2015 Chevrolet Spark: jerking or lurching

Filed Oct 16, 2026 · Transmission · WV

This vehicle was serviced 3 different times. The first being a complete new transmission (so they said) being put in. A few days later same thing like it was running in limp mode. 2 nd trip back to a GM dealership(Same one) set for weeks. Called said it was fixed. Said the battery was dead. Charged me for a new battery. Same thing git home started jerking very unsafe. Cleared GM Corporate. They said they would contact the dealership for another assessment. This time they charged me for a Mass Sir Flow repair. Started home. Same exact thing. Called GM today and they said take it back. I said not there. They said for me to tow it to another dealership on my dime. At this point I called the WV State Attorney General’s office. They have no returned my call yet. Please help. This recall was initiated by the NTBS. I’ve been treated very unfair. It’s not like we haven’t tried. The last GM agent said the new transmission would have a 10 year silent warranty on it. Please help me. I have done everything properly. The car has literally set fire to years now as it’s unsafe to drive. Even had to use rental cars for transportation. The dealership would not give us a car to drive while being repaired. Thanjs very much for the help we need as a honest buyer.

Ever since I bought the vehicle in 2021, I have had problems with the car jerking and air conditioning problems, mostly during the colder months. I took the car in multiple times on different occasions throughout the years. They would "fix" the problems with the transmission, then a month or two down the line the issues would come back. This last time, the car started stalling on the and turned off completely. The air conditioner never worked because of the transmission as well.

Transmission is failing and slipping very bad. Car will jerk when shifting in and out of 2nd gear. Car will jerk back and forth when brakes are applied. When coasting at or around 20-25mph (right around when car shifts into second gear normally,) car will jerk back and forth repeatedly. Chevy/GMC is still refusing to honor an extended coverage to fix their mistakes. This is going to lead to an accident and needs to be recalled.

My car has been squealing and lurching at speeds over 30mph for about a week and today the transmission lost power on the highway.
