Spark

  • 5,400 miles
At railway parking lot, first car blocked when backing out of space. After 3 tries, able to move on, exiting lot and about to turn right into street, car swerved hard right by itself and loudly hit curb. Passenger side wheel and tire totally damaged. I had to get it towed to collision shop. It is still at the shop where am told repair at minimum will cost over $ 1400.00! I found 2 recalls emails that same night and trul Y believe the car malfunctioned. Am just thankful no one was involved but me. Could have been dramatic if car was on the road and malfunction made me hit another vehicle instead of a curb. Have had to rent a car, and cost is mounting. Found thru online research that other Spark owners had same problem. This could cause fatal accident. Even when fixed, I will be petrified to drive this car again with fear of recurrence of same problem.
