I PURCHASED A NEW DAEWOO NUBIRA IN JUNE 2000. IN MAY 2003 THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND REMAINED ON DESPITE NUMEROUS DIAGNOTIC AND REPAIR ATTEMPTS. THE LIGHT REMAINED ON FOR OVER A YEAR. IN JANUARY OF 2004 I TOOK MY CAR FOR THE NOW REQUIRED EMISSIONS TEST, IT FAILED DUE TO THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR. I PURCHASED THE REQUIRED PART, A CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR, ON 1/15/04 AND PAID A MECHANIC TO PERFORM THE REPAIRS. THE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN WITHIN 3 DAYS OF REPAIR. ON SEPTEMBER 12TH, I RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION OF DEFECT FROM DAEWOO MOTORAMERICA, ADRESSING THE SAID CAMSHAFT SENSOR. ONE MONTH LATER THE CAR BEGAN TO HESITATE WHILE I WAS DRIVING, AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE SMOOTHLY, FINALLY IT IN MAY, WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE INSTUMENT PANEL CAME ON, THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE AND THEN JUST SHUT DOWN. IN REGARDS TO THE SENSOR, I BELIEVE THAT DAEWOO MOTORS WAS NEGLIGENT IN THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO NOTIFY CONSUMERS IN A TIMELY MANNER. AFTER VISITING SEVERAL CONSUMER AFFAIRS SITES, IT IS APPARENT THAT THIS DEFECT MANIFESTED ITSELF AS EARLY AS 2/2002 FOR THE MAJORITY OF CAR OWNERS, YET DAEWOO HAS TAKEN 2 1/2 YEARS TO NOTIFY OWNERS. *AK
