“Car sputters and hesitates. Feels like transmission or fuel problem. Had transmission replaced once already. From what I'm hearing transmissions in this car have an issue. Seems like it should be replaced by manufacturer not me. This has been happening for months. It was seeming to come and go now it just all the time.”
NHTSA complaint #11376154, filed 2020-11, 65,000 miles“Takata recall. My '14 Spark has gotten the coolant tank replaced twice. Also my rpms are shooting up and back down once I hit 50mph or faster . Also makes a high pitched noise when this happens . It's causing my car to jerk at faster speeds, also my car jerks at point of acceleration from 0mph when I'm making turns. Also the battery is continually being drained and it's not worn out .”
NHTSA complaint #11230832, filed 2019-07, 83,400 miles“The jug that holds my antifreeze developed a hole right where the hose connects to it and antifreeze was dripping onto a belt. My car would make a screeching sound and hesitate while I was driving. I replaced the belt but then other stuff started going wrong. The engine revs up while I am driving and the car will hesitate each time this happens, it usually happens several times in a few seconds then drives fine for a short while. No pattern, just happens randomly. This has been going on for a couple of months. On 08/07/1019 I was driving 320 miles to copperas cove, tx from lubbock,tx . …”
NHTSA complaint #11252518, filed 2019-08, 54,000 miles“From may 2015 to sept. 2015, my vehicle high-revved and died on the highway three times... The same three lights would come on: traction control, check engine, reduced engine power. Due to the timing of incidents, autonation refused to accept the vehicle although it was warrantied. I called GM corporate and explained that this was a danger to the safety of others and jeopardized my life, and they made attempts to remedy the situation at hand.. Autonation called and apologized for the lack of customer service, but they did not schedule an appointment to find the problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #10825214, filed 2016-02, 21,036 miles“Since the day I have bought this car 2 1/2 years ago it will die, even while driving at 50 MPH. Recently it hasn't been starting every time. Chevy says the battery is bad. Had the battery checked at 8 other places, they all said battery was fine. He had tested the battery right after I tried to start it for two hours. When you pull the negative cable off the battery, there is still 2 amps bring drawn off the battery. With nothing on, no dime light, no radio, no air. And I've told them forever that my seatbelt warning signs don't work properly. But they can't seem to reproduce any problems.”
