2014 CHEVROLET SPARK Complaints

AFTER FULLY CHARGING UP THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE, GOING DOWN HILL AT APPROX 40MPH, LOST ALL POWER IN BRAKES, STEERING CONTROL AND THE FORWARD PROPULSION SYSTEM. DUE TO LOSS OF POWER VEERED OUT OF CONTROL ONTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND BRAKING SYSTEM WAS NOT RESPONDING TO PUMPS. AFTER PULLING ON STEERING WHEEL HARD FINALLY GOT VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL AND PULLED TO THE SIDE. VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALER. DID NOT HAVE VEHICLE AND DID NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE MORE THAN 30 MILES BEFORE INCIDENT HAPPENED. 2014 CHEVY SPARK ELECTRIC VEHICLE. RETURNED VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP PERMANENTLY. *TR

A WEEK AFTER I GOT THE CAR I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND IT JUST STOPPED. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS CONSISTENTLY FOR THE LAST 6 MONTHS NOW. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I AM AT A STOP SIGN OR A RED LIGHT, BUT IT IS ALWAYS AFTER I HAVE ALWAYS STARTED TO DRIVE THE CAR AND HAVE COME TO A STOP. THE DEALER CAN NOT FIND ANY CODE AND HAS SUGGESTED I USE A HIGHER OCTANE BECAUSE SOMETIMES WHEN I PUT ON THE BREAK IT WILL ACCELERATE AND THEY THINK IT IS "STARVING ITSELF". I HAVE TRIED HIGHER OCTANE GAS AND IT STILL TURNS ITSELF OFF!! SOMETIMES IT WON'T RESTART RIGHT AWAY WHICH SCARES ME BECAUSE WHAT IF THE COMPUTER TURNS ITSELF OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING AND I HAVE NO CONTROL!!! I HAVE FOUND OTHER PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET WITH SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR! THERE IS A YOU-TUBE VIDEO OF A SPARK OWNER SHOWING HIS CAR TURNING ITSELF OFF!! I HAVE A MANUAL SO IT WOULD BE HARD FOR ME TO VIDEO AND DRIVE AT THE SAME TIME!! ALSO, THE LAST TIME I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE AIR-CONDITIONING UNIT AND I WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK TO HAVE THAT FIXED BUT I CAN NOT FIND THIS RECALL ANYWHERE? DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS RECALL? THE DEALER SAID THE UNIT WAS TURNING ITSELF ON? IT SEEMS SCARY TO ME THAT THE COMPUTER ON THIS VEHICLE TURNS ITSELF OFF AND NOW IS TURNING ON THE AIR-CONDITIONING UNIT ON IT'S OWN!! THIS SOUNDS MORE LIKE A COMPUTER PROBLEM THAN AN AIR CONDITIONER UNIT PROBLEM!! ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED! I AM VERY WORRIED ABOUT DRIVING THIS VEHICLE! *TR

THE AIR CONDITIONER IS NOT COOLING THE CAR. BOTH ME AND MY MOM PURCHASED A 2014 CHEVY SPARK 2 DAYS APART AND WE BOTH ARE HAVING TROUBLE. IT WILL NOT KEEP THE CAR COOL. IT RUNS WARM ALL THE TIME. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER TWICE AND I AM REALLY NOT HAPPY WITH THIS. IT IS ALSO ABOUT TO BE SUMMER HERE IN AZ. I NEED A GOOD AIR CONDITIONER NOT ONE THAT WILL ONLY RUN COLD AT NIGHT. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2014 CHEVY SPARK ON 2-26-2014. 40 HOURS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND VEHICLE WAS STRUGGLING TO SHIFT. RETURNED TO DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT A SENSOR WAS NOT PLUGGED IN ALL THE WAY AND THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE WAS BECAUSE A NEW VEHICLE "NEEDED TO BE BROKEN IN...WHICH TAKES ABOUT 1000 MILES). SERVICE MANAGER DECIDED TO KEEP VEHICLE BECAUSE TRANSMISSION DIDN'T SEEM RIGHT. THEY KEPT VEHICLE UNTIL 3-7-2014 AND STILL DID NOT SHIFT RIGHT. HAD 4 DAYS, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. RETURNED CAR TO DEALERSHIP ON 3-14-2014 AND THEY HAD VEHICLE FOR 13 DAYS BEFORE ANY CONTACT FROM THEM. CALLED ON 3-27-2014 & THEY STATED THAT THEY HAD TO CHANGE PISTONS AND OTHER ENGINE COMPONENTS AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT BE READY FOR ABOUT A WEEK. TO FURTHER MY SUSPICION, THEY WANT ME TO COME IN ON 3-28-2014 TO SIGN PAPERS TO REFINANCE VEHICLE FROM GMAC AUTO FINANCE BECAUSE THEY "FOUND A LOWER INTEREST RATE"!! AND TO FURTHER MY DISGUST WITH THIS SITUATION, THEY NEVER SENT THE PAYOFF TO MY FINANCE COMPANY OF THE VEHICLE THAT I TRADED IN AND NOW THEY HAVE ADVERSELY AFFECTED MY CREDIT. I HAVE ONLY HAD POSSESSION OF THIS VEHICLE FOR 9 DAYS IN A 30 DAY PERIOD. ANY SUGGESTIONS?? *TR

I TEST DROVE A 2014 SPARK ON 3-6-14 AT VOSS CHEVY DEALERSHIP, THE CAR THAT I TEST DROVE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON. I DID NOT PURCHASE THE CAR THAT I TEST DROVE...THE SALESPERSON SAID THAT BECAUSE IT WAS A BRAND NEW CAR THERE WAS PROBABLY A MINOR GLITCH. I WAS INFORMED THAT A NEW BATCH OF 2014 SPARKS WAS COMING IN, SO I ORDERED A 2014 SPARK, I PURCHASED THE CAR ON 2-14-14, IT ONLY HAD 11 MILES ON IT. I DROVE MY CAR FOR ABOUT 4 WEEKS WHEN, ON MY MAY HOME FROM WORK, THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON AND IT BEGAN TO SMOKE PROFUSELY. THE SPARK HAD TO BE TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS INFORMED THAT A WHOLE NEW MOTOR HAD TO BE PUT IN THE CAR. I DO NOT KNOW IF THESE ENGINE PROBLEMS ARE A "KNOWN PROBLEM" WITH THE 2014 SPARK OR IF THE 1ST SPARK THAT I TEST DROVE AND THE 2ND SPARK THAT I BOUGHT WERE JUST FROM A BAD BATCH. *TR

24 HOURS AFTER PURCHASE OF A 2014 CHEVY SPARK, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR IS SLOW TO ACCELERATE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ON WHEN ARRIVING AT DEALERSHIP, BUT THE DIAGNOSTICS SHOWED A KNOCK SENSOR CODE. THEY DECIDED IT WAS A LOOSE GAS CAP AS THE VEHICLE WAS FILLED UP THE NIGHT BEFORE AND THEY SENT ME HOME. THE NEXT MORNING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR OVER A WEEK BECAUSE THE KNOCK SENSOR WAS ON BACKORDER. IT WAS REPLACED AND LESS THAN 24 HOURS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS BACK ON. THEY TOLD ME THEY WANTED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE IN A BRAND NEW CAR. I PURCHASED THE CAR 2/2/14. IT IS NOW 3/10/14, THE CAR ONLY HAS 300 MILES ON IT, AND HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER FOR SERVICE 3 TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THE CAR HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER FOR OVER 30 DAYS. I AM NOW WORKING WITH SOMEONE FROM GM AND ASKING THEM TO BUY IT BACK FROM ME UNDER THE LEMON LAW. *TR
