Recently reported ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL problems on 2013 Chevrolet Sonic

The speed limit goes in and out to different number so i won't know what's the actual limit. the radio goes in and out so sometimes when it comes back in it scares me. different signals are popping in and out on the dashboard so i'm not sure about that. this has been happening since i've had the car so the date is when i received the car. the car's dealer said they tried everything and there is nothing else they could could do.

Takata recall. my air conditioner went out on may 28,2018 while i was sitting in my yard waiting to cook off my car. so i have replaced the air compressor fuse and relays and it still does not work. it came on once since they have been exchanged and the compressor still will not come back on after i have had it unplugged and plugged back in.

When the car is first started and turned off, the horn goes off each time. if parked but still running, the horn goes off every 2-3 minutes. when locking the car, it doesn't make any noise indicating it has been locked. when phone is plugged in, the music doesn't always work properly. there is a piece to one of the hoses that broke and is now making car run lean. when idling (at a red light or stop sign) the engine shakes vigorously and is harder to get back speed. when car is running and the hood is open, there is a hissing sound.

Things started after my vehicle was repaired after a car hit me and took off. i noticed the check engine light came and stayed on, at certain times the car either while driving or while stopped the car will either shake for 2-3 minutes or also while stationary the traction system light will come on then turn off. i've also experienced issues with slow or not as responsive acceleration or unprompted rpg gauge revving and sometimes thats coupled with the shaking to the point that my has shut off while driving down a city street. i was never aware of any recalls so im not sure if it has anything to do with a possible recall that hasnt been diagnosed but theres great cause for concern. - sn: i wasnt able to choose every affected part.

My vehicle was in motion, straight-line, at 60 mph. this morning on my way to work, my gauge panel went haywire. this isn't the first time it's happened. it's happened many times. i've taken video of this condition and uploaded it to youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivsdeo8lcr8 when it happens, not only does the speed and rpm's fluctuate rapidly and inaccurately, but the turn signals quit working (safety issue!), and since the traction control light is coming on, i assume it has quit working as well (safety issue). the vehicle is under warranty, and i've had it in to a local chevrolet dealership (rk chevrolet, virginia beach, va) for repair. they were told of the youtube video and they watched it. they then tried to reproduce the problem and couldn't. so the vehicle was returned without a repair being done. the problem is intermittent. i've tried contact chevrolet in another way but they were unresponsive. time to try something different. that's why i am contacting you all.

While driving my car for the past year now i have noticed my rpm gauge sticking and revving on its own. it is starting to happen more consistently. when i'm driving downhill the rpm gauge will rev high and stay stuck high. then when i put the car in park it will rev high on its own and stay stuck and eventually come back down. something new i have started to experience is when i'm at a complete stop the rpm gauge will start revving up and down on it's own while my car lights brighten and dim and my warning light comes on that i'm sliding which is impossible since i'm at a complete stop. i have also noticed the transmission has started to feel jerky lately with everything else. i just purchased this vehicle almost 2 years ago and i only have 58,000 miles on it.

My window in the rear will not go up and down from the front control panel,and my key is sticking they have fix my key once and my windows was wandering what was going on.

The senor codes keep coming on. had it 3months in shop to reset 3times. now thermostat or senor bad. wipers didn't work one day after i brought it. the hoses disconnected from hood area. had to drive home in rain with head out window. the rpm keeps sticking while i'm driving it. i live on s.s. so i don't have a lot of bucks to keep putting in this car. i traded a good car in chev avero with nothing wrong with it.the dealer charged me to much for this car and wont take it back.you ask for date it been going on since dec 2015 to april 2016

I've had this car for only 2 years and there is always something wrong. first i was driving and it just shut off all the light on dash board went off and from that point on nothing on the steering wheel works. no horn and none of the controls of it are working. my passenger air bag light stays on. been in the shop 3 times still not working. now the warning light of over heating come on everytime i have to still in traffic on my way home or driving for a over an hour, have to turn the heater on, on high to get the light and warning beeping to stop. it's already 90, but if i don't the car start shaking. the reason i bought a newer car was to not have to put it on the shop every 4 months. so no horn, cruise control, not sure if air bag work on passenger side and to top it off have to ride with the heat on while it's 90outside to make it home safe, ,(i think,,).. i call gm customer services over and over again, and they tell me there is not other problems with other cars. my warranty is expired. so it's on me.

Code p0171 and p0420. i have replaced everything in the car that these codes state. new thermostat, catalytic converter, both 02 sensors, exhaust hose. fixes for a few days to a week and the same codes keep coming back. now the button on my gear shift sticks keeping the gear shift from locking into place. this stops me from being able to turn my car completely off and removing key from ignition.
