June 21st I bought a 2014 chevy Spark and only used to get to work & back. Then on the 23rd I was sitting in traffic waiting to move. I pushed down on the gas peddle & was jolted forward & back. I thought this was normal since I never had this type of transmission (cvt). Then I noticed that I really had to give it gas to get going up a hill & after stopping at a red light. The next day it happened again so I called the dealer the next day & they said to bring it in. After they took the car for a test ride & ran a diagnostics on it they said that there was something wrong with the transmission. Tried to up date the software & they had no luck. Then they called gm & told them what they found. Came back to tell me that I needed a new transmission. Have been waiting for the transmission & in the mean time I found out after calling gm that in may of this year there was a recall for a knocking noise of the engine & acceleration problem. Also, checked to see is any other recalls were for my car. Found out in south korea the Spark was recalled due to a defective transmission mount, with gearbox mount that may destabilize and cause a drop in transmission power. Gave the dealership this information that I found. Still waiting to get my car back & not sure I want to keep it. The dealership will not buy back my car & said that they can give me another Spark if this one not fixed. To top it off I 'm paying my car insurance for a car I don't have.
