My spark's alarm kept going off. They replaced a module, bob mccosh dealer. They also said my radio was bad and had to be replaced. 615$. I said "just disconnect the radio, i don't need it". Problem solved... I thought. When they did disconnected it, i noticed that i lost my "chime"... For seat belt, keys left in ignition and lights left on. They reprogrammed the car to the new module, and the radio was working, and chimes were present. Next day, my battery is dead, because of the radio drained it. I am taking it to the dealer again, after i get a jump. The only option is, to disconnect the radio they said. After researching, according to the federal motor vehicle safety standard: these (2) failed. * 208 (occupant crash protection) * 114 (theft protection) nhtsa id # : 16v422000 #: 16v257000 gm recall(s) : #45340 # 17130 i thank you for your review! It's important to me, and i'm sure chevrolet, that these safety features cannot be ignored! I am praying that after your reviewing, you are able to provide a recall for the radio software on my 2013 chevy spark! I bought the car last year, and it's getting very expensive to keep it running safely. Thank you
