I agreed with your theory about proximity for minute, then thought back to all my other cars. Theory doesn’t hold up, unfortunately. We currently have a Nissan Rogue that’s PTS that we got 8 months before my Spark. No fob batteries changed. My Ford Focus Electric was PTS. Not just PTS, I...

I’ve had this car for, what, almost 3 years? I’ve had to replace batteries in both of my fobs at least twice, and one of them 3 times. In NO other car that I’ve had for many more years have I replaced batteries more than once. 🤔

So, I was finally able to get the car to the dealer, and their diagnosis is bad batteries in BOTH of my remotes. That diagnosis cost me almost $50. I haven’t been able to get new batteries again yet, so I don’t have an actual resolution. I find it odd that so many of us have the same problem and...

I haven’t laid hands on the car when it happens, no. But right now it’s an every day thing, so I can check in the morning.

I don’t know the answer to your question, but here’s some info: You can absolutely find a cheaper route with an official key. 3) if you’re plugged into DC, you can tell the car to stop charging. I’m not sure why one would do that. 4) that’s your remote start. Press the lock button and then...

Nope, didn’t try another set of batteries. Given that they’re pretty cheap, I’ll give that a whirl. I do know they’re not installed upside down. That’s pretty much the first thing I check on anything powered by removable batteries.

I know what’s happening. The phone paired to the car, and is sending all sound to the car. But if you don’t have the source for your entertainment set to Bluetooth, you won’t hear the sound. Try that, let me know.

💯 I have this all the time. I believe it’s due to my enclosed garage getting heated up and then it’s hot and the fan stays on to cool it down but there’s no way to cool it down, so it keeps pulling juice and running the fan and being hot and it’s a vicious cycle. That’s what I think. I’ve had my...

I’ve got a 2015 that I’m using both original fobs. Had been getting intermittent notifications of key not found, so I bought new batteries and replaced each fob’s battery a few weeks ago. One of them kept working for sure, but we don’t use both remotes very often. So I don’t know when the other...

I had the check engine light flash on December 26 last year. I had the day off and the car was 6 months old and under warranty (bought a new 2015 in July 2017 for a song) so I just went right to the dealer. They were able to see that the check engine light was told to turn on, but not WHY it was...

I don’t mind saying, now that I bought it. I didn’t want to say before just in case somebody else saw it and bought it out from under me: $15,087 + TTL, and shipping to Dallas. Yeah I know. It was a STEAL. So, $7500 federal rebate (my wife does our taxes and says we will get all of it)...

PM sent. I did get that 2015 brand new Spark. It was in Maryland and I had it shipped to me.

Yes I would. And do. Rules that don't make sense are stupid. I encourage my daughter - and everyone - to think about things. Why do this? Why say that? What would happen if I...? Accept that actions have consequences and be ready to answer for your actions. As to my sensitive ears - yeah, I've...

I did pull the fuse on mine, and have had no warning lights. But I need to research what software update fixes the C/F issue. I took my car to a dealer last week but he said there's one recall listed for my car that doesn't seem to have anything to do with the fan running all the time or the...

:lol: No, haven't heard that before! Must be just this picture.
