Temp 45-50 degrees, driving in moderate rain for 20-25 minutes, cruise control on. Activate high beams, car shifts to 1st gear at 65 mph, rpms jump above 6000, turn off high beams returns to normal operation. Repeated 2 more times in next 4 miles, even at 25 mph. When end of trip, shut off car and completely dead, no lights, no cranking. Following morning (today) car starts normally. Will report any further from my commute today, if warranted

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.

I own a 2014 Chevrolet Sonic. The radio no longer works and I have no audible warning chimes for keys in ignition, door open, turn signal, seatbelt. Also no dash lights. I see there is a recall 17130. I have spoke with the dealership in my area, they refuse to do the repairs because I do not have a recall letter. When checking my VIN, there are no reported recalls. I need a recall letter so I may have this repaired. Thank you

While driving down the highway, going approximately 65mph, the dash lights including speedometer turn off and reset. They stay off from 10-20 seconds then reset back on. This has happened multiple times in the last 3 months. Has only happened in 6th gear and is very dangerous knowing the repair dealership can not figure out what triggers it.
