    Hello - New Member - Purchased our '14 Spark EV last May

    Glad you're happy with the car. Many, having bought these cars used for < 10K, we are certainly getting out money's worth out of them and a little fun to boot.

    Door Unlocks then Immediately Locks Automatically

    My car does this in the cold/rainy season here in WA state. It only really becomes a bugger when you've left your keys on the seat while exiting, locking the door by pushing the lock button, and closing the door. The car sensing that the keys are inside, will honk and unlock but then due to...

    Check engine light P1E00

    Anyone have definitive info on this? This code (P1E00) is showing up on my 2015 LT2 with ~47K on it. I replaced the 12V battery recently (< 12 months ago) with what I think is a compatible model just a few months ago so I am hoping that it is not a 12V battery issue. From reading above, what...

    Funky key fob activity (2016)

    Having the same problem here. I haven't been keeping good timing records but the problem seems to go away in drier months... Anyway, thanks for the write up. When it starts happening, it's very consistent at least. And it quite a pain if you have others whom are riding with you.

    New owner thoughts

    Another Puget Sound area owner here. You nailed the major issues and a few that I hadn't considered. My biggest complaint was the sound system. I know not to expect great sound from a car that is on the low low side of economy cars, but :roll: . Got some new front and rears based on another...

    Does anybody know what this part is?

    Second vote on the parking brake cable. If it can be safely done, try activating the brake while holding the cable to see if you can feel it working.

    Drivers Information Display Failure or IPC INOP

    As far as I know, it's the original battery. I'm surprised but encouraged that this hasn't happened to anyone else. I suppose that is good news.

    Drivers Information Display Failure or IPC INOP

    Has this happened to anyone else? The Drivers display in my 2015 Spark EV quit last week. It's not the dimmer, is not the light setting, nothing seem to be able to bring it back. The car was working just fine however, there was no feedback for the turn signals, no speed display and no way to...

    Headlight design - What is that third eye for?

    Has anyone shed some light on (see what I did there?) on what the lower eye or lens is for on the the Spark EV headlight? I've never seen it on. Before becoming an owner, I thought that it might be the DRL.. ( I was displease to find out the mains are used for DRL) but anyway, what's is the...

    List of bulb types?

    I imagine that you've found a list by now. There are a number of them on commercial bulb vendor sites and on the Spark forums elsewhere: https://chevysparkforum.com/topic/553-bulb-replacement-guide-types-what-works-what-doesnt/

    Brake Lamp Replacements

    I've just replaced the rear brake lights with the Sylvania LEDs but I could not get the reverse light bulbs out of the sockets without feeling like I would damage them. They seemingly don't just 'twist and pull' like the brake lights did. I thought I saw a discussion about this, but this seems...

I stopped by a dealership to ask about recalls a couple of days after picking up the car and was told that all recall service has been completed however, I also logged on and created an account on mychevrolet.com and/or on the Chevy my link app where...

    Battery Degradation vs Battery Limited Warranty

    New owner here as of last week. Didn’t lurk these forums prior to owning and I’m concerned like others here. My 2015 Spark EV is charging to 62mi of range though it only has ~22,000 on the clock. It is cold here is Seattle, reaching down into the 30s overnight. Using what I’ve read on the...
