To follow up on my previous posts about our 2015 Spark EV that died last July, we have been working with Capital Chevrolet in San Jose to get a new replacement Bolt EV. The car that we ordered (Ice Blue 2023 2LT) is now on the train headed to California, and the last reported position was...

Our Spark is a 2015. The concierge people won't talk numbers of any kind. They say that is all up to the repurchase team.

When the CEC was telling us that we would be getting a 2019 Bolt, it was a straight swap. Now there will be a mileage deduction for the 57K on my Spark.

An idea to enhance your spreadsheet.... Normalize the pie chart. If you make the pie chart total equal to the maximum of all the options, (by adding a row with $$ saved compared to the maximum) then each of the wedges will represent a proportionate number of dollars. And the $$ saved row will...

I have had my Spark since September 2015 and I can vouch for your spreadsheet and its validity. It has been by far the best cost/mile of anything that is out there now or even in recent memory. Sounds like you might want to wait for them to stop pushing the Bolt battery packs out the door so...

The CEC (Customer Engagement Center) is the Chevrolet organization charged with keeping customers from bothering anybody in the company who can actually do something. That is your concierge. Don't you just love that term? They are headquartered in Warren, Michigan and handle all of the customer...

We are in the same boat. Our 2015 Spark EV died in July. Range dropped to 3 miles. Car refused to move or charge on any charger. Had it towed to Chevy of Watsonville on July-11. A couple days later they called and said that the battery was the problem and that we should contact the CA CEC. At...

Yes, I know this is an old thread, but not an insignificant one. My story occurred a few years ago and was covered completely under warranty, with loaner cars provided at no charge by the dealer. I think they were going through a learning curve at the time. Hopefully they are better now. But I...

I got my Spark back from the dealer on Thursday. It took the dealer 31 days to fix it. They first determined that the BPMV was at fault. That was out of stock locally and it took about two weeks to get it. When they test drove the car after replacing it, the same problem recurred. (ESC failure...

And don't get me wrong based on the above CaB comment, I LOVE driving my Spark EV, as I am sure we all do. I just want them to do it right. But we do have to realize that given the following: 1. Spark EV was one of the lowest volume cars ever produced by GM 2. It is out of production now 3...

To Illinois, Ouch. That $$$ after warranty is gone must hurt. My BtB has 4K miles or 6 months left. Has everyone here seen the Grand Tour video of Richard Hammond crashing the electric supercar? So when you have this problem and your car is out of warranty, and you are near a cliff, open the...

To CCIE, This is certainly not a hydraulic failure that I have been seeing here. This is very likely some combination of electrical and software issue. The brakes are fine. The computer in the module (or one that controls the module like in TRON) has decided that the system controlling the...

Let's get this one going again. My Spark is now in the shop for the second time with the same problem as emailjillianne has painfully described. This has happened with multiple drivers, there are no additional electronics short of a USB memory stick for music and a cigarette adapter to USB...

Has anyone contacted White Automotive? They apparently do custom programming on Spark EV as well as other GM cars. With my 40 mile one-way commute, I need to charge at both ends many days. I have my 120V charger hooked up at work on a 20A circuit (boss is not going to go for a 240V circuit) and...

The Spark EV has just an ordinary trailing arm rear suspension with a twist link connecting the arms. The arms are located by a large pivot at the front of each arm. Twist link provides extra support laterally for the trailing arms and contributes the anti-roll stiffness that we all want. Some...

Full agreement on making the tire upgrade first. At 600 miles on the odo, I put a set of 195 BFG Comp-2 (they don't make a 185) on the factory wheels. Huge difference. I now have 1200 miles on the new tires. I have put these tires on a few other cars and have always liked them. Since I drive...
