Known issues on the 2009 Spectra5. As the hatchback member of the Spectra family, this car's federal history is filed under the Spectra name.

From running down a fault another owner has already reported to keeping the 2.0L DOHC four on its scheduled maintenance, it holds you to the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2009 Spectra5.
