2014 Chevrolet Spark

WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM STOPPED POSITION CAR WILL HESITATE AND STALL OUT. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND HAD 1400 MISFIRE CODES IN HISTORY. HAS BEEN BACK TO DEALERSHIP 5 MORE TIMES AND CANNOT DUPLICATE CONCERN. NOW WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY CAR HAS LOST ACCELERATION AND STALLED OUT A TOTAL 4 TIMES IN 85 MILES. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME. I'VE BEEN LUCKY SO FAR TO AVOID BEING HIT BUT I SHOULDN'T BE PLAYING RUSSIAN ROULETTE WHEN I'M DRIVING A VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 30K MILES ON IT. I'VE HAD THE CAR SINCE 12/2016 AND IT'S BEEN A COMPLETE NIGHTMARE. GM NEEDS TO RECALL ALL THESE CARS BEFORE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THEM IS FILED. I'M PAYING FOR A CAR THAT I AM SCARED TO DEATH LITERALLY, TO DIE!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SPARK. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH AND SLOWING DOWN, THE VEHICLE STALLED. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR AND TCM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

TOOK SAID VEHICLE TO ROSNER CHEVROLET IN MELBOURNE, FL. CONCERN WAS THAT TRANSMISSION SLIPS AT ENTERING ONTO BUSY HIGHWAYS, FAILING TO GAIN NECESSARY ACCERLATION IN MERGING WITH NORMAL TRAFFIC FLOW. THIS REPRESENT A SERIOUS FLAW IN THIS VEHICLE THAT COULD LEAD TO A SERIOUS CRASH WITH FATAL LOSS OF LIFE. THE TECHNICIANS AS ROSNER CHEVROLET TESTED SAID VEHICLE AND THEY CONCURRED AS WRITTEN ON INVOICE CVCS177737 ROAD TESTED VEHICLE AND VERIFIED CUSTOMER CONCERN. CONTACTED TAC CASE # 8-2745507764 THEY SAID TO TEST VEHICLE WHILE GRAPHING THROTTLE POSITION, OUTPUT SPEED AND PRIMARY AND SECONDARY PULLEY SPEEDS. DATA INDICATES NO ISSUE. SNAPSHOT TO GM AND THEY VERIFIED CONCERN TO BE NORMAL, CONDITION CAUSED BY LOW SPEED TORQUE CONVERTERIN IN HIGH GEAR/RANGE WHEN LIGHT THROTTLE IS APPLIED, NO REPAIRS ATTEMPTED.{END} ALTHOUGH THE TECHNICIAN NOTICED THE FAULT WHEN ROAD TESTING VEHICLE THERE WAS NO ACTION TO BE TAKEN AS PER GM. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I WOULD HOPE THERE COULD BE SOME ACTION BY GM TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BEFORE A FATALITY HAPPENS, THIS VEHICLE TRANSMISSION DID NOT SLIP WHEN NEW BUT HAVE BEEN GETTING WORSE AS TIME GO BY. SOLUTION IS NOT KNOWN AT THIS TIME FROM CUSTOMER POINT OF VIEW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SPARK. WHILE RELEASING THE CLUTCH FROM A STOP POSITION ON WET PAVEMENT, THE VEHICLE SHOOK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A WORN OUT CLUTCH THAT NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE CLUTCH WAS REPLACED, BUT THE ISSUE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,500.

THE TRANSIMISSION SLIPS. THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED IN AUGUST 2016. THE NEW TRANSMISSION IS NOW SLIPPING AS WELL. WHEN YOU START THE VEHICLE AND ATTEMPT TO DRIVE IT DOES NOT GO. THE ENGINE REVS FOR A FEW SECONDS BEFORE THE CAR MOVES FORWARD. THIS CONDITION ALSO HAPPENS WHEN BACKING UP, STOPPING AND THEN ATTEMPTING TO GO FORWARD. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PULL OUT OR BACK OUT INTO TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE WILL JUST SIT THERE AND NO GO. I HAVE TAKEN TH VEHICLE TO MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE CONTACTED GM. CUSTOMER SERVICE AT GM HAS INFORMED ME THAT, ACCORDING TO THEIR TECHNICIANS, THIS IS NORMAL OPERATION FOR THE TRANSMISSION. I'VE ALSO HAD THIS CONDITION HAPPEN AFTER SLOWING DOWN FOR A SHARP CURVE, THE VEHICLE WILL REV AND CONTINUE TO DECELERATE RATHER THAN ACCELERATE OUT OF THE CORNER UNTIL THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGES. THIS VEHICLES OPERATION IS UNSAFE, YET NORMAL BY GM TECHNICIANS STANDARDS BECAUSE THERE IS NO ERROR CODE ON THE COMPUTER.

I AM ON MY 3RD TRANSMISSION IN 2 YEARS. THE CAR HESITATES WHEN PULLING OUT FROM A STOP. AT TIMES THE HESITATION IS SO GREAT THAT THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE AT ALL, DESPITE THE GAS PEDAL BEING PRESSED TO THE FLOOR. THE MOST RECENT EPISODE WAS TOTAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE. BUT THE TRANSMISSION HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE I GOT THE CAR AND THE DEALER HAS TRIED TO "FIX" IT REPEATEDLY, WITH NO SUCCESS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SPARK. WITHIN SIX MONTHS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE, THE INDEPENDENT DEALER DID NOT MENTION THAT THERE HAD BEEN THREE RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR THREE MANUFACTURER RECALLS. PRIOR TO THE REPAIRS, THERE WERE NO FAILURES. AFTER THE REPAIRS, THERE WAS AN ANTIFREEZE LEAK, AN OIL LEAK, AND THE GEARS WERE SLOW TO CHANGE OVER. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE DIAGNOSED TO DETERMINE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT REPORTED TO THE MANUFACTURER THAT FAILURES PROGRESSED AFTER THE DEALER SUPPOSEDLY COMPLETED THREE RECALL REPAIRS. THE CONTACT WAS WAITING FOR THE MANUFACTURER TO PROVIDE A PERMANENT REPAIR SOLUTION TO THE DEALER. THE CONTACT HAD BEEN WAITING FOR LONGER THAN TWO WEEKS FOR A SOLUTION FROM THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

2014 CHEVY SPARK WITH JUST OVER 4 K MILES WITH SEVERE ACCELERATION PROBLEMS FROM A STOP. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE FIRST TIME AND WAS TOLD THAT THE COMPUTER HAD TO LEARN MY DRIVING STYLE THIS WAS WITH ABOUT 2K MILES DRIVEN. THEN ON JUNE 11, 2015 I TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER AGAIN WITH THE SAME COMPLIANT THIS TIME THEY DID A DRIVING TEST AND SCAN THE CVT WAS FOUND TO BE STICKING IN HIGH GEAR AND WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO LOW GEAR. A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS ORDERED AND IT TOOK ABOUT 8 DAYS TO ARRIVE. THEY INSTALLED THE NEW CVT AND WHEN THE TECHNICIAN TRIED TO BACK MY CAR OUT FOR A TEST DRIVE IT WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE ANOTHER BAD TRANSMISSION. SO ANOTHER NEW CVT TRANSMISSION WAS ORDERED AND INSTALLED SO FAR THIS ONE IS WORKING, TOTAL TIME FOR THIS REPAIR WAS FROM JUNE 11, 2015 TO JULY 3, 2015.
