Common Problems with the 2019 Chevrolet Spark
Transmission Issues:
“Transmission doesn't know what it wants to do. There's times that I'll turn a corner, the car continually bucks and jerks without my foot changing position on the accelerator. Jerking is hard enough that it puts my head into the headrest several times. There's also times that I'll hit the accelerator and the car will make a bunch of noise like it wants to go, but it won't move. I have to then hit the accelerator even harder, and you can feel the car jerk and finally start to move like it's supposed to do.”
“Transmission whines when started and at low speeds, and is obnoxiously loud! Also has a loud whine at around 30mph, you can hear it with the windows up or down.”
Electrical Problems:
“The alarm goes off for no reason when parked and no one around.”
Engine Problems:
“Got the car in January of 2019. Under 18,000 miles and I was driving on the highway saw smoke and took it to Chevrolet they said the brakes needed to be repaired with boosters and other parts”
Steering Problems:
“Complained to dealership of a rattling/tapping sound coming from driver's side corner of the dashboard. Thought maybe it was the front strut, but found that it was play in the steering column and the power steering motor. The dealership had my car exactly 4 weeks to fix this issue, most of the time was spent waiting for parts”
Air Bags Failures:
“Collision to the front of car. It bent the frame but airbags still did not deploy.”
“Airbag code (95) the car just got out of the shop from a faulty transmission and a warped piston(#3) I had it back for two weeks and now the airbag code comes on. I drove about five minutes and then park the car down to one the code came on. I cleared it shut the car off them started it came back”
“I had an accident on 3/5/2020 in my 2019 Chevy Spark and the airbags did not deploy. Fortunately I did not suffer serious injury: Badly bruised forearm and elbow from hitting the steering wheel, whiplash and muscle aches on my total right side of body and back. I understand there is a recall for this problem and I have not been notified to come in for service as of today.”
Brakes Problems:
“I bought this car a few ago with zero miles and brand new. 4 months after I bought the car I started to experience problems with the brakes. Very loud noise when I brake and it feels as if the car is not going to stop. I have taken the car 3 times to the dealer and after I drive it for 2 to 3 months, the problem starts again. I only driven this car 15000 miles so as you can see is not like I drive it a lot. I am very concerned for my safety and the dealer doesn't seem to care about my safety. My partner who happens to be a us retired marine doesn't even want to get in the car of fear of having a deadly accident. I ask for your help please. The dealer is: Bomin automotive cc llc- homestead 1075 SE 6 ave, homestead, fl 33034 phone # 786-298-2688 I have spoken to many including sales manager [xxx]. my name is [xxx] and my cell number is [xxx] I am attaching the last service where it says that they kept the car for almost a week because they could not find the problem. I ask that if they can not find the problem, I am given a new car or my money back. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).”
