Hey guys, Just picked up a little 5 speed 1.0 spark as a second car. Everything has been great so far but I’ve just realised after using it in the dark that if you take the key out with the lights still on, the engine stays running. It will turn off as soon as you turn the lights off but this can’t be right surely? I’m thinking it’s either an electrical issue that someone may have come across before or it’s a feature so the battery doesn’t die if the lights are left on? Would really appreciate if someone could shed some lights on the issue.

So our 2012 Spark just hit 100k and it's going to crap. First problem started last month, front passenger door lock stopped working (just makes growling sound when triggered by key fob, gearshift, or buttons). Second problem 2 weeks ago, air conditioning system stopped working (makes squeeling noise, pushes air, but not cooling). Today, the radio doesn't want to work. We live in central Texas and after a brutally hot summer, we have had an extremely rainy early fall (rain every day for several weeks). I'm ready to push it off a bridge! Any thoughts? Everything related?

I bought a used 2013 Spark (w/ automatic transmission) about a month ago - it has high mileage (83k) but I had it inspected before I purchased - my mechanic said everything, including engine and transmission, were in great shape except the tires, which I had replaced a few weeks ago. However, in the last 3 weeks, the car has stalled 3 times. Twice it happened while taking a sharp right turn, slightly uphill, at a slow speed, while in my parking garage at work (after driving only about 2 miles from home). The third time it happened when my boyfriend was driving the car — we had jus
