This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Razor sharp peeling chrome from interior door handles cuts fingers and hands, safety hazard to a driver away from home or not near bandages. Common GM problem from Sonic, Cruze, Malibu, traverse, equinox, Silverado. All GM models
Car shuts off randomly during stop lights. I've researched it and have found it's a known issue with my model. When idling it will randomly shut off completely and won't turn back on for a few seconds to minutes. It will do it at stop signs stop lights. Even in im just parked.
Car shuts off and check engine light comes on, when it is being driven. Always when we have had rain. We have taken car to dealer and they cannot find the problem. Once we put heat in the gas tank it starts to drive until another rain hits.
The upper dash panel (closest to the windshield) has begun to melt. It has an obviously sticky or tacky feel to it at all times. The stickiness is most noticeable in the afternoon and evening on warm, sunny days. After sitting in the dark all night long, the stickiness is less prominent although still noticeable. This dash panel piece has begun to "sparkle" at night because it has hundreds of small, melted spots all over it. The same material used for this dash panel has also been used for the glove box drawer, part of the interior center console, and some of the interior door trim. The glove box has a very faint sticky feeling at times; none of the other areas have shown any obvious signs of melting. This seems logical because none of these other areas receive direct heat and sunlight in the same way the upper dash panel does. This issue was first noticed on October 4, 2018; however, it has presumably been an issue for an extended period since the melting does not appear to have taken place due to a single event.
The passenger seat sensor for the air bags intermittenly turns the air bag on for an adult sitting in the seat. My wife weighs 93 # and should activate that sensor but does not do so consistently. Dealer claims it is set for 95 # but even when my wife holds an 8# weight in her hand and sits down it does not consistently activate. There are a lot of complaints on the internet about this problem going back to the predecessor vehicle to the Sonic, the aveo, but Chevrolet does nothing to solve or recognize this issue. Some of the complaints on the internet show a problem with this sensor for occupants considerably heavier than my wife. This occurs when the passenger initially sits down in the seat.

While traveling South on interstate 95 in the right lane in the area of mile marker 7 in South Carolina a piece of foreign debus was ran over by the car in from of me. The large piece of metal bounced of the road and hit the front bumper grill and air conditioning condenser ( 24 inch piece of metal it appeared to be something that would hold a semi track spare tire in place) the car I was behind didn't stop to ensure my safety however they did brake and continue on their journey. I pulled off as soon as I could get in a safe place and I have attached the images of the damage and the estimate to get the repairs done. My deductible is $1000. Please feel free to call or email for further information.
