2015 CHEVROLET SPARK Structurebody Problems

Ever since I bought the vehicle in 2021, I have had problems with the car jerking and air conditioning problems, mostly during the colder months. I took the car in multiple times on different occasions throughout the years. They would "fix" the problems with the transmission, then a month or two down the line the issues would come back. This last time, the car started stalling on the and turned off completely. The air conditioner never worked because of the transmission as well.

There was a recall issued for my daughter’s Chevy Spark back in August 2022. The dealer said there is still no fix available. This seems like a long time to me.

THE BLACK PLASTIC TRIM ON THE DOORS APPEARS TO BE "MELTING" OFF THE CAR. THE TRIM FROM THE TOP OF THE DOOR IS ACTUALLY DROOPING IN A MELTING APPEARANCE. CONTACTED MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE SEEN THIS WITH ALMOST EVERY SPARK THAT COMES IN FOR SERVICE; HOWEVER IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THE CAR IS PARKED IN A GARAGE AND IS NOT EXPOSED TO EXTREME HEAT, ONLY NORMAL WEATHER CONDITIONS DURING THE DAY.

I WAS HEADING EAST ON I40 TOWARDS RALEIGH NC DRIVING THE SPEED LIMIT WHEN THE HOOD OF THE CAR CAME UP AND HIT THE WINDSHIELD. AT FIRST I DIDNT REALIZE WHAT IT WAS. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND THATS WHEN I SAW THAT IT WAS THE HOOD OF THE CAR. I SHUT THE HOOD AND CHECKED TO SEE IF IT WAS LATCHED. IT STAYED LATCHED SO I CONTINUED HOME. THERE WERE SMALL PIECES OF GLASS EVERYWHERE. IT HAPPENED ABOUT AN HOUR INTO MY DRIVE.
