UNKNOWN-?"My car-??s been doing this thing where it feels like the wheels "stick" for a second every so often while driving, but yesterday it was the worst it's been, doing it every few seconds. I thought maybe my gearshift was stuck between gears or something so I tried to make sure it was in Drive, but it slipped into Neutral for a second, & after that, my check engine light came on & my car started taking forever to get up to speed after coming to a stop-?"like, I was flooring it & it was crawling. It started doing this while I was in an intersection turn lane, & my car was moving so slow I had to wait for a protected turn & I still barely made it out of the intersection in time. My code reader said it was a transmission issue & there-??s a recall on other Sparks for the transmission. I had my car towed to my apartment but I haven-??t been able to find anybody to come inspect or work on it yet. I sent a message to my local Chevy dealer so they could check whether it-??s under recall, but I haven-??t heard back from them yet. Prior to this, there hadn-??t been any warning light or indicators.

Car fire in the engine compartment. Columbus fire inspector called it an electrical fire. On July 10 around 1:30 am, owner heard car alarm honking, saw big orange flames rising from the right front wheel well, called 911. Fire extinguished by F.D. upon arrival. The entire engine compartment burned out, everything not metal burnt away or remains as melted plastic slag on the driveway. Car was last driven 2 days before the fire, so the engine and exhaust were cold. There were no fluid leaks under the hood. Battery was 10 months old. No crash damage. No prior electrical issues. It was a good, reliable, heroic car. Had the car not been honking, owner may have been delayed becoming aware of the fire, leaving it time to spread to the dwelling where it was parked.

There are many electrical failures in this vehicle from the door alarm not sounding when the car has been turned off to the radio staying on and burning down the battery and the radio making changes to the stations volume, volume freezes and lowers or is totally unresponsive while the driver is driving, this is a major distracting. Also overhead light is unresponsive and flickers when it wants to. Subsequently these issues have required me to have 5 new batteries replaced since owning this car. A dealer wants to charge $225 to check this I have seen and heard other complaints. I can-??t possibly be the only one having these problems. My Vin number is not part of it. Previous recalls for some unknown reason. There has never been a battery failure, or warning light it just dies. I have video of the occurrence on most recently on January 11, 2020 for what has been occurring for years and very frequently.

My radio dash and audio indicators blackout without warning this weekend when I turned my car on. No blinker sound, no radio, no keys in ignition warning. Nothing. It's the same characteristics of the 2016 recall that was issued but GM will not fix it because my VIN does not appear on the recall list

Chevrolet Spark 2015 the vehicle does not respond after stop, or when turning and the speed is reduced. It takes too long to accelerate again..I almost had two accidents for this problem.I bought the car at automall miami lakes on Sept 13 from carlos morales, master especialist. On Sept 19 I picked up the car, but next day when I get to my job, the tire icon was signaling, then I went back to service, on Sept 21, the same tire signal, service put air and said there was no more problem, but I keep informing the accelerator situation that almost put me in 2 accidents, one while I was turning, with sufficient time, and the second while I was at a stop.light on Sept 24 he car had the tire icon again I asked carlos the carfax who sent me to manager alexander who gave me it, and shows the car had an accident in 2015.I signed it, but the manager refused to sign his part. I asked marcio for an official report list of all the days I've been there for the tire icon too. He told me the tire icon is not a problem that needs to be reported. That tires are not part of the car warranty. I made a claim with Chevrolet headquarter on Sept 26, claim 8-46665524641 the car warranty expires on Oct 25 2018. Carlos morales, master especialist, who sold me the car did not give too much importance to the carfax report, saying that those are small accidents, that the car is still good. But I told him that if I knew it, my decision would be not buying it. He told me that the Agency will help me if I find another car in automall announces or in the internet. In Sept 26, I went to see carlos again and show him other Spark online in automall that can be changed for the one that I bought, or to get my money back. He told me that I need to pay at least the first month, then add that I need to pay 2 months before they consider to change the car I bought.

12 trips to dealership, 70 days in shop, 5 dealerships, 3 states. The car cannot accelerate to safe speeds from a complete stop. Our ramps are metered and the car just won't go, have to have the car shimmy before it will go and the foot all the way down to the floor. GM states that this is normal. It's worse when the ac or heater was on, GM recommendation is to not drive with ac or heater on as it makes the car seem like it's under a heavy load. Also smell emits from vent that is making people sick. Took to fire station as the symptoms present like carbon monoxide. Dealerships have confirmed it's some sort of chemical but they don't know what it is. Doesn't matter if car is being driven or running while sitting still. Fire department said no co so now looking at having it tested at a air quality lab.
