1999 Daewoo Leganza problems
The Daewoo Leganza is an executive car (E-segment), sometimes classified as luxury large family car (D-segment), that was manufactured and marketed by the automobile manufacturer Daewoo. The Leganza was available as a front engine, front-wheel drive, four door, five passenger limousine in South Korea over a single generation for model years 1997-2002 and internally designated as the V100.
The Leganza replaced mid-size luxury car Daewoo Prince and was succeeded by the Daewoo Magnus (V200) using a new version of the Leganza's platform. The name Leganza was a portmanteau of the Italian words elegante (elegant) and forza (power).
Development
The Leganza (V100), along with Lanos (T100) and Nubira (J100) were central to Daewoo's effort to develop a proprietary range to replace vehicles previously licensed from GM.
Daewoo turned to global consultants and suppliers in developing the three new lines. Under design direction of ex-Porsche and ex BMW engineering chief Dr. Ulrich Bez, the Leganza was developed in just 30 months, using Daewoo's growing in-house R&D network in Korea, Worthing and Munich along with other global consultants. Transmissions were provided by ZF and engines were sourced from GM Australia.
The Leganza was styled by Giorgetto Giugiaro of Italdesign, using the themes developed for Giugiaro's 1990 Jaguar Kensington concept, which also heavily influenced the 1991 Toyota Aristo (sold as the first generation Lexus GS outside of Japan). Styling was also compared to the Maserati Coupé, another of Giugiaro's designs. Bodywork achieved a Cd of 0.32 Cd.
Development of the Leganza began at the end of 1993, after work began on the Lanos and the Nubira, delaying the Leganza introduction in some markets. After initial research of the Leganza leading to development of a mid-size executive car, further work on the V100 (prototype name) began. Styling took three months, the summer of 1994, aided by ItalDesign's offices in Kensington. Road tests began in May 1995, ended exactly a year later, and the Leganza was ready for production in February 1997.

Common 1999 Daewoo Leganza problems
The Daewoo Leganza, produced from 1999 to 2004, is known for several common problems that owners have reported. Here are some of the issues based on the search results:
- Electrical Problems: Electrical issues are common in the first-generation Leganzas, with battery drain and charging problems being prevalent. Owners have reported malfunctioning sensors and warning lights, and electrical wiring problems can also cause issues in the Leganza's electrical system.
- Ignition Switch Issues: Specifically, for the 1999 Leganza, issues with the ignition switch have been reported. This can lead to difficulty starting the car or the engine shutting off unexpectedly.
- Fuel System, Suspension, and Brake Issues: For the first-generation Leganzas, there were also issues with the fuel system, suspension, and brakes. However, the second-generation Leganzas had improvements in these areas.
- Engine Problems: For Leganzas equipped with the X20SED or X22SE engine, common issues include overheating, misfires, and oil leaks. Proper maintenance, including regular oil changes and coolant flushes, can help prevent these problems.
- ABS Warning Light: The ABS warning light appearing on the dashboard is most likely caused by the ABS reluctor ring cracking, which can also damage the ABS sensor. This issue can be resolved by replacing the ABS reluctor ring and sensor if necessary.
- Starting Problems: Most starting problems on the Leganza are caused by a faulty camshaft position sensor. If this part has failed, the engine management warning light will appear on the dashboard. This issue was subject to a recall, and the camshaft position sensor will need to be replaced to rectify the issue.
- EGR Valve Blockage: The EGR valves are prone to getting blocked with a carbon build-up. If the EGR valve gets blocked, it can lead to hesitation and a lack of power when accelerating, poor engine idling, and surging. Cleaning out the EGR valve can fix the problem.
- Rough Running: Rough running can sometimes be down to a dud cylinder head gasket or the head itself. It's hard to perfect the wheel alignment, and there were a couple of recalls for a cruise control fault and a sensor that overheated. Checking these were fixed is essential.
- Mechanical Issues: The engine suffers from rough running, the automatic gearbox gives trouble, and the rest of the car will start to feel very second-hand. Electric gremlins are not unknown, and unless the Leganza in question is especially cheap, there are probably better alternatives.
In summary, the Daewoo Leganza has several common problems, including transmission issues, electrical problems, ignition switch issues, fuel system, suspension, and brake issues, engine problems, ABS warning light, starting problems, EGR valve blockage, rough running, and mechanical issues. Regular maintenance and proper care of the car's components can help prevent these problems, and repairs may include replacing the transmission control module, fixing any damaged wiring, replacing the battery, or fixing any leaks.

I hope you're doing well! I just wanted to share that I've driven over 40,000 miles in this car and I still really enjoy it. It's been a fantastic car, especially considering the affordable price. I did have to replace the brakes at 32,000 miles and the rear wheel bearings at 36,000 miles, but thankfully it was all covered under warranty. The first 36,000 miles were a breeze, with all maintenance covered, including oil changes.

Hey there! I bought my CDX brand new for 10K and it's been going strong with 67K miles on it. Overall, I don't have too many complaints, although I do worry that repairs might start to get expensive from now on.
-
I'm so glad I bought this vehicle! It offers luxurious accommodations at such an affordable price.

I recently switched from a Ford Taurus to a Leganza. I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it is to drive, almost like a toy car, and the pickup and speed it offers. However, my only complaint is the lack of an armrest/support for my elbows. The console is too low to lean on while driving, and the seat seems to sit up too high, despite adjusting it multiple times. Overall, the car runs smoothly and I hope it continues to do so.

Are you having problems with your 1999 Daewoo Leganza?
Kacey Farrell 2024-11-15
I purchased my Leganza SX in August 2009 with the hope that it would be fuel-efficient like other Asian-built cars with 2-liter, 4-cylinder engines. However, I do a lot of driving, including short 30-minute highway drives multiple times a day, and I have found that the gas consumption is not what I expected. My friend, who owns an Infiniti I30t (6 cyl) and a Mustang LX 5.0 v8, gets better mileage than I do in my car. While the Leganza SX may not be a Honda, Nissan, or Toyota, it is still a reliable car. Although the handling can be a bit loose and sloppy, and the motor/steering can feel like it's laboring at higher speeds, it is still a good car for the price. As with any car, parts can be expensive, but overall, I would recommend the Leganza SX to anyone looking for a reliable car that won't break the bank.

Hi there! I wanted to share my experience with my car that I bought brand new back in December 1999 from Madison Square Chrysler and Daewoo in Huntsville, Alabama. Overall, I've had decent service out of it. Unfortunately, I did have to pay out of pocket for two repairs that seem to be common issues with Daewoos: the fuel gauge stopped working (parts & labor cost me $140.00) and the brake light switch stopped working, which prevented the car from going into gear (parts & labor cost me $53.00). However, I do want to warn potential buyers about the resale value of Daewoos. I've had my car for just over 2 years and have tried to trade it in, but unfortunately, I've been told by car dealerships that Daewoos don't hold their value and that no one wants a used one. So, if you're considering buying a Daewoo, just be aware that you may have to take a loss if you decide to sell it later on. Thanks for reading!

The car has experienced some issues, including catching fire and needing a second engine before reaching 30k miles. Additionally, there have been frequent problems with small parts and it may require a new transmission. However, I am confident in the extended warranty provided by Daewoo before they went out of business.
