Spark

  • 120 miles
I just returned a leased Spark ev and purchased a 1lt Spark. The 2017 model year had changes, but the issue is that the seat belt height is no longer adjustable! I am very short, and the seatbelt crosses my throat or collar bone area, which would injure me unduly in the event of a crash. I ordered the car, and still want it... but I want a fix for this problem from Chevrolet. This is very upsetting -- I have never had a car without some sort of manufacturer's adjustments for short and tall drivers. One sizing doesn't safely fit everyone. I am uploading a picture of the non-height adjustable safety belt, and one of how it fits a short person (me....62 inches tall) which I believe is unsafe. For all the safety recalls I have returned cars for in the past, this is as good or better a reason for a recall as any other.
