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?
OK the battery busted the 2nd day made a mess all over the place, they put the car in the shop and sprayed salt solution and made a mess even worst, chev, place said it would not hurt anything bull, rusting converters, it started pecking and I thought it was the lifters and the chev. place said it was injector keep it 3 days and said they started up a new one and it done the same thing, wow. the rubber is coming off the inside door and they are going to fix that, now the transmission started popping when I put it in reverse, today my left door window pops when you roll it down, brakes are making noise now so of course I will let them know this. They have ask for a new car from GM and of course they said no, OK I am fed up and hope all reads this and let me know what they think. I am sure I will be back!!!!
