2000 DAEWOO LANOS Engine And Engine Coolingenginegasoline Problems

TIMING CHAIN FAILS AND BENDS VALVES. WATER PUMP AND OTHER COMPONENTS FAILED AS A RESULT OF THE TIMING CHAIN FAILURE. CAR JUST WON'T START AT ALL. NO WARNING PRIOR TO FAILURE. REPAIR IS VERY COSTLY AND TIME CONSUMING AS PARTS HAVE TO BE ORDERED AND TAKE WEEKS TO ARRIVE. DESIGN PROBLEM ACCORDING TO MECHANIC AT CENTRAL VALLEY CHRYSLER IN MODESTO, CA- WHERE THE VEHICLE IS BEING REPAIRED. DT

ENGINE STILL MAKES A TAPPING SOUND, AIR INTAKE LEVER CABLE DEFECTIVE(DEALERSHIP CAN'T GET PARTS), WHICH CAUSES A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE. STEERING STILL PULLS TO ONE SIDE AND STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES, BRAKES STILL DON'T FEEL RIGHT ( HAD TO REPLACE BRAKE PADS AND RESURFACE ROTORS AT MY EXPENSE) BUT BRAKES STILL ARE NOT STOPPING RIGHT.

ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON SINCE JAN 2002. HAVE REPLACED CAM SENSOR ONCE, FUEL FILTER ONCE, OXYGEN SENSOR TWICE AND NOW THEY SAY IT MIGHT BE THE FUEL INJECTORS. THEY ORDERED THEM BUT THEY ARE ON BACKORDER AND COULD BE WEEKS BEFORE THEY COME IN. THE CAR IS MISFIRING AND HESITATING TERRIBLY AND CONSTANTLY. THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AND HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY AND HASN'T MOVED SINCE OCT. 4, 2002. IT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT AN AGGREVATION SINCE I BOUGHT IT. IF I COULD I WOULD GIVE IT RIGHT BACK TO THE BANK OR DAEWOO. I HAVEN'T HAD MY 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN MY CAR IN OVER A MONTH BECAUSE THE CAR SCARES ME TO DEATH. AND BECAUSE DAEWOO HAS FILED BANKRUPTCY THERE IS NOTHING ANYONE CAN DO TO RUSH THE PART OR GET ME A RENTAL. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND A DAEWOO TO ANYONE. AND...
