NHTSA Complaint #11257780 — 2014 CHEVROLET SPARK

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AND WENT OFF AFTER ONE DAY. IT CAME ON AGAIN 3 DAYS LATER WHILE DRIVING, AND AT ONE POINT I WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP. A MECHANIC HAS DIAGNOSED THE ERROR CODE AS P0871 AND ALERTED ME TO GM BULLETIN PIP5521 WHICH STATES MY ENTIRE TRANSMISSION MUST BE REPLACED, DESPITE THE CAR ONLY HAVING 56,000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY GM WHICH PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD AND THIS CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED. MY CAR IS SLIGHTLY OUT OF WARRANTY AND I'M ATTEMPTING TO GET GM TO FIX IT UNDER A GOOD WILL WARRANTY.
