Consumer Description
HAVE A 2013 CHEVY SPARK. IT HAS ALREADY HAD AN ENGINE REPLACED AT JUST OVER 20,000 MILES AND CONTINUES TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS AS BEFORE THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED. IT CONTINUOUSLY GOES BACK AND FORTH TO THE DEALER, YET "NO ISSUES OR CODES" ARE EVER FOUND. TO ME THIS CAR IS A POTENTIAL DEATH TRAP EVERY TIME IT'S DRIVEN. IT CONTINUOUSLY SHOWS THE ENGINE LIGHT...BLINKING AWAY...ALONG WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL THAT FREQUENTLY IS ON WITH IT. IT THEN REVS EXTREMELY HIGH AND YOU CAN'T GO OVER 20 MILES AN HOUR BECAUSE OF FEAR THE CAR WILL EXPLODE. IT ALSO SHAKES DURING ALL OF THIS. THESE ARE ALL THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT THE CAR HAS HAD SINCE BEFORE THE FIRST ENGINE DECIDED TO JUST BLOW...ON A HIGHWAY...JUST OVER 20,000 MILES. PLEASE ALSO NOTE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE RECALLS, FOR THIS CAR AS WELL. CUTE CAR...BUT IT ENDS THERE. IT'S A DEATH TRAP ON WHEELS!! THERE SHOULD BE A MAJOR RECALL AND CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ON THESE CARS!
