I've had several issues with the car. The main one being that my engine has warped and the car is junk now as I can't afford the 5400 to replace it. The coolant kept leaking and after water pump and thermostat repairs did nothing it finally broke down. The shop says the engine is so badly warped they can't even identify where the original problem may have been.
I recently purchased a 2014 chevy Sonic with 70,000 miles. Shortly after receiving the vehicle, it began dropping coolant while stationary overnight after being driven during the day. The dealer replaced the water pump. After the repair, it started to leak again. This time, the dealer's repair shop could not find the source of a leak, despite my showing evidence of a leak (photos and collected coolant). Several internet postings from different sources indicated possible problems caused by dexcool coolant specified by general motors. My own mechanic recommended replacing this coolant because of problems with the cooling system.
