THE CAM SHAFT POSITION SENSOR MALFUNCTION IN MY 2000 DAEWOO LEGANZA. MY CAR IS PART OF THE RECALL (I CHECKED VIN ON DAEWOO WEBSITE) BUT I DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL NOTIFICATION LETTER. I DO NOT KNOW WHERE TO GO TO FOR PARTS AND REPAIRS. ALL ATTEMPTS AT MAKING CONTACT WITH DAEWOO HAVE GONE UNANSWERED. I NEED HELP LOCATING A REPAIR SHOP TO MAKE NECESSARY CORRECTIONS TO MY VEHICLE. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 DAEWOO LEGANZA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FUEL CAP WAS NOT SECURELY FASTENED AND CAUSED THE FAILURE. HOWEVER, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR CONTINUED TO ILLUMINATE. SHE THEN HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED ACCORDING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBERS 04V357000 AND 04V394000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING), BUT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR CONTINUED TO ILLUMINATE. A DIAGNOSTIC WAS PERFORMED, WHICH PRODUCED ERROR CODE PO342 THAT PERTAINED TO THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT HER WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIRS; THEREFORE, SHE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS…

THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WOULD CHARGE HIM $135 FOR INSPECTING THE VEHICLE IF THE VEHICLE DID NOT FALL WITHIN THE SET OF LOT NUMBERS, BETWEEN 1000 LOT NUMBER OR 2321 LOT NUMBER, WHICH WOULD COVER THE TOTAL COST OF THE REPAIR. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED BECAUSE HE THOUGHT THAT UNDER THE RECALL THEY WERE OBLIGATED TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE FOR FREE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 50000. THERE HAS BEEN NO FAILURE TO DATE.*AK
