Roof molding is coming unglued on both sides of the vehicle, possible that it may fly off while traveling on highway or streets.My Dads Santa Cruz was recalled for what is happening to my Sonic. I noticed this after going through a car wash and the dryer made it flop around.

The thermostat has gone out in this vehicle 4 times in the past 14 months. Luckily for me I had the vehicle repaired at a shop that offers a warranty on the thermostat. But I still have to pay out of pocket every single time for a rental car in order for this vehicle to get repaired. I now have to put it back into the shop for the 5th time in 14 months for the thermostat to be replaced yet again because it went out. I am not happy with this as I live in Alaska and it keeps going out in the winter months.

When starting our 2017 Chevrolet Sonic there is exhaust fumes that are very strong that even make it into the interior of the car. The exhaust when idling will have a loud rattle and will both accompany the exhaust fumes and at times when there isn't the strong exhaust fumes. We have also recently had to start turning the traction control off and watching to make sure it stays off because it will randomly activate on dry pavement and we will have to hold tight to the steering wheel or it will jerk the vehicle in a different direction and has almost caused car accidents on three separate occcasions.
