Battery Dead Problems of Chevrolet Sonic

We have 11000 miles on the car so we've not experience many of the mechanical problems many have, but ours is none less dangerous. The radio started coming on and off by itself. You cut it off when you get out of car, the radio comes back on . Turn it off and it comes back on and overnight the battery goes dead. Stumbled on the dead battery issue after I replaced the battery and the same thing happened again. Once again, the last mechanic died at the local chevy place. They said they have one solution,replace the radio. They have no bulletons from the factory on it so just undo the audio fuse to save the battery, so we did and it did save the battery but no sounds in the car now. At all. With just 11,000 miles we've not yet experienced the horror stories about the motor and transmissions but have noticed, even with low mileage, I need to add some oil. Gm can't and has no desire to fix chevy problems. I think this has added tremendously to people stop buying their sedans and small trucks. It's not there service department fault. It's a faulty designs and engineering. I've had 4 unfixable major engineering problems in the past 20 years with their vehicles and this is the last chevy I'll ever buy. They need to blame their sales problems all on their product designs. It's not a dealer or service department issue. It's the design and engineering of these dang cars they build. Some times it's a dog in your own kennel that bites you. It's a engineer in their own kennel that is not the sharpest pencil in the box they're hiring to design systems and engineering their systems. They have idling problems with their colorado trucks and sticking this 4 cyclinder 2. 7 cu. In motor in their big trucks, which already has cooling systems design problems, borders on lunacy. I'm done with chevy.

My vehicle has been a nightmare. In January I visited the dealership because my heater was not working. At that time I was told I would need to replace my battery soon that it had some leaking acid. Three weeks later I replace the battery. At that time the dealership installed a new battery and sent me on my way. Ive spent thousands since then repairing what the dealership described as a electrical nightmare. I also have told the dealership several times that there are transmission problems with my vehicle. I insisted they drive with me and although the transmission issues have been acknowledged, the dealership has been busy repairing the electrical damage of the battery, the have never touched my transmission. I still have transmission problems. My car hesitates and doesn't accelerate causing me to almost wreck several times. I also have had several ignition problems with my vehicle. One occasion my vehicle would not turn off. The key was in the off position but the car remained running for several hours until the battery was dead. Anther occasion I was pumping gas and the vehicle was turned off. My two young children were in the vehicle and the car started cranking itself. It attempted to start three different times. My car stalls at red lights and will decelerate in the middle of heave traffic. I am frightened to drive my vehicle and fear for me and my childrens safety. I have contacted gm several times and have had my car in for repair numerous times. My salesperson advised me to file a lemon law report and my mechanic described my vehicle as an electrical nightmare. No gm rep can explain why my vehicles battery would have caused this much damage being my car was less than 2 years old. Please help.

First issue was electrical issues (bad lights, unfunctioning controls, ac adapter would not give power, outside lightbulbs do not last, headlamp controls fell apart, mirror conrtrols fell off, vent controls fell apart. When electric window control stopps working and hisses and smokes when engine is turned on. I also have been shocked painfully when trying to get the ac adapter to work. Next came repair of the ignition switch. . I could not pass state inspection because my "check engine" light was on. In August 2017, car had engine misfire, which cost me repair on the fuel pump. A few days after that, the battery died and I replaced it. One week later,, it started to smoke under the hood and the car was overheating. Then a few hours later, electric was on and off but power to vechicle stopped. . This ended up being the serp. Main belt. Next came the ignition switch. (novembwr 2017) early 2018. . Ac adapter stopped working again, and it was replaced. A c stopped blowing cold air spring 2018, and within weeks, the window control failing again, I have had heat stroke twice. Window control unit smokes and hisses when I turn on engine. Window also cracked while driving 55mph. Plastic vents cracked outside therm fell off & plastic undercarriage cover ripped b4 aircond, followed by the fan. When I brought car in for airc, I was told I needed new rear brake pads and the radiator fan and compressor. . There is no therm for engine. Fixed only brakes. Car then began to overheat while in traffic. Replaced radiator fan 2 weeks later. . Still need new ac compressor. Window control began to fail again next. First time window conrol failed, battery died same night, and I had to get serp. Belt and new battery. New battery has already had to be jumped 3 times, and seems as though engine misfire is beginning again. Problems going uphill today. . Slow accelleration, unsteady fuel flow.
