Owners have filed 332 complaints
about the 2000 Daewoo Nubira with NHTSA between 2000 and 2010.
The largest single group is the engine & cooling.
Across this model's run it ranks 1 of 4 worst.
The letter says how bad. This says what kind — whether this year drew
an unusual number of complaints, unusually dangerous
ones, or failures that arrived unusually early.
The dashed ring is 50 — the national norm. Further out is worse.
Complaint volume — 100
Against the median year of the Daewoo Nubira. 50 means typical for this
model; 100 means roughly double.
Severity — 30
5.7% of these complaints
involved a crash, fire, injury or death, against a national rate of
9.7%.
Early failure — 79
46% of failures with a mileage on record happened under
36,000 miles, against a national rate of
29%.
NHTSA files every complaint against a named sub-assembly, not just a
system. This is the difference between knowing it was "the engine" and
knowing which part of it — the list to hand a mechanic.

When owners complained
A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing
out on schedule across the whole fleet — the kind of pattern no single
owner can see from inside their own car.

Recalls on the 2000 Daewoo Nubira
A complaint is one owner's allegation. A recall is the point at which
the manufacturer or a regulator agreed the defect is real and dangerous
enough to fix for free — however old the car is.
United States — NHTSA

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR MAY MELT RESULTING IN A BURNING SMELL AND VISIBLE SMOKE, WHICH MAY SUBSEQUENTLY LEAD TO THE MELTING OF THE CAMSHAFT COVER AND THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR WIRE HARNESS.
Risk: THIS COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE AN UNDERHOOD FIRE.

CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 106, "BRAKE HOSES." A CRACK CAN DEVELOP IN THE OUTER RUBBER LAYER OF THE FRONT BRAKE HOSE(S).
Risk: THIS CAN RESULT IN BRAKE HOSE RUPTURE, BRAKE FLUID LEAKAGE, AND LOSS OF VEHICLE BRAKING.
Canada — Transport Canada
Canada runs its own recall programme, and its campaigns do not
always mirror the American ones.
Recall 20043504,219 units in Canada
Engine
On certain vehicles, the camshaft position sensor may melt resulting in a burning smell and visible smoke, which may subsequently lead to the melting of the camshaft cover and camshaft position sensor wire harness. This could possibly cause an under hood fire. Correction: Dealers will replace the camshaft position sensor and install an additional fuse.
Recall 20021781,165 units in Canada
Brakes
On certain vehicles, the outer rubber layer of the front brake flex hose may crack near the grommet. This could cause the hose to burst. Correction: Dealers will replace both front brake hoses.

CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR SECOND TIME. I HAD TO GET THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR REPLACED AT MY COST. SECOND TIME IT BURNT ONE OF THE FUSES OUT. I AM UNABLE TO PAY ANOTHER TIME FOR THIS RECALL. CONTACTED DAEWOO AT THE NUMBER PLACED ON YOUR WEBSITE. THEY TOLD ME TO CONTACT DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO DO RECALL WORK UNLESS I PAID FOR LABOR AND PART FIRST AND THEN CONTACT DAEWOO FOR REIMBURSEMENT. I CANNOT GET MY TAGS WHICH I ALREADY PAID FOR BECAUSE CAR WILL NOT PASS SMOG. DMV GAVE ME ONE EXTENSION ALREADY. TRIED TO ORDER PART FROM SEVERAL DIFFERENT AUTO PARTS STORES. THEY STATED THIS PART IS ON BACK ORDER AND COULD TAKE ANYWHERE FROM TWO WEEKS TO TWO YEARS. QUALITY MOTOR SHOP STATED CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR WAS A RECALL ITEM. WHAT GOOD IS NHTSA IF YOU DO NOT ENFORCE DEALERSHIPS OR COMPANY TO HONOR RECALL WORK?
