I have a 2013 sedan 1.8 gas sonic. Lately its's developed a sporadic, but regular miss at idle. I have replaced the plugs, the coil ignition springs and boots. I cleaned the throttle body thoroughly with the MAF sensor. I changed the MAP sensor, and threw in a new battery just for good measure. STILL MISSING! I replaced the timing belt at 90K just to be on the safe side. This is my Baby and its like she's dying of some unknown cancer. Something tells me St. Judes would laugh at me if I tried them. And the dealer would probably spend hours racking up a bill that will ultimately be a fortune for a trivial part. (yes it happened when I tried to get the advertised mileage from them, and it turned out to be a hole in the intake tube that was on a recall but only if you complained loud enough) Is there any chance for me to resurrect my vehicle from the ominous death it's hurtling towards?

Hello Chevy CC,

I have a 2013 Sonic Lt Hatch 1.8L that I've change the fuel pump, valve cover, purge vale, and ignition coil. Dealer wont give me straight answer, telling me they have to keep diagnosing.

I am getting a P0304. There is still def a misfire with check engine light on.
Could it be I purchased a bad ignition coil? what could be causing this?

This car did not make it thru the life of the loan! This is not good. at 101,000 GM should at least diagnose this for free instead of me paying $150 a third time!

Please help.

I read a post where you said the downpipe is the same for the Cruze and the Sonic. I am looking to buy a used one so I wanted to see if you stick by that statement or maybe possibly you have a link to that info. If they are the same I can look for Sonic owners as sellers also. Thanks.

My mechanic had to replace my valve cover and PCV valve with vent hose assembly after 3 trouble codes appeared. I could not drive my car to the nearest dealership due to the condition it was in. The nearest dealership is quite far and requires driving onto a state highway to get there. I have 76,834 mi. and I was wondering if this service is covered under the powertrain warranty. I've asked a similar question in the past, but you never replied.

Hey, I just saw where you mentioned 3D printing some stuff for your car. Ever get around to that? If so, what'd you end up doing?

Hello. Can you please help me? I own a 2016 Chevrolet Sonic, and the car is making a popping/clunking sound when going over bumps or a bumpy road. I don't notice it during turns, just driving. Similar to this thread: http://www.sonicownersforum.com/forum/handling-braking-suspension-discussion/19721-clunking-popping-noises-coming-front-drivers-side.html

My closest dealership is Capitol Chevrolet on Capitol Expressway in San Jose.

I own an extended warranty. My VIN is 1G1JC6SH3G4138080.
Can you please verify that there will be no charge, since I own an extended warranty?

Thank you,
Mark Albiar

Maliki2, So I am searching thru the posts on this site and i noticed you had put new struts on you car a couple years ago. I noticed you have an LTZ. I have an LT. I am coming up with 2 different strut numbers one is the number you have and i was just wondering what size tire do you have?
Thanks in advance,
Buck

Hey man im stuck trying to find a header for my 1.8, i came across you saying that you can get one from the UK. Do you know who i should talk to and what to order? I cant find anything because BNR has no plans to restock so this would be super helpful. Thank you for your time.

I'm going to try to get it done under warranty but I suspect my dealer will give me a hard time, because of how much labor is required.

any idea if this is still being repaired? my mileage is past the warranty period.

Hello,

I had a 2013 LTZ 1.4 5DR for 4 years and I loved the car. I decided it was time to pick out a new one and bought a 2018 LT 1.4 5DR. I have 1 issue that is driving me nuts with this new car. I used a thumb drive in the 2013 for 4 years without issues. I have a lot of music on this 8GB drive. When I put it in the 2018, you can see the playlists, albums, songs, but none of them will play. The dealer did a update to the radio, but it didn't solve the problem. At this point I am very frustrated and completely dissatisfied with this issue. The dealer is bending over backwards to try and help, but they can't get any answers from techline. The thumb drive works in any other 2018 product Chevrolet has. It also works in a 2017 Sonic with the same equipment. The radio did change for 2018. Why am I having this issue and is there a fix?

Hello

I have a 2012 Sonic LTZ hatch 6 speed manual with about 48k but just a few months out of factory power-train warranty, now I am experiencing what apparently is a common issue with the transmission output shaft bearing making a whine noise. The transmission was apparently redesigned for 2013 + vehicles.

I really like the little Sonic but this is a big problem. Can GM help with what appears to be a defect in the transmission? I'm in zip code 97007.
