I OWN A DAEWOO NUBIRA THAT WAS UNDER TWO SEPARATE RECALLS. I WAS UNAWARE OF THE BRAKE RECALL AND TOOK MY CAR UP TO GET THE CAM SENSOR RECALL TAKEN CARE OF. WITHOUT MY APPROVAL OR NOTIFCATION, THE BRAKE RECALL WAS ADDRESSED. THE CAM SENSOR RECALL WAS FOUND NOT TO APPLY TO MY CAR. AFTER HAVING MY NUBIRA FIXED BY AN AUTHORIZED DAEWOO DEALERSHIP, MY BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED, WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM THROUGH DAEWOO OF LITHIA SPRINGS AT NO COST TO MYSELF. THEY HAVE MADE SEVERAL CLAIMS THAT IT WAS MY FAULT, IT WAS THE FAULT OF A POTHOLE AND VARIOUS OTHER ASSERTATIONS. I HAD MY CAR TOWED (AT MY EXPENSE) TO JUST BRAKES WHO SAID THAT THE HOSE UNDER RECALL WERE IMPROPERLY INSTALLED, RUBBING AGAINST MY TIRE CAUSING BREAKAGE. THIS COMPANY HAS BEEN VERY OFFHANDED ABOUT THIS SITUATION AND WON'T EVEN LET ME SPEAK TO THE HEAD SUPERVISOR. DAEWOO DOES NOT CARE ABOUT RECALLS OR THEIR OBLIGATION TO PROTECT THE PUBLIIC. *NM
