1 Owners/service Manual problem of the 2014 Chevrolet Sonic

Failure Date: 09/15/2018

I have a concern that needs to be address. My passenger seat light comes on and goes off on its own. I had my car looked sometime ago at a dealership along with problems with the window on the front passenger side. Now the back passenger right side window just went out without a warning. I am now stuck with a window. That I cannot roll up or even manually. I am starting to believe my car I purchased brand new with 9 miles on it. Have electrical issue, that have not been address. This car is not old enough to have this types of problems. I am just baffled of however everything is out of pocket. Last year I spent over $200 getting my car fixed something about fuel line or something was clogged. I am like how is that possible when I take my car in for oil changes on the regular. This is not a 7 year old or plus car. I shouldn't be having these problems already in my 1st year - 4th year. I had to change batteries twices as well. Can you please assist. Multiple car problems for a 2014 I brought new are causing me a hardship.

4 Owners/service Manual problem of the 2014 Chevrolet Sonic

Failure Date: 04/01/2015

Traded in my original recall chevy colbalt 2005 in April 2014. I was given a trade in amount which I used to put down on a new car, Chevrolet Sonic 2014. I had it all of a week when suddenly I was driving and stepping on the gas peddle it began to slow down to not moving regardless to how much I stepped on the gas. Naturally, I was very upset. I called for help. They transferred me into a different 2014 Sonic. From day 1 I notice problems not concerned only because the issue lasted 10-15 minutes and then it was fine. The problem began with not being able to open trunk,doors lock of steering wheel when exiting the car and the beeping sound as if something was left on in the car. As time passed it was happening more frequent. Finally in April 2015 the beeping and steering wheel and all the above now wouldnt stop. I ran it to service. They did a total global diagnostic said all was now fine. I left with ease, within 3 weeks on may 9th my daughter and I were coming home and just parked. I couldnt open any locks remote didn't work manual locks didn't work the car was in total shut down. I didn't have my cell phone, I belong to onstar and called them for help. To my surprise they refused me roadside asst saying its an electrical issue they don't get involved . That's another issue. Being in fla stuck in a hot car for over an hour of fear in a state of panic, I tried pushing every button possible out of fear, and crazy as it sounds I turn the button headlights from auto to off { take note the lights were not on } and suddenly the locks opened. Strange. Towed car to service again, held it for a week and cant find any issues. Not satisfied due to the issues in the past and most recent. I know something is seriously wrong. Spoke to corporate and no one wants to do anything . They are only offering me 11,000 and I have an outstanding loan for 13,200. So I will be without a car.

5 Owners/service Manual problem of the 2012 Chevrolet Sonic

Failure Date: 02/18/2015

(automatic transmission) button on gear shift gets stuck in engage. Allows free shifting from park to any gear without the brake pedal being pressed. May easily be bumped into neutral, drive, reverse, or manual with just a touch. Also applies if in drive or any other gear which may result in loss of control if it should accidentally be bumped. When this occurs, it is not possible to remove the key from the ignition. This exposes the vehicle to the potential of theft or other unauthorized use. . Read more...
