2014 Chevrolet Sonic

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SONIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER (VAN CHEVROLET, 8585 E FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT BLVD, SCOTTSDALE, AZ 85260, 1-480-696-5884) PERFORMED SEVERAL DIAGNOSTIC TESTS THAT INCLUDED THE WATER PUMP, A GASKET BOOT IN THE ENGINE, AND THE BATTERY LINES. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY WIRING KEPT BURNING OUT, BUT THE DEALER HAD NOT PROVIDED A REMEDY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

THE WARNING CHIME THAT IS SUPPOSED TO SOUND IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BUT THE DEALER SAID MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BY THE DATE IT WAS MADE. THE WARNING CHIME WILL NOT SOUND FOR CERTAIN WARNINGS. MY VEHICLE OVERHEATED AND NO WARNING SOUND WAS MADE. MY VEHICLE TIRE WENT FLAT A WHILE DRIVING AND NO WARNING SOUND WAS MADE. IF THE TURN SIGNAL IS ON THE OTHER WARNING SOUNDS DO NOT WORK I.E. SEATBELT WARNING CHIME. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE SINCE I HAVE HAD TWO WARNINGS WITH NO SOUND TO ALERT ME.

THE BUTTON ON THE SIFTER HANDLE HAS BROKEN AND GETS STUCK IN ALLOWING THE SHIFT HANDLE TO MOVE FREELY. THIS HAS CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS ALSO ALLOWED MY VEHICLE TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE ON ITS OWN WHILE SITTING IN THE PARKED POSITION. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON IN A LOT OF THE SONIC AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. MY VEHICLE HAS ALSO SHIFTED INTO REVERSE AND HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE PARKED BEHIND ME.

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WILL NOT TURN ON WHEN THERE IS A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT. THIS IS A SPORADIC PROBLEM AND DOES NOT ALWAYS HAPPEN. IT WILL ALSO ILLUMINATE BOTH THE ON AND OFF LIGHTS AT THE SAME TIME. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IF IN AN ACCIDENT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY IF THE SENSOR IS NOT WORKING TO DETECT A PASSENGER.

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.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE I HIT A STATIONARY SUV FROM THE BACK, I WAS TRAVELING 30-35 MPH PER THE POLICE REPORT THROUGH A LARGE CITY INTERSECTION. MY SONIC WAS HIT HARD ON THE WHOLE FRONT LEFT (DRIVER SIDE) THE CAR WAS TOTALED AND WAS REPORTED TO HAVE A LOT OF LEFT FRAME DAMAGE. DURING THIS ACCIDENT MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. NO AMBULANCE WAS CALLED BUT I WAS TAKEN TO THE VA TO RECEIVE TREATMENT FOR MY BACK PAIN FROM THE ACCIDENT. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT BASED ON THE HARD HIT AND THE AMAZING OF DAMAGE MY AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED FOR MY SAFETY. THE REASON THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY IS UNKNOWN TO ME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SONIC.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000.
