I do not know what system affects the problem my car is having it stalls in front of oncoming traffic on left turns it's done this to me 3 to 4 times and it scares me. It will start right back up and go but it'll still continuously throughout the day when I slow down or come to a red light. The speed control sensor went out and I replaced it and there seem to be middle or something on that. I've read different reports or seen on YouTube that people have reported the same problem with their cars it is definitely a safety issue had it not started up or had I panicked like I did the first time and almost not get it started but a car could crash into me because my car stalled in front of traffic the problem has not been reproduced for anybody and there has been no report to dealership insurance police anything like that. I have checked periodically to see if there is a recall on it and there hasn't been this is the first time I'm seeing where you can report something like this so I thought I would

The key is a problem. Personally mine has broken 4 times. The fob & base of the key is too big for the key itself. I know other Chevrolet models have had key recalls for the same reason, so I am not sure why they have not recalled the Chevy Spark keys because they are the same format as other models. It would be convenient if they separated the fob and the key. Currently my key is super glued because the dealership has this key on back order. I just replaced this key two years ago and it just keeps breaking.

THE HOOD LATCH IS CORRODED AND DOESN'T ALLOW THE HOOD TO STAY FULLY CLOSED AND TRUNK LATCH STICKS AND DOES NOT CLOSE PROPERLY WHILE BEING STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. I'M SCARED THAT THE HOOD WILL FLY UP WHILE MY SON OR I ARE DRIVING.

WHILE DRIVING OUR 2010 CHEVROLET SPARK, THE CLUTCH PEDAL SNAPPED OFF, WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION.

WHEN COMING OUT OF A STOP (RED LIGHT, STOP SIGN, ETC.,) THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE. I HAVE TO PULL OFF TO SIDE AND SHUT THE CAR OFF, WAIT A MINUTE, AND START IT AGAIN. ONLY THEN WILL IT DRIVE. IT DOES NOT DO THIS ALL THE TIME. HOWEVER, WHEN IT DOES, IT DOES IT MULTIPLE TIMES IN A SHORT TIME FRAME. IT HAS DONE THIS OCCASIONALLY SINCE I GOT THE CAR IN 2017. MY SISTER ALSO OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SPARK AND HERS DOES THIS AS WELL. *TR

FOR THE SECOND TIME IN A COUPLE MONTHS, WHILE TURNING LEFT ACROSS TRAFFIC THE VEHICLE LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND CUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE SUBJECT ONLINE AND IT APPEARS A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW A SOLUTION. AFTER THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT FIND AN ISSUE.
