    2016 Spark - Can't trade lease, need advice

    You can just turn it in early and pay the rest of the months left off (i.e. if you owe 12 more payments at $100/mo, you would just pay $1,200 + lease termination fees (if they apply)). I did this with my 2015 Spark EV at the 30 month mark so I didn't risk having to pay back any of my CA rebate...

    Returning leased Spark EV without LRR tires

    Well I went ahead and replaced all four with correct sizes of Kumhi Ecsta 4X II as mine were pretty worn out and it goes back next month so I wanted to have fresh rubber for my final time. I had bought them over a year ago when tire rack had a crazy sale going on for them so I wanted to try...

    Are low rolling resistance tires required when returning a leased Spark EV? Does anyone have any experience with this?

    Software Version Tracking

    Just had my 2015 Spark EV updated to "SW part number: 16.40-42475606" today to resolve issue with Onstar/Bluetooth Mic/Compass taking a dive. There was also a service campaign involving another software update to address "incorrect range estimate" which I didn't have any awareness of any...

    Code P1F0B: The Battery is not performing as expected

    I don't have any voltage testing equipment so nothing was tested on my end. All I know is it refused to take charge, OnStar quoted multiple errors so I brought it into the dealer. The dealer advised me yesterday they had opened up a case with GM Engineering. As of today, they have identified...

    Code P1F0B: The Battery is not performing as expected

    Interesting timing on seeing this post. Mine just went in to the dealer with the following codes (per Onstar) which have something to do with failure of the LiIon Battery apparently: P1EFB P0D26 P0D22 The original symptom was failure to be able to charge, then check engine light but no other...

    Is anyone else experiencing brake issues [failure]?

    I was hesitant to reply but back in November 2015 I experienced brake failure after a side impact collision. I was t boned, hit the brakes but nothing happened and I ended up continuing on to hit the curb after the impact despite fully depressing the brake pedal...the issue was investigated and...

    7500 mile service/recall fix experience

    I had a good laugh when I took mine in for its first service a few weeks ago when they said I was due for an oil change. I told them it's an electric vehicle to which the advisor said he knew that, but even electric cars had a generator in them to keep the battery charged. It was pretty clear...

    Original Carpeted Floor Mats

    Tried to purchase new carpeted mats from dealer parts department today and they said it's not something they can order. My front mats are pretty much shot and I didn't want an aftermarket solution. Anyone had luck with ordering these before?

    Jack points and tire rotation

    Just had mine rotated for free as well as part of first service. Of course the advisor also told me they will be changing the oil in the generator as well...think that might be my last time at that dealer if they don't know their own cars.

    CA HOV sticker placement photos

    To play devils advocate, if you have a bumper resprayed in an accident they may need to blend into the adjacent panels anyhow which wouldnt work with the stickers placed there. The only reason I mention it is I recently had my Spark in for some body work following an accident and they had to...

    HID Option?

    Please do! I am curious about the kit you picked up. Thanks!

    Anyone else impressed by the handling?

    I am also surprised at the overwhelmingly positive review people have of the handling. I personally find it to be ok until you try to push it to about 25-30% of its potential and then it's a mess. The tires are obviously not helping any as exhibited the first time I tried to emergency brake...

    Apple CarPlay

    Announced yesterday (I believe): http://www.engadget.com/2015/05/27/chevrolet-apple-carplay-android-auto/ Would love to know if this is something 2014/2015 Spark EV owners will be able to add retroactively to our 7" systems...
