Model Overview
The Chevrolet Spark is the American brand's city car. Its $10,000 starting price makes it a great first vehicle for younger shoppers, who will also appreciate the Spark's thrifty fuel economy and standard smartphone integration technology. Chevrolet offers the Spark with modern conveniences, but the base model is as straightforward as cars come today.

A cheap enjoyable car
November 23, 2017
Overall Score
Let it be known there were better driving small cars but none were even in the price stratosphere of this one.
Since owning this car I've enjoyed great fuel economy in the city, I have a pretty simple drive it's fairly straight line. I hover 3.5 - 4 L/100KM it's primarily a city car.
Highway economy hovered 6 - 7.5 L/100KM, so not as good. Could have been wind.
Upgraded the speakers which made a world of difference. Comfort is acceptable in the vehicle, truly I quite enjoy it.
Parking is a breeze

Manufacturer Recall Number:
A222359300
Units Affected:
6,275
Notification Type:
Safety Mfr
Issue:
Over time, corrosion could cause the secondary hood latch to stick in the open position. If this happens and the primary hood latch doesn't engage or is released, the hood can open suddenly while driving.
Note: This recall replaces 14456 (Transport Canada recall 2014-422). Vehicles repaired under that recall also require this repair.
Safety Risk:
A hood that opens suddenly while driving can block the driver's view and increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
General Motors will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the hood striker assembly and hood latch assembly.

Notification Type:
Compliance Mfr
Certain vehicles may fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 208 - Occupant Protection in Frontal Impacts. During testing using unbelted, out-of-position 3-year-old and 6-year-old test dummies in the front passenger seating position, the dummies were subjected to axial neck force greater than permitted by the standard. Although it is unsafe and unadvisable for a child occupant to ride unsecured in the front passenger seat, a child in that position at the time of a crash necessitating air bag deployment may be subject to an increased risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the passenger frontal airbag module with a low-risk deployment air bag module that has an added folded-in flap.

Certain vehicles equipped with a "Bring Your Own Media" (BYOM) radio may fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 114 - Theft Protection and Rollaway Protection and CMVSS 208 - Occupant Protection in Frontal Impacts. The radio software may fail to provide an audible warning/reminder chime that meets the requirements of the standard when the key is left in the ignition and the driver door is opened, or when the driver fails to fasten their seatbelt. This can sometimes occur when the driver turns the ignition off with the headlamp or hazard warning flashers on and then restarts the vehicle while the radio is going through the “sleep” sequence. The loss of an audible warning when a key is left in the ignition may increase the risk of vehicle theft, and may fail to alert the driver that he or she is unbelted, increasing the risk of injury to the driver in a crash. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the radio with corrected operating software. Note: This recall involves vehicles that were previously repaired under recall 2016-191 that now require re-inspection and repair.

Certain vehicles equipped with a "Bring Your Own Media" (BYOM) radio may fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 114 - Theft Protection and Rollaway Protection. The radio software may fail to provide an audible warning/reminder chime that meets the requirements of the standard if the ignition key is left in the off position and the driver delays opening the driver’s door for more than 10 minutes, or opens and closes the door several times. The loss of an audible warning when a key is left in the ignition may increase the risk of vehicle theft. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the radio with corrected operating software.

Notification Type:
Compliance Mfr
Certain vehicles may fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 114 - Theft Protection and Rollaway Protection, and CMVSS 208 - Occupant Crash Protection. The radio may become inoperative, causing a no-chime condition and disabling the audible warning if the key is in the ignition and the driver’s door is opened, or if a front outboard seat belt is not buckled. A loss of the seat belt audible warning may increase the likelihood of a front outboard occupant being unbelted, increasing the risk of injury in a crash. Similarly, the loss of an audible warning when a key is left in the ignition may increase the risk of vehicle theft. Correction: Dealers are to program the radio with updated software.

On certain vehicles, the secondary hood latch may prematurely corrode and stick in the open position. If this were to occur while the primary latch is not engaged, the hood could open unexpectedly while the vehicle is being driven. This could compromise the driver’s ability to see the road and its users, as well as cause damage to the windshield. These issues could result in a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the striker with a new part which has superior corrosion protection.

On certain vehicles, bolts securing the front lower control arm ball joint to the steering knuckle may not have been tightened to specification and could loosen. This could result in the lower control arm separating from the steering knuckle while driving, resulting in a loss of steering control and increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect bolts and tighten to specification as necessary.

On certain vehicles, welds on the passenger airbag end caps could separate from the airbag inflator. If this occurs, the airbag may not deploy properly. Failure of the passenger airbag to fully deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the passenger airbag assembly.
