At railway parking lot, first car blocked when backing out of space. After 3 tries, able to move on, exiting lot and about to turn right into street, car swerved hard right by itself and loudly hit curb. Passenger side wheel and tire totally damaged. I had to get it towed to collision shop. It is still at the shop where am told repair at minimum will cost over $ 1400. 00! I found 2 recalls emails that same night and trul y believe the car malfunctioned. Am just thankful no one was involved but me. Could have been dramatic if car was on the road and malfunction made me hit another vehicle instead of a curb. Have had to rent a car, and cost is mounting. Found thru online research that other Spark owners had same problem. This could cause fatal accident. Even when fixed, I will be petrified to drive this car again with fear of recurrence of same problem.
I was advised to replace my tires 8/2017. Since my brand new tires have been installed, they lose air. Every single day my low air pressure indicator light is on. . I see this appears to be a common problem. What is the solution. . ?.
I have a 2015 chevy Spark the problem I am having is with the goodyear tires. I have to constantly put air in the tires at least once a month. Now it's once a week. I had these tires fixed for leaks. These are the worst tires ever. My last chevy I owned for twenty years and bought tires because they were worn out. Only time air was put in them was when the oil was changed and tires rotated that is if they needed it. These tires on my car a garbage. Now I might have to replace them because of this problem. These tires only have 23000 miles on them. What are you going to do about this problem? chevy owners shouldn't have to replace them this soon. I will never buy another chevy because of these problems. The old chevy were made better. These new cars are made crappy and cheaply. I like chevys owned a few of them, now I rethinking this. What is going to be done about this problem? this problem started in 1/2016 to present time. Thank you.
Not even 10,000 miles in I had a tire gets a bubble on the sidewall. The dealership would not cover it or swap it out saying it could have been due to hitting a pothole or curb. 15,000 miles in driving down the highway and hear a loud bang and the ac doesn't work. I take it in and the dealership says I could have hit road debris and would not cover any work on the ac, I would have to pay out of pocket. About a week later I get a letter in the mail about the ac recall and find out my compressor exploded on the inside due to faulty parts. 20,000 miles in and the car was eating a quart of oil every 2-3 days and still draining it and ran rough. The dealership said they have no idea what it is and they would not help in what they called "looking for problems that can't be reproduced". Then not even a month later I get a letter about the recall and how I need to bring it in as quick as I can because some people 'may' be experiencing excess oil consumption, due to faulty parts. 40,000 miles in I'm getting the tcs light on with the cel flashing at me and the car stutters and looses power all while on the highway. Gives the code of p0324 (knock control system error). Dealership says it could be due to being driven rough and it is my fault. I shouldn't be driving 80 in a chevy Spark (the highway speeds in texas). The engine has a loud lifter tick in the heads. Dealership refuses to open them without a fault code that indicates a head issue. 47,000 miles in I have more misfires and error codes. Taking it back to the dealership to see what their excuse is this time.
Driving at a low speed, on a local street, on a clear day; I heard a hissing sound. I knew I had to pull over because the car was driving lumpy so I knew I had a flat. When I pulled over to the side of the road I was shocked to see the extent of the damage, the side of my tire was completely blown out. I have always checked my tires to make sure the tire pressure is just right, and have them rotated. On star also alerts me when and if the pressure go low. My tires were still in good condition. I have no idea how this damage occurred. It looked as if someone took a giant can opener and opened my tire.
