My Spark's alarm kept going off. They replaced a module, bob mccosh dealer. They also said my radio was bad and had to be replaced. 615$. I said "just disconnect the radio, I don't need it". Problem solved. . . I thought. When they did disconnected it, I noticed that I lost my "chime". . . For seat belt, keys left in ignition and lights left on. They reprogrammed the car to the new module, and the radio was working, and chimes were present. Next day, my battery is dead, because of the radio drained it. I am taking it to the dealer again, after I get a jump. The only option is, to disconnect the radio they said. After researching, according to the federal motor vehicle safety standard: these (2) failed. * 208 (occupant crash protection) * 114 (theft protection) NHTSA id # : 16v422000 #: 16v257000 gm recall(s) : #45340 # 17130 I thank you for your review! it's important to me, and I'm sure Chevrolet, that these safety features cannot be ignored! I am praying that after your reviewing, you are able to provide a recall for the radio software on my 2013 chevy Spark! I bought the car last year, and it's getting very expensive to keep it running safely. Thank you.

My radio dash and audio indicators blackout without warning this weekend when I turned my car on. No blinker sound, no radio, no keys in ignition warning. Nothing. It's the same characteristics of the 2016 recall that was issued but gm will not fix it because my VIN does not appear on the recall list.

While driving the radio will turn off and also turn off seatbelt chime and onstar will disable and key chime will not work.
While driving on the turnpike radio went blank then no chimes for the turn signals then the chimes for the seat belts didnt ding then took notice that the cell charger wasnt working either. Just got the car less then ayear ago. Also 2 flat tires within the last 2 months plus now the car bucks off and on while driving.
I took my chevy Spark to the chevy dealership for the safety recall to the radio. Dealer completed recall and the next day my radio having issues. The buttons on the radio were not responding to touch. The dealer stated they didn't see any issues. Approx 1 month later, I took my car back to dealer and they stated that it was a hardware issue. The manager at dealer stated that they dont have any tests to determine what hardware issue the radio was having but stated it wasnt related to safety recall. The manager also advised that gm would not pay for a new radio and that I would be responsible to replace it. I used a 3rd party extended warranty to pay for repairs and filed complaint with gm risk management. The manager for the customer service team spoke with local dealer and stated that the dealer confirmed that it was a hardware issue and not related to recall. Both gm and local dealer unable to provide me with any documents supporting their conclusion. Gm also stated that recall was not a saftey recall and that recall was done for simple software issues. Dealer also advised that they used a foreign object (usb) to complete software update. No issues with radio before recall work. Gm wont reimburse me for $100 deductible that was paid directly by me. Extended warranty paid for remainder of radio replacement. Gm stated they wont reimburse because car is past bumper to bumper warranty.
