I was driving my 2012 Chevrolet Sonic commuting my grandchild to pre-k,pulling out from stop sign onto straightaway street crossing in front of distant oncoming traffic,and my car stalled,very scary as could have been very bad wreck with my grandchild being hurt as myself! fortunately I let coast to side of street as I was only going 10 miles or less an hour when it shut off! it wouldn't start right off! it finally started after a few seconds,maybe 5 or more went by! this is very disturbing as it risks my life ,plus another also,as he is only 4 years old! I need to know if car is even safe to keep driving!.
As I was driving down a intersection my car was going 50 miles an hour, then it just shut off. It's a 5 speed and it shut off and then started back up. The car was in 5 th gear at the time it was very scary im glad there was no one directly behind me. I've had problems with this car since day 1 there is other problems with it. But the dealers say its normal. They dont know why it did this. But this car is unsafe and to me its a lemon. I'm tired of feeling like a idiot this car has issues.
