2013 CHEVROLET SONIC Complaints

WHEN THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A STOP LIGHT THE ENGINE WAS SURGING WITHOUT APPLICATION OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ILLUMINATED. WE CONTINUED DRIVING UNTIL ABOUT AN HOUR LATER WHEN THE CAR WAS PUT IN PARK IN THE DRIVEWAY THE ENGINE SURGED UNTIL I SHUT IT OFF. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED AND WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER THE NEXT DAY. THE SERVICE ADVISOR REQUESTED WE BRING IT BACK THE FOLLOWING MONDAY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING SATURDAY. DURING THE DRIVE BACK TO THE DEALER FOR THE MONDAY APPOINTMENT AND STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT THE ENGINE RPM'S DROPPED IN HALF AND RAN ROUGH FOR A FEW SECONDS. THE RPM DECREASE AND ROUGH RUNNING HAS BEEN A LONGER TERM ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY DIAGNOSED WITH NO RESOLUTION. I WAS ADVISED BASED ON CURRENT DIAGNOSIS THAT THE EVAP PURGE CONTROL SOLENOID NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

LAST YEAR ON APRIL 12TH 2016 I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT WITH A CSX DUMP TRUCK HER MERGED ONTO MY SIDE AND HIT ME MY DOOR CAVED IN AND EVERYTHING BUT MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY IM OKAY AND SO IS MY CAR BUT I HAD TO GET MY WHOLE DRIVER SIDE FIXED AND NOW MY CHILD DONT WORK AT ALL AND I HAVE A 3YR OLD THAT IS FIGURING OUT HOW TO OPEN THE DOOR AND IM LOSEING SPEED AND POWER AND MY THING THAT TELLS ME HOW MANY MILES TILL THE NEXT GAS STOP IS ALL MESSED UP IT JUST TELLS ME OFF THE WALL NUMBERS AND I NEED ALL OF THIS FIXED.

WINDSHIELD WIPER PUMP WON'T SPRAY. WHEN LEAVE KEYS IN IGNITION DOESN'T BEEP TO TELL ME STILL IN IGNITION WHEN LOCK DOORS

PUT CAR IN REVERSE HEARD A LOUD NOISE. CONTROL ARM WAS BENT. HAS WORN OUT MY NEW TIRES DUE TO ALIGNMENT DENIED BY DEALER DUE TO THIS

ACCELERATION IS BAD, AND INCONSISTEN. ALSO, WHEN SHIFTING GEARS THE SHIFTER BUTTON GETS STUCK EVERYTIME NEVER FAILS. THAT'S A REAL SAFETY ISSUE CONSIDERING I ACCIDENTLY BUMP IT, AND THE CAR WENT INTO MANUAL, WHILE DRIVING. I BARELY TOUCHED IT AND IT MOVED. THIS IS THE LAST GM CAR THAT I WILL EVER BUY ALWAYS SOMETHING WITH THEIR CARS. THE ACCELERATION FOR THIS CAR ON THE INTERSTATE IS BAD PEOPLE GO AROUND ME BECAUSE IT TAKES SO LONG TO ACCELERATE, IT ALSO HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING. I'VE ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR ABOUT A MONTH.

THE BUTTON ON THE GEAR SHIFT THAT ACTIVATES THE SHIFTER AND ALLOWS IT TO MOVE REGULARLY GETS STUCK ALLOWING THE CAR TO BE PUT INTO GEAR WITHOUT HOLDING THE BUTTON. THIS POSES A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO SAFETY MECHANISM PREVENTING THE CAR FROM ACCIDENTALLY BEING PUT INTO GEAR AND ALLOWING THE CAR TO ROLL WHILE UNATTENDED. THIS ISSUE ALSO PREVENTS THE KEY FROM BEING REMOVED WHILE THE BUTTON IS STUCK EVEN WHILE IN PARK WHICH POSES AN ADDITIONAL SAFETY HAZARD. THIS ISSUE IS VERY COMMON WITH THIS CAR AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY

"TAKATA RECALL" I AM HAVING TROUBLE REMOVING THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. IT GETS STUCK AND WON'T COME OUT, ALSO WHEN I WANT TO PUT THE CAR ON REVERSE IT ALSO GETS STUCK, IT WON'T CHANGE GEAR. I REALLY NEED HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM.
