1999 Daewoo Nubira

I OWN A 1999 DAEWOO NUBIRA. FOR THE LAST YEAR OR SO IT DOES WHAT THE TOYOTAS ARE DOING. MORE SO IN THE SUMMER MONTHS. THIS PAST SATURDAY WHEN I WAS STOPPED IT STARTED REVVING IN DRIVE, I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL, IT REVVED HIGHER, I PUT IT IN PARK AND IT SETTLED DOWN. THIS MORNING AT 2 AM. IN COOL WEATHER, IT EVEN WAS REVVING IN PARK, I HAD TO TURN IT OFF. WHAT SHOULD I DO. HAVE YOU HAD OTHER COMPLAINTS? THANK YOU *TR

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THAT PRIOR TO RECEIVING A RECALL LETTER PERTAINING TO THE ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING: CAMSHAFT CENSOR - CAMPAIGN ID # 04V357000, THE CONTACT HAD THE TIMING BELT REPAIRED ON TWO OCCASIONS AS WELL AS THE ENGINE INSTALLED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE CONTACT ASKED THE MECHANIC IF THE TIMING BELT AND ENGINE MALFUNCTION COULD HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY A DEFECT. THE MECHANIC DENIED THAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN THE CASE.

ENGINE WARNING SIGN SOMETIMES KEPT COMING AND GOING OR BLINKING. WENT TO A MECHANIC AND HE THOUGHT IT WASN'T THE PROBLEM OF THE ENGINE SINCE THERE WAS NO RECORD IN THE MEMORY IN THE CAR. AFTER A FEW WEEKS LATER, CAR STOPPED ON THE ROAD. TOWED THE CAR TO A MECHANIC AND DISCOVERED TWO PISTONS WERE BROKEN AND HE RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE TO ANOTHER ONE WITH NEW PARTS THAT BELONG TO THE ENGINE. IT COST ME $2721.01 TOTAL TO FIX. *NM
