer in business - but gmc is. I also know that the ratio of daewoos to other automobiles on the road is low; however, any function or part on a product that may cause even one accident due to mechanical failure should be taken seriously by your department. An accident caused by a malfunctioning steering mechanism on any automobile may lead to someone's death.

I have 2000 daewoo nubiria with 65k miles, I received a recall notice for the camshaft sensor. It upset me to learn that my car was not part of the recall. I have had my daewoo since aug 2000. I have had several problems go on with my car. In 2000, door handles peeling off (replaced) in 2002, new door handles peeling off (never received another new pair because of back order) in 2002, replaced back rotors and pads (back brakes locked up while driving, I paid for) in 2004, replaced stop lamp (could not move car into driving gear, I paid for) in 2004, engine check light comes on and off (thought this would be taken care as part of the recall; need to be replaced) in 2004, in line fuse (needs to be replaced) in 2004, lower control arms (needs to be replaced) in 2004, vc gasket (needs to be replaced) I cannot afford to put any more money into a car that is worthless and cannot afford to buy a new car....
