2014 Chevrolet Sonic

THISNVEHICLE WAS PURCHASE ON THE YEAR 2016 OF APRIL. SO HAPPY AT FIRST BUT IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS HAVE PROBLEM WITH LIGHTS AND ONE OF TTHE COVER OF THE FRONT MIRRORS ARE MISSING . CALLED AND WENT BACK TO THE DEALER (TOYOTA OF NORTH HOLLYWOOD ) AND SAID BRING IT TO THE CHEVY BRANCH WHERE THEY CANNCHECK AND FIX IT . IT WAS STRESSING AND DEPRESSING CAUSE EVRYWEEK PASSED YOU'LL EXPERIENCED ANOTHER PROBLEM SUCH AS AIRDCONDITION AND HEATER NOT WORKING . I'VE BEEN BACK AND FORTH TO CHEVY IN VAN NUYS , CALIFORNIA BUT THEY ARE SAYING THAT THERE'S NO WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE . I TRIED TO RETURN THE VEHICLE TO THAT DEALER BUT THEY SAID THAT MY CREDIT SCORE STILL LOW OF COURSE IT WILL SHOW THAT CAUSE I JUST BOUGHT IT AND MY CREDIT HASN'T BEEN SMESTABLISH YET , WHEN I BOUGHT IT THEY ASKED A LARGE AMOUNT $3500 OF DOWN PAYMENT DUE TO HAVING LOW SCORE. IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE CAUSE I WILL USE A VEHICLE THAT HAS ELECTRICAL DISFUNCTIONAL. I HAVEN'T EVEN USE THE HEATER AND THE AIRCON ON THIS CAR EVER SINCE I BOUGHT IT CAUSE IT'S NOT WORKING . YOU CAN ASK THE DEALER HOW MANY TIMES I WENT THERE AND TRIED TO BEG TO GIVE ME A DIFFERENT CAR BUT NO LUCK INSTEAD I FOUND OUT THE SALES PERSON SOLD THE CAR TO ME WASN'T WORKING THERE ANYMORE . AND I WALKED OUT WITHOUT ANY HELP FROM THEM . YOU CAN EVEN ASK CHEVY IN VAN NUYS HOW MANY TIME I'VE BEEN THERE TO ASK HELP CAUSE THE DEALER ALWAYS POINTING ME BACK TO THEM . IT'S HARD TO USE A FINANCE CAR PAYING $396 SOMETHING A MONTH AND THE CAR IS NOT FUNCTIONING RIGHT . THEY HAVE ADDED A GAP INSURANCE ON MY CONTRACT AND EVEN THAT COMPANY WASN'T HELPING ME AT ALL . SO I END UP USING THIS CAR WITHOUT ACCESS ON AIRCONDITION AND HEATER . SUFFER 4 YEARS WITHOUT THESE BENEFITS . I COULDN'T AFFORD FIXING THAT EVER SINCE CAUSE IT'S TOO EXPENSIVE . YOU CAN SEE THAT I HAVEN'T PUT A LOT OF MILEAGE ON THIS CAR CAUSE I DON'T REALLY USE IT THAT MUCH. STILL PAYING THIS .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SONIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED HE CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO HIS DESTINATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VALVE COVER, INTAKE MANIFOLD AND MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT CALLED BANKS CHEVROLET CADILLAC BUICK GMC LOCATED AT 137 MANCHESTER ST, CONCORD, NH 03301 (844) 511-2874, TO NOTIFY THE DEALER OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,200.

A PIECE OF THE BUTTON ON THE GEAR SHIFT HAD BROKEN OFF AND GOTTEN JAMMED IN THE SHIFT. CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BE UNABLE TO SHIFT OUT OF DRIVE. THIS IS A SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS ISSUE, AND IF I WAS NOT IN THE CAR WITH ANOTHER PERSON WHO WAS ABLE TO JIMMY THE SHIFT FORWARD FOR ME WHILE I HELD DOWN THE BREAK, I WOULD HAVE ROLLED FORWARD OFF THE ROAD OR INTO THE BUILDING IN FRONT OF ME. IF YOU LOOK UP THIS ISSUE MANY SONIC DRIVERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME ISSUE.

PROBLEM #1 GOT THE CAR IN 2016, AFTER ABOUT A YEAR THE SHIFTING STICKS BUTTON GOT STUCK AND BROKE. PREVENTED ME FROM CHANGING GEARS OR GETTING OUT OF PARK. HAD TO CALL FOR IT TO BE TOWED AND BUY A NEW STUCK FROM DEALERSHIP. PROBLEM #2 BEGAN GETTING A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ABOUT A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING CAR IN 2016 DUE TO ENGINE MISFIRE, FOUND OUT IN 2020 THIS WAS DUE TO THE AIR VENT TUBE UNDER THE HOOD BEING CRACKED. BOTH THESE ISSUES ARE COMMON WITH MANY CONSUMERS I HAVE READ
