| 2013 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE KEPT ACCELERATING AND SLOWING DOWN. BY WATCHING THE TACHOMETER, I COULD SEE THE RPMS GO UP AND DOWN CONTINUOUSLY, AND FEEL THE VEHICLE SURGING FORWARD AND SLOWING AGAIN. THE VEHICLE ALSO DID THIS WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 60 MPH. WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET AND COASTING, YOU CAN FEEL THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING UP AND DOWN, AND THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY ACCELERATE ON IT'S OWN, MAKING THIS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION SINCE IF YOU ARE NOT ALERT, YOU MAY BE DRIVEN INTO THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF YOU. *TR |
| 2013 | INTERIOR LIGHTING | TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET SPARK. THE CONTACT STATED THE DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHTS WERE ABNORMALLY BRIGHT. IN ADDITION, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS WERE CONSTANTLY ILLUMINATED AND THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED OR POWERED OFF. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THAT THE LIGHTING SYSTEM WAS PERFORMING AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 1,000. ..UPDATED 02/01/13 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE DOES WORK AS DESIGNED, IT IS POORLY DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE'S HEADLIGHTS ARE AT A BRIGHT ENOUGH LEVEL FOR ONE TO ASSUME THAT ALL LIGHTS ARE ON. ALSO, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL'S LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS LIT WHICH AIDES IN THE ASSUMPTION THAT THE VEHICLE HAS AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS. UPDATED 2/7/2013 *JS |
