The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Sonic. The contact just purchased the vehicle and noticed that the chime failed to sound when the key was placed in the ignition. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who informed the contact to take the vehicle to a Chevrolet dealer. The vehicle was taken to gold rush Chevrolet (located at 570 grass valley hwy, auburn, ca 95603, (530) 392-4672), but was not diagnosed or repaired due to the diagnostic and repair fees. The contact also stated that all the doors failed to remain unlocked when exiting the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failures and provided case number: 9-5199799138. The contact was referred to NHTSA. The approximate failure mileage was 94,000.

I have found the switch blade key used by many Chevrolet products has a tendency to operate when the key is put in your pants pocket. On many occasions I have locked or unlocked the doors or released the trunk latch simply by sitting down or walking down the steps.this is a minor problem until you realize there is an auto start feature on this key and I worry that I could accidentally start the car by sitting in my lazyboy with the key in my pocket. The results could be death due to carbon monoxide with the garage being under the bedrooms.the buttons are not recessed and are easily activated by rubbing on your leg. I have had a similar key fob from Ford for many years and have never had any problem like this.
