2014 CHEVROLET SPARK Structurebody Problems

GM has failed to remedy this recall in a timely manner.

Chevrolet issued a recall for my car August 25, 2022 and still has not provided a remedy. It has been eight months since the recall was issued.

On or about May 31, 2021 the car alarm began to randomly go off on the vehicle. I took the car to the local dealership on July 20, 2021 and was advised that "hood latch ajar signal showing hood open randomly" was causing alarm to go off. On Aug 21, the part arrived and the hood latch was replaced. Immediately upon leaving the dealership, the radio went blank.

I WOULD LIKE TO COMPLAIN THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE RECAL NUMBER 2014456 (2014 CHEVY SPARK EV) SECONDARY HOOD LATCH CORROSION WHERE THE LATCH CAN RUST AND BREAK AND HOOD CAN OPEN WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE TRIED TO SCHEDULE WITH MY DEALER IN CONROE TX SEVERAL TIMES NO ONE EVER CALLS BACK. WHEN I CALL TO FOLLOW UP THEY DONT CALL BACK. I HAVE SAME ISSUE WITH CHEVY VOLT RECAUL. TWO RECALLS ON VOLT CAR, THE FIRST TIME I TOOK VOLT DEALER DID NOT FIX IT AND NEVER FOLLOWED UP EVEN THOUGH THEY TOLD ME THEY FIXED IT. GM LIKES TO SEND ALL THESE NOTIFICATION BUT THEY NEVER FIX THE ISSUES ON THE RECALL.
