What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet spark. The contact stated that there was a strong odor of chemicals emitting from the vehicle. As a result, the contac would become sick and have headaches. The contact also stated that the air condition would not work properly and failed to emit cold air. In addition, the power steering failed. The failure recurred on multiple occasions.
After 38000 miles and 38 months (on a 3 year, 36000 mile warranty), the battery and alternator on my 2014 chevy spark were both bad and needed to be replaced. Upon searching at 2 different parts stores, the 2nd store advised there was not a part in any warehouse nationwide. This leads me to believe that there is a factory defect causing the alternator to fail, and then the battery.
