| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Not 2 days after regular scheduled service, the check engine light illuminated on the dashboard in mid 2005. i contact the daewoo dealer that had been the sole provider of service for the car since i purchased it for advise. after better securing the gas cap, i had no problem. the dealer is no longer a daewoo service provider. the same thing seemed to occur intermitently since then. i had a diagnostic checkup i was informed that the camshaft position sensor was the cause of the check engine light. while getting an estimate on an air conditioner repair, a technician mentioned the sensor as a recall item he was aware of as a fellow daewoo owner. i checked my service records and was not clear if the sensor had been checked or replaced. i checked the daewoo and nhtsa web sites and became aware this condition ( referenced as daewoo rsb-001-04/nhtsa campaign id number : 04v357000 for daewoo motor america - not to be confused with nhtsa campaign id number : 04v394000 for daewoo motor de puerto rico) might cause an underhood fire if it was not addressed. i went to a dealer service location identified from the daewoo web site where i was informed the sensor should be replaced but the part number or my vin fell outside the numbers used for no customer charge replacements. i paid to have the car fixed to remove the possibility of fire or other disastrous outcomes. *nm |
