There is a current recall on the 2015 Chevy Spark regarding the transmission. The issue involves a known problem with the pulley and belts in the transmission, which can break and lead to complete failure. To check if your Spark is affected by the recall, reach out to your local Chevrolet dealership with the vehicle identification number (VIN). If your car is part of the recall, the dealership will replace your transmission at no charge with an updated version that addresses the problem. Car manufacturers often issue recalls when they discover components failing in their vehicles. This process is common and something all cars may go through at some point.

My 2015 Chevy Spark's transmission broke down last month out of the blue. When I contacted General Motors, they informed me that it was not covered under any recall. The repair costs are estimated at $3500... as a result, my Spark is now just occupying space in my driveway. What's disheartening is that I still owe $3200 on the car.

My 2015 Chevy Spark began to have a jerking motion when I accelerated a few weeks back. Then, it started stalling two days ago. Now I can't drive it properly and I'm not sure how to address the problem. Plus, I still owe $3,500 on the car! Where should I report these problems?

According to an internal service bulletin from Chevrolet, engineers were looking into problems with the transmissions failing early in Spark vehicles made between 2014 and 2018. In February 2020, Chevy sent a letter to owners of 2014 Sparks offering a complimentary 10-year or 120,000-mile warranty for the transmission.

When I first spoke to my dealer, they claimed they were unaware of any problems. I then contacted GM and learned about an issue with the transmission pulley, identified as N192271110 (look it up online). It was noted that this issue only impacted around 12% of Spark models, so it's not widely recognized. I plan to discuss this further with my dealer tomorrow.

Hello everyone! I'm grateful to have come across this conversation. After visiting the GM website, I connected with a representative through text. Although there isn't an official recall, there is a Special Coverage in place for my vehicle. This involves replacing the transmission at no cost to me. The agent mentioned that this offer is still valid. They offered to assist me in finding the nearest GM dealership. Can you share your address with me so I can help you locate the closest dealership? I recommend reaching out to GM to get this taken care of. Thank you!

I have experienced the same transmission problem mentioned here. I plan to contact the dealership about it. I purchased my 2015 Spark in early 2021, and three months later the engine failed. Fortunately, it was covered by the dealership warranty at the time. However, the warranty has now expired, and the car is currently facing significant transmission issues.

A couple of years back, I got my transmission changed, but now it seems like it's acting up again on my 2014 model. I'm not sure what to do about it.

If a transmission was purchased from a shop and replaced without knowledge of the recall, would GM provide a refund for the cost?

Here's a rephrased version: I drove a 2015 Spark with a transmission issue for about six months. Eventually, the transmission failed completely. I brought the car to a Chevrolet dealership, and they repaired it under a transmission recall. However, they informed me that the repair wasn't covered by the recall because it was the transmission fluid switch that failed. Now, they are asking for nearly $1400, which is a significant expense for us. I'm in need of assistance. Can anyone help out?

In 2015, my Spark experienced transmission issues around 60,000 miles and was replaced by GM at no charge. However, the new transmission began malfunctioning around 120,000 miles and wasn't covered under the extended replacement program. It eventually failed, and GM quoted $5,000 for the replacement. After negotiation, they agreed to cover $2,500 of the cost. Now, at 163,000 miles, the transmission is failing again. Despite being a relatively trouble-free car overall, having faced issues with wheel bearings, the AC compressor, expansion tank, and brakes, I'm unsure if investing in a fourth transmission is worth it. I am reaching out to GM for assistance once more.

I own a Chevy Spark that I purchased three years ago from a Barbados company. Unfortunately, I am currently having transmission problems with it. I don't have the money to get it repaired, and my husband and I worked hard to save up to buy this car in 2017.

Contact your General Motors dealer. If your vehicle is under 10 years old and has less than 120,000 miles, have the transmission inspected. General Motors has expanded its warranty and will replace the transmission for free if it meets the conditions. I was worried about the cost of a new transmission until I found out about the extended warranty. Thankfully, mine was replaced at no cost.

I reached out to GM to ask for a new transmission for my 2015 Chevy Spark because the current one is faulty. Their response was that there was a special coverage for this issue from 05/21/2015 to 05/21/2025 or 193,000km, whichever happens first. However, my car has exceeded the limit at 197,614 km, so any diagnosis and repairs would be my responsibility to cover.

I found a valuable post on March 30th while looking into the transmission problems my wife was having with her 2015 Chevy Spark. The information I found here, while not all completely accurate, gave me all the details I needed to get the car fixed. It's important to note that the transmission issue isn't part of a recall, but rather a special coverage known as N192271110 Transmission Pulley Damage for certain 2014-2015 Chevy Sparks. Armed with the advice from this post, I contacted GM and scheduled a repair with a local dealership. After a six-week wait, the car was fixed at no cost under the special coverage. The usual cost would have been over $3,600. While I'm relieved we didn't have to pay, I was disappointed with the dealership's service. To other Spark owners facing similar problems, I recommend reaching out to GM headquarters promptly for a free replacement.

My car's transmission has been giving me trouble recently. To address the issue, I looked into any recalls and came across some information. I had a conversation with a Chevrolet (GM) representative online regarding my 2015 Spark. They informed me that it falls under the Special coverage N192271110 for Transmission Pulley Damage until 09/27/2025 or 120,019 miles. I am relieved to have found this information and plan to visit an authorized Chevrolet dealer on Monday.

I got a new transmission put in my 2015 Chevy Spark in 2017. A recall came in 2020, but the dealership claimed my transmission was already repaired, so it wasn't necessary for my car. Despite that, my transmission has been acting up occasionally. Fast forward to 2022, we're hesitant to drive it anywhere because the issue has worsened. It's a major concern for us, especially considering the high cost of getting another transmission, not to mention the long wait we had the first time around. It's unfortunate that these transmissions are so unreliable.
