I had the MIL light, traction light, loss of power, number four spark plug bad and number two piston burned out. It was ugly. You have made me feel better! I hope this new engine works because I love my spark!
I currently am in a rental car and my dealership has ordered a new engine for my spark. I experienced the full gammut of symptoms that everyone has listed here including being stranded on the highway.
Here is my question: are the new engines different? If you got the engine replaced, when was it and how has it been performing? To the Chevy employees here: is the engine different or am I simply delaying my woes?
I loved my spark. I bragged about my spark. Now I am ready to cry.
