2015 Chevrolet Sonic

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.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET MY DOORS UNLOCKED, ALL OF THEM. WHILE STILL DRIVING I PUSHED THE BUTTON ON THE DRIVER DOOR TO LOCK THE DOORS AND THEY ALL LOCKED. SHUT MY CAR OFF AT MY DESTINATION, GOT BACK INTO CAR AND STARTED IT, BEGAN DRIVING AND AGAIN IT HAPPENED, I RE LOCKED ALL THE DOORS AGAIN. NEXT DAY, STARTED CAR, PUT INTO REVERSE AND A WARNING FLASHED ACROSS MY INFORMATION SCREEN ABOUT MY BACK UP CAMERA NOT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY (THIS WAS NOT AN OPTION ON MY CAR WHEN I BOUGHT IT, THERE IS NO BACK UP CAMERA) SINCE THEN I DON'T HAVE THE OUTDOOR TEMP SHOWING ANYMORE AND THE RADIO VOLUME, PHONE BUTTONS ON STEERING WHEEL DO NOT WORK, JUST THE ONES ON THE RIGHT RIDE OF STEERING WHEEL. THIS HAS HAPPENED JUST SINCE MY WARRANTY ON THESE ITEMS HAS EXPIRED. WAS THIS DONE ON PURPOSE BY THE DEALERSHIP, USING SOFTWARE INSTALLED WHILE GETTING MY COMPLEMENTARY OIL CHANGE (THAT HAS NOW ALSO EXPIRED)? I HAVE NOT HAD MY CAR IN FOR A RECALL WITHIN THE LAST YEAR. IF I REMEMBER IT HAS ONLY BEEN IN FOR ONE RECALL RIGHT AFTER I FIRST BOUGHT IT (AROUND JANUARY 2016) SO I KNOW IT'S NOT THAT. I HAVE SEARCHED THE WORLD WIDE WEB TO LEARN THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH NO RESOLVE AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS. I FEEL MY DOORS UNLOCKING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

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!

VEHICLE ALARM SOUNDING. WITH ALL DOORS SHUT PROPERLY. I PUSH THE LOCK DOOR CONTROL ON THE KEY 2X TO ENABLE THE HORN TO SOUND INDICATING THE VEHICLE IS LOCKED AND SECURED WITH ALARM AS IT SHOULD. AS OF 28 OCT 2015 I DO THE SAME AND NOW ALARM IS GOING OFF AS IF A DOOR IS OPEN OR SOMEONE IS BREAKING IN. ALL FUSES HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND ARE GOOD. VEHICLE IS PARKED IN GARAGE ON LEVEL SURFACE. 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.
