I purchased my car about a year a half ago and it has been giving me non stop engine and leak issues. i have a 2015 chevy sonic turbo and so far i have taken it to the mechanic 8 times to fix coolant leaks, fix my fuel thermostat as well as replace a head gasket after having it blow.
Vehicle felt like it was vibrating while in idle and when pressing down on the brakes. there was very low acceleration and it felt like my car was in neutral. i was driving on a city street going about 20-25 mph. the check engine light turned on. i took my car in and had to have the ignition coil and ignition boot replaced at 30,345 miles.
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!
Antifreeze overflow has a leak and is bubbling over the engine light on even after taking it to chevy dealer. car stuttered and had bad smell air does not get cool we had to pull over and the second time this happened the car would not start
Light come on check engine and the road slipping sign
The fuel injector is not working properly after only having my car for 6month.
Vehicle doesn't always have to be in motion however motion is triggering the engine to stay on or at times disappear for a short period of time. constant diagnostic testing code is p0011. i have been to general motors dealerships as they refuse me to go outside their dealers for repairs; results possibility of denying me coverage under my powertrain warranty. i have put in case after case with their complaints and only results into something i already do is 'simply' call dealership. i am driving a very unsafe unpredictable vehicle that is not being fixed. i have been to 3 of their dealerships total times of 8 times. currently still till this day with same issue.
Car is less than 3 years old and the radiator is rusted/corroded. this kind of corrosion should not happen on a car less than 3 years old. i kept smelling something burning when driving on the highway, so i started monitoring the coolant levels. i was adding more than a gallon of coolant each month.
The vehicle is not safe - the body control module has went out in the vehicle. it is not covered under the power train warranty
June 2015 the dealer switched cars when we refused the options at the closing of the deal to a base/standard car. a week or so after purchasing the car a tire popped as we drove down the street. it is very loud in the morning. a high pitched squeaking sound. next we have been smelling gas,oil/fluid leaking from the car. the driveway is stained from it. the thermostat has been changed 3 times. it has been jerking,stalking, sputtering. the antifreeze reservoir has boiled over several times. it smells like something electrical is burning. the air conditioner doesn't cool well. the windshield wipers tore up in less than a year.thealership doesn't know why these things have happened they want to do maintenancing to see if that fixes it. over $1000. we got this compact car to save and survive. this has been an expensive cheap car.
