EndOfThis

The sticker inside my 2013 Spark says 40PSI, the stock tires themselves say 50PSI. I made the mistake of trusting the dealership to have given me the car at 40PSI. Not wanting to let any of the nitrogen out I hadn't checked my tire pressure until the warning light came on recently. All tires were around 30 PSI! The warning light was telling me that all of my tires were too low on pressure, sure beats having a slow leak mind you and perhaps now I know why I have been getting bunk milage. I bumped them all up to 40. Where do you like to keep your tire pressure at??

So I just got back from the dealership. According to them it is exaclty what "NoSprak" said. The ABS self test. This is extremely annoying and they say that there is nothing that can be done about it. :-( Aside from "ValorHeart" and myself is there anyone else on this forum that can hear a noise occur at 20Km/H? Please listen for it after startup to let me know. If I had noticed this during the test drive I wouldn't have bought this vehicle. I am dissappointed to say that I am a unhappy spark owner :-(

No luck so far in figuring this out. Made an appointment with the local dealership for tomorrow after work. I will keep y'all posted!

Hey guys I just got a video together. It includes two seperate occasions of the noise happening. It can be heard at 0:18 & 0:24 Here is the link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pQAKjsjdgM

I have done a few test since my last post. First I thought it might have had to do with the steering wheel coming back to center, turns out that was just coincidence. I have reproduced the sound 3 times since yesterday, making sure there is no traffic behind me and going below 20Km/H till the steering comes back to center. Then I slowly climb to 20Km/H. I have noticed that the car will shift into the next gear before the sound and then as soon as I hit 20Km/H I hear it. Once again this only happens after startup and not anytime after when I go below 20Km/H. To describe this noise a littl

The noise is quite odd. Trying to describe it, sounds to me like a creaking sort of clunk. What I have been able to pinpoint is that it only happens once (so far) right after start up and usually once I hit around 20Km/H. Almost always after a cold start in the morning. Only happens after start up and not at every startup. After I get out of the parking lot in the morning and get onto the street, once the steering wheel comes back to center seems to be when it will happen but that is also when I am around 20Km/H. When I hear it happen, it seems to be coming from under the car or more tow

Hey everyone. New 2013 Spark LS AUTO. Have owned for 3 weeks now. For the past two weeks I have been experiencing a strange noise that only happens once after I start the car and drive out of the parking lot. Car makes one solid noise and it sounds like it is coming from under the car. I have no idea what it could be and as you can imagine am frustrated as a brand new car shouldn't be stressing me out. I figured I would post here first before having to contact a dealer. Any and all help is welcome, thank you.

Thank you Greg_E. I have gotten use to how this works now.

Hello everyone :-) New owner 2013 Spark LS AUTO Trans On the display, the option for the current L/100km consumption. I am wondering, when first taking off after a red light or a stop sign is it normal for the display to show anywhere from 15-30 or so L/100km? I find this is always the case until I gear up and am going 50-60km/h then it calms down to 5-8L/100km. I realize that the car is doing a lot more revvin but wasn't sure if this was normal?
