2014 CHEVROLET SPARK
MY DAUGHTER PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED IN DECEMBER 2019. TWO WEEKS AFTER SHE PURCHASED IT, THE HEATING SYSTEM HAD TO BE COMPLETELY REBUILT. NOW LESS THAN A WEEK AGO THE A,/C SYSTEM STOPPED BLOWING COLD. SHE HAD TO HAVE THE COMPRESSOR REPLACED. THEN TWO DAYS LATER, THE A/C STOPPED BLOWING COLD AGAIN. THAI TIME IT WAS THE PRESSURE SWITCH ON THE LOW SIDE. HER MECHANIC DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT AT SOME POINT GM ISSUED A "RECALL" NOT EXACTLY A RECALL, BUT A VOLUNTARY FIX FOR A/C ISSUES INVOLVING 2013 AND 2014 CHEVY SPARKS. APPARENTLY IF THE REPAIR HAD NOT BEEN MADE BY 2016, THEN ONLY APPLICABLE WARRANTIES WOULD APPLY. WELL, WE DIDN'T BUY THIS VEHICLE UNTIL 2019, BUT THE HVAC SYSTEM HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE FROM THE START. GM KNOWS THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE HVAC SYSTEMS BACK IN 2014. HOW CAN THEY ONLY REPAIR FAULTY EQUIPMENT FOR 2 YEARS? A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH OF "CHEVY SPARK AC ISSUES" WILL LEAD TO NUMEROUS REPORTS OF SIMILAR ISSUES. GM NEEDS TO STEP UP AND TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE FOR GOOD!

AFTER SETTING THE "CHILD PROTECTION" ON BOTH REAR DOORS BECAUSE OF MY NEW GRANDBABY I NO LONGER NEEDED IT SINCE HE WAS NO LONGER A BABY I DECIDED TO TAKE "CHILD PROTECTION" OFF. DOORS STILL WOULD NOT OPEN FROM INSIDE. LEFT DOOR OUTSIDE HANDLE BROKE AS WELL SO IT COULD NOT OPEN AT ALL. HAVING EXTENDED WARRANTY I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP WHICH WAS TIME FOR OIL CHANGE AND NEEDING OTHER PROBLEMS REPAIRED AS WELL. LEFT DOOR REPAIRS WERE"HANDLE SEPARATED"AND "REPLACED OUTSIDE HANDLE" WHICH WARRANTY COVERED. RIGHT DOOR WAS DECLINED COVERAGE BECAUSE IT WAS "THE CLIP FOR INSIDE CABLE TO HANDLE HAD SEPARATED". COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THE DIFFERENCE WAS? CLIP VS HANDLE?? SERVICE CONSULTANT WAS PUZZLED AS WELL? NEEDLESS TO SAY DOOR STILL ONLY OPENS FROM OUTSIDE. HAVING MANUAL LOCKS FIGURED I WOULDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS IN FUTURE. NEVER FIGURED A "MANUAL CHILD PROTECTOR" WOULD CAUSE ANY PROBLEMS. DUE TO LACK OF FUNDS DOOR STILL IS UNREPAIRED. I KNOW THAT IN SOME INCIDENTS IT ONLY TAKES ONE SPLIT SECOND BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH. GOD FORBID SOMEONE LOOSES THERE LIFE BECAUSE OF A SPLIT SECOND TOO LATE. MAYBE YOU COULD EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENCE AND IF OTHERS ARE HAVING ANY PROBLEMS AS WELL.

2013 CHEVROLET SPARK
SLOWLY PULLED CAR INTO THE DRIVEWAY. ENTERED THE GARAGE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. HALF WAY INTO GARAGE, THE ENGINE OVER ACCELERATED AND MADE THE CAR LUNGE FORWARD. MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE BRAKES WENT INTO ABS MODE, WITH PULSATING. THE CAR RAMMED INTO SOME STORAGE TOTES AND ALSO MY SNOWBLOWER. THE OVER ACCELERATION OF THE ENGINE STOPPED. ALL OF THIS TOOK ABOUT 10 - 15 SECONDS. NO AMOUNT OF PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL STOPPED THIS CAR. NO, I DID NOT HAVE MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL. THE CAR WENT INTO MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER 2 DAYS LATER. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY RAN SOME TESTS, HAD IT UP ON A LIFT & EVEN HAD A MECHANIC TAKE IT OUT TO TRY TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. OF COURSE, THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT ALL THESE OVER & UNDER ACCELERATION PROBLEMS BEFORE LIVES ARE LOST! MY CAR HAS A FEW MINOR DENTS ON THE HOOD, FROM FALLING TOTES MY SNOWBLOWER IS SLIGHTLY DENTED BUT MY NERVES ARE SHOT. I AM REALLY SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR.

CAR ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN WHEN BRAKING WHICH IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC AS CAR JUMPS FORWARD WHEN IT DOES THIS. CONTINUOUSLY RUNS AT OVER 4000RPM. CAR STALLS WHEN ACCELERATING MAKING PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC OR COMING OFF AN EXIT RAMP QUITE DIFFICULT AND WILL REV ON ITS OWN WHILE DRIVING. CONTINUOUS ENGINE NOISE AS IF CAR IS BEING REDLINED. CAR ALSO HAS DIFFICULTY GOING IN REVERSE. EMERGENCY BRAKE DOES NOT HOLD PROPERLY. CAR WILL ROLL BACKWARD WHEN IN DRIVE AND ON A SMALL INCLINE. ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH CAR WHERE STEREO WILL SPONTANEOUSLY CHANGE STATIONS AND THE DASH LIGHTS WILL FLICKER. HAVE MADE COMPLAINTS TO GM CONTINUOUSLY AND HAD IN DEALERSHIP MORE THAN 11 TIMES FOR REPAIR OF ISSUE. CAR WAS BOUGHT IN FEB 2015, FIRST TAKEN IN TO DEALERSHIP FOR ISSUE IN FEB 2015. IT IS NOW FEB 2016 AND GM REFUSING TO ADDRESS ISSUE. CAR FALLS UNDER LEMON LAW AND THEY ARE STALLING TO WAIT OUT TIME FRAME.

NOT EVEN 10,000 MILES IN I HAD A TIRE GETS A BUBBLE ON THE SIDEWALL. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT COVER IT OR SWAP IT OUT SAYING IT COULD HAVE BEEN DUE TO HITTING A POTHOLE OR CURB. 15,000 MILES IN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND HEAR A LOUD BANG AND THE AC DOESN'T WORK. I TAKE IT IN AND THE DEALERSHIP SAYS I COULD HAVE HIT ROAD DEBRIS AND WOULD NOT COVER ANY WORK ON THE AC, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. ABOUT A WEEK LATER I GET A LETTER IN THE MAIL ABOUT THE AC RECALL AND FIND OUT MY COMPRESSOR EXPLODED ON THE INSIDE DUE TO FAULTY PARTS. 20,000 MILES IN AND THE CAR WAS EATING A QUART OF OIL EVERY 2-3 DAYS AND STILL DRAINING IT AND RAN ROUGH. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT IS AND THEY WOULD NOT HELP IN WHAT THEY CALLED "LOOKING FOR PROBLEMS THAT CAN'T BE REPRODUCED". THEN NOT EVEN A MONTH LATER I GET A LETTER ABOUT THE RECALL AND HOW I NEED TO BRING IT IN AS QUICK AS I CAN BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE 'MAY' BE EXPERIENCING EXCESS OIL CONSUMPTION, DUE TO FAULTY PARTS. 40,000 MILES IN I'M GETTING THE TCS LIGHT ON WITH THE CEL FLASHING AT ME AND THE CAR STUTTERS AND LOOSES POWER ALL WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. GIVES THE CODE OF P0324 (KNOCK CONTROL SYSTEM ERROR). DEALERSHIP SAYS IT COULD BE DUE TO BEING DRIVEN ROUGH AND IT IS MY FAULT. I SHOULDN'T BE DRIVING 80 IN A CHEVY SPARK (THE HIGHWAY SPEEDS IN TEXAS). THE ENGINE HAS A LOUD LIFTER TICK IN THE HEADS. DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO OPEN THEM WITHOUT A FAULT CODE THAT INDICATES A HEAD ISSUE. 47,000 MILES IN I HAVE MORE MISFIRES AND ERROR CODES. TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT THEIR EXCUSE IS THIS TIME.
