1 Air Conditioner problem of the 2015 Chevrolet Sonic

Failure Date: 08/30/2019

My chevy Sonic stalls while driving it. The engine shuts down, door locks cycle, lights go on and off, power steering and brakes go out, rpms drop, and until today, it turns back on, the rpms jump sky high, and the motor revs back to life and it goes fine again for awhile. But today it stalled sitting in mcdonalds parking lot and not only didn't start again, but had to be jumped. I can only imagine what would have happened if my granddaughter and I had her in heavy traffic when that happened! every other time it's been going down the road. One time I was in traffic and it almost caused an accident. It happens almost every day. Especially if I'm running the air conditioner. It happens at all speeds. I have taken it to 3 mechanics and it doesn't �throw any codes�. It did show a little issue with the alternator so we replaced it but it didn't charge anything. I've done some research and this is a common issue with several years of chevy Sonic cars. Unfortunately our outcry is going nowhere. Gm seems determined to ignore us until someone dies and they get sued. Can you please get them to recall the engine or whatever it is that's causing this issue? please?!!! thank you!.

6 Air Conditioner problem of the 2016 Chevrolet Sonic

Failure Date: 04/23/2017

While traveling south on interstate 95 in the right lane in the area of mile marker 7 in south carolina a piece of foreign debus was ran over by the car in from of me. The large piece of metal bounced of the road and hit the front bumper grill and air conditioning condenser ( 24 inch piece of metal it appeared to be something that would hold a semi track spare tire in place) the car I was behind didn't stop to ensure my safety however they did brake and continue on their journey. I pulled off as soon as I could get in a safe place and I have attached the images of the damage and the estimate to get the repairs done. My deductible is $1000. 00. Please feel free to call or email for further information.

8 Air Conditioner problem of the 2013 Chevrolet Sonic

Failure Date: 10/07/2014

While driving home, the vehicle started to smoke. The windows were rolled down, the air conditioner was off and it is about 86 degrees outside. This isn't the first quirky incident to happen in this vehicle. I just bought it about 7 months ago. All the standard maintenance has been done to this vehicle. Not sure why it is smoking. After it being in our care for 4 months, the check engine light will also not go off, and the remote start doesn't work anymore. The driver side door has become loose as well. No one has been hanging on it, just simply opening and closing the door. Also the plastic cap on the shift has popped off. I will be getting it checked tomorrow and possibly getting rid of it sooner than later. This is a very poor gm model car.

9 Air Conditioner problem of the 2013 Chevrolet Sonic

Failure Date: 06/18/2013

The air conditioner makes a horrible squealing noise. It does this like clockwork every 30 seconds while running the ac on 2 or above. It is so loud even with the radio on you heaer it going down the road. It started right after I hit 2000 miles on the car and about a month after buying it. It condinues to do it a year later and I have taken it to the dealer 8 times, the say it is normal.
