BEARING INITIALLY WENT AT APPRX 40K MILES.. REPLACING SAME BEARING AT OVER $440 OUT OF POCKET (1) YR LATER AS EXCEEDED THE 12K MILES WARRANTY. SERVICE AT DEALERSHIP STATES "BEARINGS ARE NOT MEANT TO LAST".. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE A BEARING IN ANY VEHICLE, EVER. TO HAVE MY BEARING FAIL EAR YEAR IS A PROBLEM.

I WAS ADVISED TO REPLACE MY TIRES 8/2017. SINCE MY BRAND NEW TIRES HAVE BEEN INSTALLED, THEY LOSE AIR. EVERY SINGLE DAY MY LOW AIR PRESSURE INDICATOR LIGHT IS ON.. I SEE THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. WHAT IS THE SOLUTION..?

CHEVROLET SPARK 2015 THE VEHICLE DOES NOT RESPOND AFTER STOP, OR WHEN TURNING AND THE SPEED IS REDUCED. IT TAKES TOO LONG TO ACCELERATE AGAIN..I ALMOST HAD TWO ACCIDENTS FOR THIS PROBLEM.I BOUGHT THE CAR AT AUTOMALL MIAMI LAKES ON SEPT 13 FROM CARLOS MORALES, MASTER ESPECIALIST . ON SEPT 19 I PICKED UP THE CAR, BUT NEXT DAY WHEN I GET TO MY JOB, THE TIRE ICON WAS SIGNALING, THEN I WENT BACK TO SERVICE, ON SEPT 21, THE SAME TIRE SIGNAL, SERVICE PUT AIR AND SAID THERE WAS NO MORE PROBLEM, BUT I KEEP INFORMING THE ACCELERATOR SITUATION THAT ALMOST PUT ME IN 2 ACCIDENTS, ONE WHILE I WAS TURNING, WITH SUFFICIENT TIME, AND THE SECOND WHILE I WAS AT A STOP.LIGHT ON SEPT 24 HE CAR HAD THE TIRE ICON AGAIN I ASKED CARLOS THE CARFAX WHO SENT ME TO MANAGER ALEXANDER WHO GAVE ME IT, AND SHOWS THE CAR HAD AN ACCIDENT IN 2015.I SIGNED IT, BUT THE MANAGER REFUSED TO SIGN HIS PART. I ASKED MARCIO FOR AN OFFICIAL REPORT LIST OF ALL THE DAYS I'VE BEEN THERE FOR THE TIRE ICON TOO. HE TOLD ME THE TIRE ICON IS NOT A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE REPORTED. THAT TIRES ARE NOT PART OF THE CAR WARRANTY. I MADE A CLAIM WITH CHEVROLET HEADQUARTER ON SEPT 26, CLAIM 8-46665524641 THE CAR WARRANTY EXPIRES ON OCT 25 2018. CARLOS MORALES,MASTER ESPECIALIST, WHO SOLD ME THE CAR DID NOT GIVE TOO MUCH IMPORTANCE TO THE CARFAX REPORT, SAYING THAT THOSE ARE SMALL ACCIDENTS, THAT THE CAR IS STILL GOOD. BUT I TOLD HIM THAT IF I KNEW IT, MY DECISION WOULD BE NOT BUYING IT. HE TOLD ME THAT THE AGENCY WILL HELP ME IF I FIND ANOTHER CAR IN AUTOMALL ANNOUNCES OR IN THE INTERNET. IN SEPT 26, I WENT TO SEE CARLOS AGAIN AND SHOW HIM OTHER SPARK ONLINE IN AUTOMALL THAT CAN BE CHANGED FOR THE ONE THAT I BOUGHT, OR TO GET MY MONEY BACK. HE TOLD ME THAT I NEED TO PAY AT LEAST THE FIRST MONTH, THEN ADD THAT I NEED TO PAY 2 MONTHS BEFORE THEY CONSIDER TO CHANGE THE CAR I BOUGHT.

I HAVE A 2015 CHEVY SPARK THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING IS WITH THE GOODYEAR TIRES. I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY PUT AIR IN THE TIRES AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH. NOW IT'S ONCE A WEEK. I HAD THESE TIRES FIXED FOR LEAKS. THESE ARE THE WORST TIRES EVER. MY LAST CHEVY I OWNED FOR TWENTY YEARS AND BOUGHT TIRES BECAUSE THEY WERE WORN OUT. ONLY TIME AIR WAS PUT IN THEM WAS WHEN THE OIL WAS CHANGED AND TIRES ROTATED THAT IS IF THEY NEEDED IT. THESE TIRES ON MY CAR A GARBAGE. NOW I MIGHT HAVE TO REPLACE THEM BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. THESE TIRES ONLY HAVE 23000 MILES ON THEM. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM? CHEVY OWNERS SHOULDN'T HAVE TO REPLACE THEM THIS SOON. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHEVY BECAUSE OF THESE PROBLEMS. THE OLD CHEVY WERE MADE BETTER. THESE NEW CARS ARE MADE CRAPPY AND CHEAPLY. I LIKE CHEVYS OWNED A FEW OF THEM, NOW I RETHINKING THIS. WHAT IS GOING TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM? THIS PROBLEM STARTED IN 1/2016 TO PRESENT TIME. THANK YOU

WHILE DRIVING NORMALLY, THE "SERVICE STABILITRAC" WARNING APPEARS FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY BY A "SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST" WARNING. THEN THE BRAKE PEDAL REQUIRES EXTREME EFFORT TO SLOW OR STOP THE CAR. THE REGENERATIVE BRAKING IS ALSO DISABLED. AFTER STOPPING THE CAR, THE CAR CAN BE TURNED OFF AND THEN BACK ON WHEREUPON THE BRAKES WILL BE WORKING NORMALLY. THE WARNINGS AND LOSS OF BRAKING ASSIST MAY STAY AWAY FOR A PERIOD OF 1 MINUTE OR UP TO 1 WEEK OR MORE. IT APPEARS TO BE VERY RANDOM. FORTUNATELY, NONE OF THE OCCURRENCES HAVE RESULTED IN A CRASH, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN SCARED DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS PART (THE DEALER BLAMES THE BPMV AND IS NOW PUTTING THE FOURTH ONE ON MY CAR) HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER. THE SECOND ONE WAS APPARENTLY LEAKING WHEN INSTALLED. THIS WORK WAS PERFORMED AT MOMENTUM CHEVROLET IN SAN JOSE, CA. THE PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION, TYPICALLY AT 20-50 MPH, AS THAT IS WHAT MOST OF MY DRIVING CONSISTS OF. THERE IS A FORUM THREAD ON THIS SUBJECT AT CHEVY SPARK EV FORUM. OTHER DRIVERS HAVE DESCRIBED MULTIPLE EVENTS IDENTICAL TO MINE. [XXX] PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).*CC

THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, STABILITY LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP IT IS HAVING RANDOM MISFIRES. THE DEALERSHIP IS WANTING ME TO PAY AROUND $350 TO HAVE THE CARBON CLEANED OUT BUT THEY CAN'T GUARANTEE THAT WILL FIX IT. THEY SAID MY WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER IT. THEN I ASKED IF I GO THAT ROUTE AND IT DOESN'T FIX IT, WHAT THE NEXT STEP IS. THEY SAID TO TAKE THE ENGINE OUT AND CLEAN IT BY HAND, ROUGHLY $1000, AND THE WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER THAT EITHER. I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH THEIR RESPONSE AND AFTER READING PAGES AND PAGES OF THE SAME ISSUE IN FORUMS AND NO ONE MENTIONING THEY HAD TO GO THROUGH THESE STEPS HAS LEAD ME TO BELIEVE IT IS ONLY PUTTING A BANDAID ON THE ISSUE. I DIDN'T BUY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY JUST TO HAVE TO DOLE OUT HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS.

COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE WITH MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER DRIVING. SHE NEEDED TO SWERVE INTO A CURVE TO SLOW DOWN BEFORE APPROACHING BUSY INTERSECTION. WE KNOW OF AT LEAST 4 OTHER IDENTICAL ISSUES WITH BRAKE FAILURE AT OUR DEALERSHIP ALONE WITH ONE OWNER HAVING BRAKE FAILURE 3 SEPARATE TIMES ON THE SAME 2015 CHEVY SPARK. THEY REPLACED HER 2015 WITH A 2016 AND HAD THE SAME BRAKE FAILURE IN HER NEW CAR. *TR

THERE WAS A "SERVICE STABILTRAC" WARNING FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY BY A "SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST" WARNING MESSAGE. IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS THERE WAS A TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE WHILE IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY (APPROX. 50-60 MPH).

NHTSA ODI 10945276

TWO WARNINGS FLASHED: "SERVICE STABILITRAC" FOLLOWED BY "SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST." IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS THERE WAS A COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE WHILE IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET. LUCKILY WE WERE ON A SLIGHT INCLINE AND THERE WASN'T MUCH TRAFFIC SO WE WERE ABLE TO SAFELY NAVIGATE THE CAR INTO A PARKING LOT AND STOP BY HITTING A CURB. OTHERWISE, I DON'T WANT TO SPECULATE ON WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED.

NHTSA ODI 10945277

THERE WAS A "SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST" WARNING THAT FLASHED AND IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS THERE WAS A BRAKE FAILURE WHILE IN MOTION. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND WE WERE UNABLE TO STOP ON A CITY STREET.

THE BLACK PLASTIC TRIM ON THE DOORS APPEARS TO BE "MELTING" OFF THE CAR. THE TRIM FROM THE TOP OF THE DOOR IS ACTUALLY DROOPING IN A MELTING APPEARANCE. CONTACTED MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE SEEN THIS WITH ALMOST EVERY SPARK THAT COMES IN FOR SERVICE; HOWEVER IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THE CAR IS PARKED IN A GARAGE AND IS NOT EXPOSED TO EXTREME HEAT, ONLY NORMAL WEATHER CONDITIONS DURING THE DAY.

12 TRIPS TO DEALERSHIP, 70 DAYS IN SHOP, 5 DEALERSHIPS, 3 STATES. THE CAR CANNOT ACCELERATE TO SAFE SPEEDS FROM A COMPLETE STOP. OUR RAMPS ARE METERED AND THE CAR JUST WON'T GO, HAVE TO HAVE THE CAR SHIMMY BEFORE IT WILL GO AND THE FOOT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. GM STATES THAT THIS IS NORMAL. IT'S WORSE WHEN THE AC OR HEATER WAS ON, GM RECOMMENDATION IS TO NOT DRIVE WITH AC OR HEATER ON AS IT MAKES THE CAR SEEM LIKE IT'S UNDER A HEAVY LOAD. ALSO SMELL EMITS FROM VENT THAT IS MAKING PEOPLE SICK. TOOK TO FIRE STATION AS THE SYMPTOMS PRESENT LIKE CARBON MONOXIDE. DEALERSHIPS HAVE CONFIRMED IT'S SOME SORT OF CHEMICAL BUT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS. DOESN'T MATTER IF CAR IS BEING DRIVEN OR RUNNING WHILE SITTING STILL. FIRE DEPARTMENT SAID NO CO SO NOW LOOKING AT HAVING IT TESTED AT A AIR QUALITY LAB.

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON STREET, GOING STRAIGHT, WHEN STEERING LOCKED UP AND CAR COULD NOT BE CONTROLLED. THIS RESULTED IN CAR GOING OFF IN A DITCH. SPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 35MPH. RIGHT FRONT WHEEL LOCKED IN POSITION, AND NO CONTROL WAS POSSIBLE. THIS WAS APPROX. ONE-EIGHTH OF A MILE FROM HOME. CAR WAS BACKED OUT OF DITCH, AND VERY CAREFULLY AND SLOWLY DRIVEN HOME. FROM THERE IT WAS TOWED TO SAPAUGH CHEVROLET IN HERCULANEUM, MISSOURI. INSPECTION RESULTS HAVE BEEN INCONCLUSIVE. REPORTED TO GENERAL MOTORS. WE ARE NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE.

I WAS HEADING EAST ON I40 TOWARDS RALEIGH NC DRIVING THE SPEED LIMIT WHEN THE HOOD OF THE CAR CAME UP AND HIT THE WINDSHIELD. AT FIRST I DIDNT REALIZE WHAT IT WAS. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND THATS WHEN I SAW THAT IT WAS THE HOOD OF THE CAR. I SHUT THE HOOD AND CHECKED TO SEE IF IT WAS LATCHED. IT STAYED LATCHED SO I CONTINUED HOME. THERE WERE SMALL PIECES OF GLASS EVERYWHERE. IT HAPPENED ABOUT AN HOUR INTO MY DRIVE.

I WAS DRIVING A CHEVY SPARK 2015 TO MY LOCAL SUPERMARKET, LESS THAN 3 OR SO MILES FROM MY HOME. I WAS SEVERAL MILES UNDER THE 40 MPH SPEED LIMIT. I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE OF A TWO LANE ROAD. I COULD SEE STOPPED TRAFFIC QUITE A WAYS AHEAD OF ME ' ALSO IN THE RIGHT LANE. THERE WERE AT LEAST 6-7 CARS IN FRONT OF ME AND A TRUCK IN FRONT OF THE CARS. I COULD SEE THE CARS/TRUCK WERE STOPPED FOR THE STOPLIGHT BUT THEY WERE QUITE A WAYS AHEAD OF ME. THERE WAS NO ONE IN THE LEFT LANE SO I DECIDED TO MAKE A LANE CHANGE AS THERE WAS PLENTY OF ROOM AHEAD OF ME TO DO SO. THE NEXT THING I KNEW I LOST CONTROL OF MY CAR AND IT SEEMED TO ACCELERATE AND SLAMMED HARD INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE POLICE OFFICER CALLED TO THE SCENE SAID I COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MAKING A LANE CHANGE BECAUSE I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I EXPLAINED TO HIM SEVERAL TIMES THAT I WAS DEFINITELY MAKING A LANE CHANGE BUT I COULD NOT EXPLAIN THE ACCIDENT OR HOW I HAD HIT A CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE POLICE OFFICER TOLD ME I MUST HAVE BEEN DISTRACTED. I TOLD THE OFFICER I WAS DEFINITELY NOT DISTRACTED AND WAS VERY AWARE OF MY SURROUNDINGS AND THE OTHER VEHICLES. THE OFFICER AGAIN TOLD ME I COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MAKING A LANE CHANGE SINCE I HIT THE CAR STRAIGHT ON. IT WAS ACTUALLY THE POLICE OFFICERS' ASSERTION THAT I COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MAKING A LANE CHANGE THAT LATER MADE ME LOOK ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT CHEVY SPARKS. I DISCOVERED DRIVER COMPLAINTS ABOUT STEERING WHEEL LOCKUP AND ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. I WASN'T CERTAIN ABOUT ANYTHING AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT EXCEPT THAT IT MADE NO SENSE GIVEN THE FACT THAT I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING A LANE CHANGE JUST BEFORE I HIT THE OTHER CAR. HOWEVER, I AM NOW CONVINCED THE ACCIDENT WAS THE RESULT OF SOMETHING OUTSIDE OF MY CONTROL AND I BELIEVE THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH BOTH THE ACCELERATOR A WELL AS THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKING UP.

I WAS A FRONT-SEAT PASSENGER IN THIS VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS REAR-ENDED. THE DRIVER OF OUR VEHICLE HAD BRAKED BUT WAS STILL MOVING AT APPROX 25-30 MPH; THE CAR THAT HIT US WAS LIKELY GOING 55-60 MPH. THIS ACCIDENT HAPPENED AT APPROX. 4:25 PM ON APRIL 29, 2016 ALONG NORTHBOUND I-5, JUST PAST LACEY, WA. THE SKY AND AIR WERE CLEAR AND THE HIGHWAY SURFACE WAS DRY. THE WA STATE TROOPERS RESPONDED AND CITED THE DRIVER OF THE OTHER VEHICLE; OUR VEHICLE DID NOT HIT ANYTHING, AND OUR DRIVER WAS NOT CITED. I AM NOT AWARE OF THE EXTENT OF DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE THAT HIT US OR TO ITS OCCUPANTS; A POLICE REPORT IS AVAILABLE. BOTH FRONT SEATS IN THIS 2015 CHEV SPARK FAILED OR BROKE UPON IMPACT. THE DRIVER SEAT BACK BROKE, AND CAME UP AND SLAPPED THE DRIVER HARD IN THE BACK. SHE SAID THE WIND WAS KNOCKED OUT OF HER AND SHE COULD NOT BREATHE. SHE HAS A BRUISE ON THE BACK OF HER HEAD WHERE THE HEADREST HIT HER, AND SHE HAS A CONCUSSION. SHE DID NOT IMPACT THE STEERING WHEEL. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. SHE MAINTAINED AN UPRIGHT POSITION AND MAINTAINED CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH HER SEAT HAD FAILED. MY SEAT (FRONT PASSENGER SEAT) BROKE AND SLAMMED FORWARD ON THE RUNNERS. I WAS SLAMMED INTO THE DASHBOARD, BRUISING MY CHEST AND MY LOWER FRONT LEGS, AND ALSO HAVE DEEP BRUISING FROM SEAT BELT IMPACT. THE METAL RUNNERS ON THE SEAT SLAMMED INTO THE BACK OF MY LEGS, LEAVING VERY LARGE AND PAINFUL HEMATOMA ON THE BACKS OF BOTH MY LOWER LEGS. THE SEAT BACK DROPPED AND I FELL BACKWARD.

TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AFTER STARTING CAR WHICH THE WEATHER WASN'T A FACTOR AT ALL, DRY WARM DAY, BUT THE TRANSMISSION GEAR DID NOT. CAR WOULDN'T MOVE. TURNED CAR OFF AND RESTARTED, GOT GEAR NOTIFICATION BACK BUT THE TRANSMISSION WOULDN'T GO IN GEAR. CAR HAS 8,000 MILES ON IT. FINALLY CAR MOVED BUT WOULDN'T GO PAST 10 MPH. ONSTAR STATES 3 DIFFERENT CODES POPPED UP AND TO TAKE CAR IN WITHIN 7 DAYS. HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED BECAUSE THE CAR WOULDN'T GO INTO GEAR AT ALL. CALLED CHEVY CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THEY HAVE HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING AND THE OPEN RECALL IS FOR ROUGH SHIFTING WHICH I HAD AN APT SET UP FOR FEB. 22, 2016 TO GET THE OPEN RECALL FIXED. CAR WAS NOT ABLE TO BE DRIVEN AND WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. NOT FOR WHAT MY CAR IS DOING. AFTER CAR MOVED, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FINALLY CAME ON BUT HAS A DIFFERENT CODE THAN THE PREVIOUS TWO CODES. ONSTAR SAID THAT CODE HAS TO DO WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND EMISSIONS. A NEW CAR SHOULDN'T HAVE THESE KIND OF ISSUES ESPECIALLY 6 MONTHS OF BUYING THE VEHICLE NEW. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING A CHEMICAL CAUSING THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS TO BECAME ILL. THE CONSUMER WAS ADVISED THE ILLNESS COULD BE CAUSED ETHANOL GLYCOL POISONING. *JS

THE CENTER CONSOLE SCREEN (INFOTAINMENT) IS VERY BRIGHT ON ITS LOWEST LIGHT LEVEL SETTING. NO WAY TO TURN OFF THE SCREEN OR DIM IT MORE THE WHERE THE FACTORY SETTING IS. TALKED WITH DEALER, ONSTAR CALL CENTER, AND CUSTOMER ACTIVIST AT CHEVROLET. THEY ALL SAY IT IS A FACTORY SETTING THAT CANNOT BE CHANGED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, BECAUSE AT ITS LOWEST SETTING I CAN NOT SEE IF THERE IS ANY WILDLIFE OF HUMANS ALONG THE EDGE OF THE RURAL ROAD AT NIGHT. IT IS LIKE DRIVING IN A CONDITION EQUIVALENT TO HAVING A CONSTANT ONCOMING HIGH BEAM LIGHT. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR A PROGRAMMING UPDATE TO THE COMPUTER SO THERE IS A VIRTUAL DIMMER SWITCH THAT GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN TO OFF.
