1. Yes, this was definitely one of the problems. However, the 10 times I did get the amber light to come on, the vehicle wouldn't charge. I now have had the car modified so it won't have the physical problem. 2. You asked for facts: Over 1.5 hours I tried 45-50 times to connect the vehicle to a...

I am having a very difficult time getting the dealer to update my software. I have 16.1-95281509 and from the numbers you other 2015 QC cars are receiving (such as 16.25-94511142, 16.26-94511142, 16.31-42354648) I can tell i don't have the latest. I asked them to update it two weeks ago but they...

I hadn't tried that, but every time i have DC fast charged the parking break is set automatically when i'm done.

On one of my trips to the dealer to try to get my text messaging fixed (still not working), I asked them to update the software. When I went to pick up the car they said GM wouldn't let them update the software if there wasn't a problem. I told them that was ridiculous but they said there was...

Thanks for the feedback, Norton. OnStar has "reset" my account several times now - one time that process took out all communications on the vehicle until I could take it in to the dealer. I've tried logging out, logging in, turning notifications off, then on. As an IT guy, I'm highly confident...

I have an update on this: Because I had spent 40-50 hours opening tickets (7 all together), taking my car into the dealer (3 trips, 1 overnight stay) and on the phone with Chevy, OnStar, and the dealer - all while GM knew there was a problem with all Sparks, I wanted to be reimbursed for my...

Solder, but you are notified properly when the vehicle is done charging, but before you disconnect it and start it?

I just heard from the dealer - this is a problem with all Sparks. No Sparks should be able to send messages until the car is turned on. It's a flaw in their system like I told OnStar it probably was when I called the very first time 2 months ago. They said GM is working on a fix. Yeah, right.

It's possible it's both the car AND the phone. I have connected to literally 48 devices all within seconds. So I have a feeling their bluetooth code is missing a 1 or 0 when working with certain devices. I'm taking it back in soon for notification problem - i'll make sure they give it the latest...

Ever since I've picked up the Spark, I've had 2 challenges; notifications and bluetooth. You can click the link to read about the notifications, here are the challenges I have with the bluetooth: * It takes at least 45 seconds to connect - every other car and accessory I've ever connected to...

Sorry to hear that - i'll tell you what the fix was so if you want it to work you can jump right to the solution instead of going through this hell like me. ;-)

thanks, Kevin. It's good to know it's possible! OnStar attempted another account reset while I was at the dealership - now I no longer receive any text or emails - both are set under notifications. I"m going to try to turn all notifications off, save it - then turn them back on again. On the...

Yes, I agree - this relationship between OnStar and GM seems rather dysfunctional. They need counseling. I have OnStar for the length of the lease - so in my case I won't lose that functionality at the end of a trial. But - I'm curious - Does ANYONE get notifications (text or emails) when their...

I have been working on this issue the last 2 months since getting the car. I often am charging in a public place and really could use the help of it texting me when it's done charging. But it only notifies me the charge is complete when I start the car. I have one other friend with the same car...
