2014 CHEVROLET SONIC Complaints

I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING TO GM HEADQUARTERS AS WELL AS SEVERAL OF THE CHEVY DEALERSHIPS IN MY LOCAL AREA! I HAVE BEEN TO ALMOST EVERY CHEVY DEALERSHIP IN TOWN FOR SERVICE AND NO ONE CAN FIND THE PROBLEM, OR TELL ME WHAT IS CAUSING ME THE ISSUES I HAVE BEEN HAVING WITH MY CAR SINCE NOVEMBER 2015!! I RECENTLY HAD A NEW BATTERY PUT IN (THE 5TH BATTERY ON THE CAR, THE 2ND ONE THIS MONTH!!) BUT THE BATTERIES KEEP DYING! OF COURSE I AM BEING HIT WITH COSTS WHEN THIS HAPPENS OR THE "SEARCH" FOR THE ISSUE IS INITIATED. I HAVE FOUND ONLY 1 DEALERSHIP THAT ACTUALLY CARES ENOUGH ABOUT ME AND THIS CAR TO EITHER WAIVE OR MODIFY THESE COSTS. EITHER WAY, THIS IS UNFAIR TO ME IN THAT YOU ARE NOT RECALLING THE VEHICLE, BUT I STILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. I FEEL THAT YOU KNEW WHEN YOU ROLLED THE PIECE OF JUNK OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE THAT IT WAS NOT GOING TO BE WOTH ANYTHING AFTER THAT FIRST YEAR! THOUGH MY VIN DOES NOT RENDER ANY RESULTS IN THE RECAL SEARCH PORTAL, IT SHOULD! I HAVE HAD SO MUCH MAJOR WORK DONE ON THIS CAR AND IT HAS NOT EVEN BEEN 10 YEARS YET! I NEED GUIDANCE IN FILING A CLASS ACTION AGAINST CHEVROLET BECAUSE YOU KNOW THERE ARE MAJOR ISSUES WITH THE CRAFTSMANSHIP OF THE VEHICLE, YET YOU WON'T ISSUE A RECALL. I HAVE READ SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FOR THIS VEHICLE AND THAT IS ENOUGH TO HAVE A RECALL ISSUED. I CAN'T STOP FOR GAS, ERRANDS ETC WITHOUT HAVING TO WORRY IF THE CAR WILL CRANK BACK UP OR RESTART! IT IS SO UNRELIABLE AND IT IS DEFINATELY NOT SAFE! I HAVE CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AT LEAST 6 TIMES FOR A JUMP HELP IN THE LAST MONTH! I HAD TO CALL TWICE IN ONE DAY MOST RECENTLY!! THE DEALERSHIP GAVE ME A REPLACEMENT BATTERY OCT 4TH AND BY OCT 12TH IT HAD 5% VOLTAGE! THE CAR WAS SITTING IN MY SON'S DRIVEWAY THAT DAY--THEN THIS HAPPENED AGAIN LATER THAT MORNING AS I WAS LEAVING A DR APPT--I WAS PLANNING TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE!

CAR WON'T START IT ONLY CLICKS REALLY FAST. HAD BATTERY CHECKED AND IT'S FULLY CHARGED ONCE I JUMP IT THE CAR WILL DRIVE UNTIL I SHUT IT OFF. IT WILL START BACK UP RIGHT AWAY BUT IF I LET IT SIT IT WILL NOT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SONIC. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS ENGAGED IN THE PARK POSITION, THE KEY FAILED TO RELEASE FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH AND THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN. ADDITIONALLY, AN ABNORMAL CLICKING NOISE WAS HEARD. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000.

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.

WHEN DRIVING AT 54 MPH THERE IS A JUMPING MOTION OF THE VEHICLE. IT FEELS LIKE I HIT THE BRAKE PEDAL. IT WILL DO THIS SEVERAL TIME WHEN DRIVING ONLY AT 54 MPH FOR MORE THEN 1/4 OF A MILE. THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHT AND ALL FLUIDS ARE CHECKED AND ARE ADEQUATE.

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.

VEHICLE OFF AND PARKED. KEY IN IGNITION. OFF POSITION. VEHICLE STARTED ON ITS OWN WITH NO OTHER MANUAL INPUT. PREVIOUSLY HAD RECALL 17130 KEY REMINDER CHIME C/W ON 4/27/2016.

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.
