I HAVE ALREADY REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP OF PROBLEMS WITH DECREASING SPEED, ACCELERATION AND CRUISE CONTROL OF THE DAEWOO NUBIRA. I HAVE A STANDARD SHIFT VEHICLE WITH FIVE GEARS. WHEN I GET THE CAR UP TO 60 MPH OR MORE AND LET UP ON THE GAS, THE CAR JERKS FORWARD AND BACK!! I HAD THE DEALERSHIP TAKE A LOOK AT THIS PROBLEM. THEY COMPARED MY CAR VERSUS A NEWER MODEL (WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) AND THEY FOUND THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT I FACED. THEY USED THE CRUISE CONTROL AND FOUND THAT THE CAR HAS A JERKING ACTION WHILE TRYING TO MAINTAIN ITS CRUISING SPEED. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY FILLED OUT A "TECH REPORT" AND THAT IN FUTURE MODELS THEY WILL WORK ON THE PROBLEM. I REALLY DO LIKE MY CAR, BUT I CANNOT STAND THE JERKING ACTION. I DON'T KNOW IF OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM OR IF IT IS JUST A COUPLE OF NUBIRAS THAT EXPERIENCE THESE PROBLEMS. EITHER WAY, I CONSIDER THIS A DEFECT IN THE CRUISE CONTROL AND ACCELERATION/DECREASE OF SPEED. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THIS REQUEST AND, IF POSSIBLE, COULD YOU INFORM ME IF THERE HAS BEEN ANY OTHER PROBLEMS SUCH AS THIS REPORTED. THANK YOU. - BRIAN P. BLYTHIN
