CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2012 Chevrolet Sonic is fairly new & is already showing an early trend of transmission problems.
Owners report hesitation when shifting & grinding/hard shifting into gears. Some dealers are calling the condition "normal". Another owner reported his dealership replaced the transmission under warranty, but the new transmission had the same exact grinding problem. Design defect?

This car is only 3 years old. Of course I have a problem with the car 6 months after the warranty expired. The car had a leak. When ever it rained, there would be water under the carpet. Turns out a seal has deteriorated. A 3 year old car! This is unacceptable. I can't believe I had to pay for this. The best part is, there was not cost for any parts. All $400 was toward labor. This car had a defect and I should not have to pay for it
Update from Sep 15, 2016: Car started leaking again!!! Same spot and everything. This has to be a manufactures defect. I took it to the dealer, they said, "Well, it has been raining pretty hard lately." Thats no excuse. My 2002 Nissan has never had this problem. They want me to pay for another leak test. I will not buy from chevy again.
