MY CAR NEEDED IDLER ARMS AND BUSHING AND ONLY HAS 25K MILES AND I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THE PARTS NOW SINCE 12/17/02 AND THE PARTS ARE NOT IN AS OF YET THE PROBLEM IS WORSENING AND I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER MANY TIMES TO HAVE THIS REPAIT DONE I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE CUZ IT IS HARD TO CONTROL THE CAR IN THE WEATHER WE GET HERE. THE CAR SHOULD NOT NEED THESE PARTS WITH SUCH LOW MILAGE WHEN I AM NOT THE TYPE TO BEAT MY CAR ...I THINK THIS MUST BE DEFECTIVE PARTS SINCE THE DEALER COMMENTED ON REPLACING SEVERAL OF THESE PARTS IN THE SAME MAKE AND MODELS. I AM NOT SURE WHAT MY RIGHTS ARE I DID ASK THE DEALER IF THE CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE WHEN IT WAS IN THERE ON 12/17/02 AND THEY SAID IT WAS I AM VERY WORRIED THE PROBLEM IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND PEOPLE MAY GET HURT IF OTHERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUES...PLEASE HELP PROTECT ALL DAEWOO NUBRIA DRIVERS AND THEIR FAMILIES AND RESOLVE THIS ISSUE FOR ME IF YOU CAN
