  1. Turns out it was just a bad/worn out battery. A new battery resolved it.
  2. My 2015 Spark LT1 Manual has started having a strange issue which happens randomly when starting up. First, it has been relatively slow to crank on occasion, like the battery may be low, but the engine always starts on the first attempt after the starter turns over twice, it just turns over slower than normal. But sometimes when this happens, 3 things occur simultaneously when the engine starts: the hazard flashers come on, the front windshield wipers cycle 3 times, and the traction control “off” signal lights up on the instrument panel. Has anyone experienced this or know what could be causin
  3. For my 2015 Spark 1LT Manual, I need to remove one of the rear wheels to extract a screw and plug the tire. I have a floor jack and two jack stands. I am nervous about using only the floor jack to hold up one side of the car while removing the wheel and fixing the tire, and would prefer to use the jack stands to support the car, but am unsure about the proper (and safest) way to do this. I found the jack point (notch in the pinch weld) under the door just in front of the rear wheel. I positioned the floor jack in the notch (front wheels chocked) and started to raise it, but the whole car want
  4. I had the same problem with my 2015 Spark and took it to the dealer. They charged me $221.19 to install 2 updates and “recalibrate”. :-/

  8. This exact same issue just started happening last week in my 2015 Spark 1LT Manual. Steering wheel controls for radio stopped working, temperature missing from display and “service rear vision system” displays on screen when in reverse. It has been several months since it was last at the dealer for regular service.

I sure hope I can find some way to fix it without having to pay $300. That is ridiculous.
  10. Awesome! Yeah, I think that's a much simpler way to go. I can probably find a USB power cable for the Garmin (to replace its regular 12v power cord), and then I'll have 3 extra USB ports. Thanks!!
  11. Have you installed any additional USB ports for charging devices in your Spark? I have a 2015 Spark 1LT manual and have been thinking about putting in a couple dash-mounted USB ports. I found a few aftermarket backlit USB ports available online; obviously the install would require some dash/panel modification and running wire either to a spare fuse block or directly to the battery. Was thinking they could be mounted on either side of the factory USB/aux ports on the little panel below the A/C controls. My GPS occupies the 12v lighter outlet, and my wife likes to plug her iPhone into the factor
  12. I just had the MyLink recall work done on my 2015 Spark 1LT Manual last week while it was at the dealer for regular maintenance, and I've noticed the same issue- Bluetooth won't connect to phone automatically, but it connects when I do it manually in the connection settings. However, it could be that the "auto connect" isn't working because it has the same profile for my phone that was stored in the radio since before it was in the shop. The software update for the recall may have had some impact on the Bluetooth functionality. It might help to delete all phones from the radio and go back thro
