NHTSA Complaint #10837369 — 2015 CHEVROLET SPARK

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
