2015 Chevrolet SPARK - UNKNOWN OR OTHER Failure Complaint (#b17e71)

2015 Chevrolet SPARK

  • Date of Incident: Dec-23, 2024
  • Date complaint filed: Dec-24, 2024
  • Failed components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Unknown—my car’s been doing this thing where it feels like the wheels "stick" for a second every so often while driving, but yesterday it was the worst it's been, doing it every few seconds. I thought maybe my gearshift was stuck between gears or something so i tried to make sure it was in drive, but it slipped into neutral for a second, & after that, my check engine light came on & my car started taking forever to get up to speed after coming to a stop—like, i was flooring it & it was crawling. It started doing this while i was in an intersection turn lane, & my car was moving so slow i had to wait for a protected turn & i still barely made it out of the intersection in time. My code reader said it was a transmission issue & there’s a recall on other sparks for the transmission. I had my car towed to my apartment but i haven’t been able to find anybody to come inspect or work on it yet. I sent a message to my local chevy dealer so they could check whether it’s under recall, but i haven’t heard back from them yet. Prior to this, there hadn’t been any warning light or indicators.
