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?

2012 Chevrolet Sonic Owner Comments

problem #1

Sonic LTZ 1.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 9,215 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

WAS GOING TO PICK UP MY WIFE FROM WORK. NOTICED PASSENGER SIDE OF WINDSHIELD WAS CRACKED. NO VISIBLE SIGN THAT A ROCK OR ANYTHING ELSE HIT WINDSHIELD. SEEMS WINDSHIELD TWISTED. APPROX. 8 TO 12 INCH CRACK. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 9200 MILES ON IT. STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I BELIEVE CHEVROLET SHOULD REPLACE WINDSHIELD WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. AFTER ALL THEY SAY BUMPER TO BUMPER.
