Chevrolet Spark owners have reported a total of 761 problems for their cars built in the 10 model years listed in the chart below. The chart shows the number of problems reported across all service years for each given model year of the Chevrolet Spark. The 2014 Chevrolet Spark cars have the most problems reported (267 problems).
| Model Year | Number of Problems |
|---|---|
| 2022 Spark | |
| 2021 Spark | |
| 2020 Spark | |
| 2019 Spark | |
| 2018 Spark | |
| 2017 Spark | |
| 2016 Spark | |

The following chart shows the 23 most common problems for Chevrolet Spark cars. The number one most common problem is related to the vehicle's engine and engine cooling (140 problems). The second most common problem is related to the vehicle's power train (121 problems).
It would not be fair to compare the Chevrolet Spark of an older model year to newer model years since older vehicles have been in service longer and thus are expected to have more problems. In order to compare the reliability across Spark model years, we use the PPMY index which is defined as the problems reported per thousand vehicles per Year. A smaller PPMY index indicates greater reliability of the given model year cars.
PPMY = P / S / Y * 1000,
where P = total problems reported during the life of a Chevrolet Spark model year; S = total units sold of the model year; Y = years since the debut of the model year (the age of the vehicle).
The results are shown in Table 3.
Another way to measure the reliability across the model years of the Chevrolet Spark is to use the total number of problems reported during the vehicle's first year in service, as shown in the Table 4.
