2015 Chevrolet Sonic Complaint Log

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT ROAD WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 60 MPH WHEN SHE SAW A DEER IN THE ROAD - SHE SWERVED AND BRAKED HITTING THE DEER IN THE DRIVERS HEADLIGHT AREA ABOVE DRIVERS FRONT TIRE AND BOTH DRIVER SIDE DOORS. THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE SEAT BELT DID NOT LOCK IN PLACE AND HOLD HER IN PLACE.

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

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER PRESENCE MODULE ACCORDING TO OUR MECHANIC. WHEN AN ADULT IS SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WITH THE CAR TURNED ON AND STATIONARY, SOMETIMES, THE AIRBAG SYSTEM DOES NOT TURN ON AS IF IT DOES NOT RECOGNIZE A PERSON THERE. IF THE CAR IS THEN PUT INTO DRIVE, THE AIRBAG SYSTEM STILL REMAINS OFF. OTHER TIMES, THE AIR BAG SYSTEM WILL TURN ON AT THE BEGINNING OF THE DRIVE AND THEN TURN OFF RANDOMLY DURING THE DRIVE WHILE SOMEONE IS STILL SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN OBVIOUS ISSUE AS THE AIRBAG MAY NOT ACTIVATE IN AN ACCIDENT WHEN THERE IS INDEED SOMEONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT.

CHECKED WITH BOTH CAR KEYS TO MAKE SURE IT WASN'T A KEY ELECTRICAL ISSUE. THE RED SIGNAL LIGHT IN THE CAR INDICATING ALARM IS ON FLASHES MORE BRIGHTLY THAN USUAL. I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO SECURE MY VEHICLE. THANK YOU FOR YOU TIME.

SHIFT BUTTON STICKS. CAN NOT REMOVE KEY, CAN NOT SHIFT VEHICLE INTO PARK. SHIFT BUTTON WAS REDESIGNED BY GENERAL MOTORS PART # 42423234 BUT THEY WILL NOT RECALL! THIS HAPPENS TO EVERY CHEVROLET SONIC.

CAR HAS ROUGH IDLE AND WHEN PARKED RUNNING THE CAR IT STALLS OUT. ALSO AFTER PUTTING GAS IN THE GAS TANK THE CAR WILL NOT TURN OVER TO START. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON NOW TOO. THE CAR WANTS TO STALL AT INTERSECTIONS AND IN TRAFFIC.

WE OWN A CHEVY SONIC AT ROUNG 28000 MILES THE BUTTON ON THE GEAR SHIFT WOULD GET STUCK AND NOT POP OUT; ONE LEAVING THE CAR IN GEAR, TWO NOT ALLOWING YOU TO REMOVE THE KEY AFTER YOU HAVE "PARKED" AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE. BECAUSE THE BUTTON DOES NOT POP OUT THE CAR STAYS IN GEAR AND THUS EVEN AFTER PARKING AND TURNING THE ENGINE OFF THE CAR CAN SHIFT AND ROLL OUT OF GEAR. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ON ALL YEAR SONICS. THE BUTTON STUCK, WHILE WE DROVE, AND PARKED. WE THEN HAD THE PARK REPLACED. THE SECOND BUTTON SNAPPED AT THE BASE TWO MONTHS LATER!!!! NOW AFRIAD TO USE THE CAR. I BELIEVE ONLY REPLACING THE ENTIRE GEAR SHIFT WILL MAKE THIS PROBLEM GO AWAY. THE BUTTONS JUST DONT WORK.

HORN DOES NOT WORK. DOES NOT WORK WHEN USING SMART KEY/FAB. NO ACCIDENT OR ADVERSE EVENT FROM THE PROBLEM AS OF YET. PRESENTS A DANGER WHEN HORN IS NEEDED TO PREVENT A POSSIBLE COLLISION WITH OTHER MOTORISTS AND/OR PEDESTRIANS.

OUR VEHICLE WAS HIT WHILE IN MOTION AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH ON A CITY STREET ON THE DRIVER SIDE BY ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT DIDN'T YIELD AT A STOP INTERSECTION. SIDE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. ENTIRE DRIVER SIDE OF OUR THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. MY HEAD BOUNCED OFF THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW CAUSING INJURY THAT I DIDN'T SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION FOR. CHILD IN BACKSEAT DRIVER SIDE HIT HEAD AS WELL, AND DID SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. OUR VEHICLE WAS INOPERABLE, AND HAD TO BE TOWED FROM THE SCENE.

I HAD JUST PULLED INTO A PARKING SPOT AT THE GROCERY STORE, I PRESSED THE BUTTON ON THE SHIFT STICK AND ATTEMPTED TO PUT IT INTO PARK, HOWEVER THE STICK GOT STUCK AND WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO SHIFT UP PAST THE "R" OR REVERSE POSITION, I COULD NOT PLACE THE VEHICLE INTO PARK. I HAD TO CALL SOMEONE TO COME HELP ME GET THE CAR INTO THE PARK POSITION. THIS SHIFT STICK BUTTON WAS GETTING STUCK SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THIS BUT IT HAS NEVER GOTTEN STUCK LIKE THAT. I HAVE TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP BUT I DOUBT THEY WILL BE OF ANY HELP.

THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE - THE BODY CONTROL MODULE HAS WENT OUT IN THE VEHICLE. IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY

WHEN SHIFTER FROM ANY GEAR INTO PARK THE BUTTON ON THE SHIFTER STICKS IN THE DEPRESSED POSITION MAKING IT EASY TO BUMP THE SHIFTER BACK INTO GEAR AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE. AFTER THE SHIFTER IF PUT INTO THE PARK POSITION THE VEHICLE WILL NOT RELEASE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION UNTIL AFTER THE BUTTON SLIDES SLOWLY INTO THE LATCHED "NOT DEPRESSED" POSITION. THE ISSUE OCCURS ONLY WHEN PLACING THE VEHICLE PARK AND DOES NOT AFFECT ANY OTHER SHIFTER POSITION.

THE HEADRESTS ARE TOO TALL AND WIDE. THEY OBSTRUCT VISIBILITY WHEN BACKING UP AND WHEN CHANGING LANES ON THE HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS.

CAR WAS RUNNING WHILE LISTENING TO RADIO. ONCE IT WAS CUT OFF, I COULD NOT LOCK THE CAR OR CUT IT ON AGAIN. IT COMPLETELY DIED.

THE SHIFTING GEAR GETS STUCK, AND IT CANNOT BE MOVED FROM PARK TO DRIVE. TO MOVE THE GEAR FROM PARK TO DRIVE AND HAVE TO USE A LOT OF STRENGTH TO MAKE THE GEAR CHANGE. BUT SOMETIMES IT GETS SO STUCK I HAVE TO WAIT TO MAKE THE CHANGE. WHEN THE CAR IS TURN OFF I HAVE TO WAIT 2-3 MINUTES TO REMOVE THE KEY. THIS HAPPENS ON AND OFF FOR NO REASON. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED, IT DOES NOT MATTER WHERE.
