Well, let's see...the 2013 Spark. Cute car, but it ends there. Bought for daughter brand new. It has really never functioned right. Needed a new engine at just a little over 13,000 miles. Daughter was driving, and engine block blew apart. Since then, just issue after issue.
This current one has been ongoing now, for some time. No codes are pulled at all, yet like many complain about this car/year, you push the gas to go, and it just doesn't go above 20-30 mph. When you do even push it to go more, it sounds as if it's about to explode. This doesn't happen EVERY time you drive it, but it happens without notice and is highly dangerous. If you go to pull out from a parking lot, exit, light, etc...and it decides to do it, then you run the risk of getting rear ended. Can't tell you how many times we've gotten honked at and given some "nice" hand signals by other drivers.
My main concern is the safety of my daughter. When you take it to Chevy, they tell you there's no codes pull, and of course you get the "it doesn't do that when we drive it". Took it to local mechanic that specializes in Chevys. They said it was crankshaft sensor, however that was replaced since, and problem continues. This is clearly a transmission issue, and seems that Chevy is well aware of it. It should be a recall, but isn't. These cars are faulty... at the least, this year of Spark anyway.
