"A salvage vehicle inspection is required to clear the salvage status of a vehicle. A DVS Inspection Specialist conducts the inspection."
Like I said, A salvage title doesn't need inspection, that's only if you want to CLEAR the "Salvage" off the title.
I don't think you realize that Daewoo is essentially a manufacturing plant for GM. That's it. They designed the chassis of the Sonic and Cruze. That's the frame, body panels, and maybe parts of the suspension. That's where it ends. Think no further. They don't do the engine, transmission, or electrical design. I doubt they even do the styling of the car. I imagine aesthetic design is mostly consolidated to a universal design team so that all their cars match appropriately.
GM uses parts across all it's lineups. If you can save 25 cents by using the same grill on 3 different cars with 5 different badge names and you sell 1 million cars, you've saved $250,000. Do that times 300 parts and figure out how much money you start saving. GM probably uses 2 different turn-signal stalks between 100 model cars. Headlight switches on the stalks is not an original concept, I'd say more cars have them there these days than don't
GM builds these cars in Korea because the labor so much cheaper than the US. They bought Daewoo's factories (back from themselves, essentially, since GM owned a large portion of Daewoo before they bought themselves out and crashed). The Daewoo name is sold in Korea because of its brand recognition. Just like GM sells Holdens in Australia. No one would know what a Holden is in the US if they threw up a dealer.
That's the point of statistics. First hand knowledge is not significant data unless compared with others experiences. Knowing this information you can make predictions. From predictions you assume numbers that represent things like risk. You can't make an accurate prediction off of your own experience that hasn't occurred yet with the same controlled parameters.
Let's pretend you're sick with condition X. Untreated 90 out of 100 people die. Treated with a drug 0/100 die from the disease, but 10 die from the side effect of the medication (so basically 10 out of 100 die). What would you do- take the drug and risk a 1/10 chance of dying or not take the drug and have a 9/10 chance of dying? Or will you just listen to your grandpa's advice that Mr. Jenkins' died taking the medication?
What is your preoccupation with the word "ass"? If you get hit in the "ass" your front airbags will not deploy. The airbags probably didn't deploy because there was something wrong with them. Par for the course it seems... especially considering the recall they have out on them. Please show me the information that says the airbag did not have a fault and that the recall was preformed.
You get 27mpg. I get 25, have 2 extra cylinders, 200 more hp, and all wheel drive. Something doesn't sound right here. Your car isn't running as efficiently as it should be. The fact that they're indicating warnings means there is a problem. That means an electrical issue. Otherwise why have have an OBD system?
Someone sent me a video about your recent car repair you posted. It said you let the coolant overflow so it will stop surging out of the reservoir? Is this true? Wouldn't this mean you have low coolant?
Don't keep your keys in the ignition then?
How does the radiator overheat without the engine overheating? They're in same system bro... The coolant takes heat from the engine and sends it to the radiator to dissipate. Coolant is taking that heat. There is no such thing as just a radiator overheating.
That would mean there is air in your system.
Well its just about the same level of logic. It doesn't seem to have solved your issue either. Letting coolant leak out so it doesn't overflow is like draining oil so you don't have an oil leak.
I've changed my mind, the fact this car is still "running" (debatable term at this point and I surrender) despite what has been/is being/has not been done to it a testament for its durability and resilience. Long live Daewoo.
🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄
1. Hence them being the Daewoo Kalos (sucessor to the Lanos), and The Daewoo Lacetti-Premiere (The successor to the Deawoo Lacetti (Suzuki Forenza in the US, Swift+ in Canada, Which was a Sucessor of the Daewoo Laganza) And the Chevy Cobalt, respectively
2. 27MPG CITY not highway, I am only suppose to get between 23/26 city........
3. No, The coolant was and is still well within it's limits.
4. You tell me, Rad Control relay gone = only accessory fan running, engine in operating range, coolant surges. Rad Control relay reinstalled, fans rarely turn on (normal) tempature is cooler, surging gone (topped off the coolant btw)
5. Letting it leak out was getting rid of the back-pressure in the system.
No one is interpreting anything. It's you that has this Daewoo junk in your head.
Not really no. The Chevy Cobalt, Cavalier, etc have them on the stalk.
Nope. That is incorrect. They do go off in T-Bone accidents. That's precisely why they're there.
How do I find the ECM fuse? Where would it be?
What's a scan tool? I tried plugging my laptop into the USB port in the car, but nothing popped up. What do I scan exactly?
I really want to clear this CEL. I'm considering taking apart the dash and pulling the bulbs too!
1. The Cobalt/Caviler also have a Lanos-esque side profile, both are 4-100 wheels, both are sub-compacts.
2. When was Side curtain airbags brought up, not many late 90s and early 2000s cars had them. I was talking about the FRONT air bags.
3. LOL
Pulling a fuse/disconnecting the battery does not clear a fault code on a BMW. Honestly, if you keep resetting it and it keeps coming back, it is indicative of a problem. That's why the system is there in the first place.
No, only Daewoo have it on the stalk. Anyone else who does has copied them.
Woah, Woah, Woah, who ever said anything about
side airbags. This is too sophisticated.
Hmm... did you go into the Finder? It should show up as iBMW as a device. Otherwise it show up in iTunes as a device. Just go into the settings tab and hit restore, just like an iPod/iPhone. You can try to use pocket PC and then go into windows explorer and then the My BMW folder and run the diagnostic program (after you do a defrag from the control panel of course). When it finishes press the reset button. If you have any problems just ask Clippy-
That's the best solution. No lights, no problems. Out of site out of mind.
LOL
Glad to see the totaled minivan had the fake antlers on it. Those are the Yuletide equivalent of truck nuts. Hate them.
OMG! ROFL "Truck Nuts" LOL that was a good laugh! (Seriously)
I guess that Nissan copied it from Daewoo too, since my first car- a '94 Maxima-had it on the stalk. That's despite the fact that the car was designed when GM still owned what would become the Daewoo plant.
I still miss that Maxima, even though I'm still absolutely in love with my LS even after 7 years of ownership.
Nissan Is not american, that's why.
And where is the light switch on your LS??
For that matter, I reliably get 23-25mpg on the interstate(depending on how fast I'm going) and have 2x as many cylinders as the Daewoo, twice the weight, about 2.5x the HP and nearly 3x the displacement.
Something definitely is wrong there.
23-25 Interstate? LOL i get more than that in the CITY!
GM vehicles also have auto-headlights.
Which is making my dad into a bad driver when he isn't driving his ATS since the ATS also has auto-high beams. He'll drive the Equinox or Suburban at night forget to turn the high beams on expecting it to turn on automatically. Then forgets to turn them off for on coming cars for again expecting the car to turn them off automatically.... 😛
how to auto-highbeams work? I never knew they had such a thing.
Nah, he'll pull all the fuses/relays out, so none of that stuff works. It's more hassle and money wasted for him, remember?
I'd love to have DRLs in fact the 1999 Lanos was the only one ever made with DRLs if only I could find out how that worked, there is no DRL Fuses or relays......
