2012 Chevrolet Sonic 4dr Hatch
turbocharged 138hp 1.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD
| 42000 mi | Hose to the rear window washer came off a fitting, soaking the headliner. This was supposedly taken care of during a recall, but they didn't bother to secure this fitting. |
| 1000 mi | poorly fitting passenger side rear door panel replaced |
| 26000 mi | Trim ring on and around the gear shift knob was coming loose. It was replaced and all is well. |
2012 Chevrolet Sonic 4dr Hatch
138-horsepower 1.8L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
| 65000 mi US $75 |
Shift knob broke. Vehicle not able to shift out of park with out shift release mechanism. |
| 12300 mi | Small plastic insert from lower passenger chrome window trim not properly installed. It stuck out just enough to 'hit' front of the rear door & the trim is a little loose. Dealer pushed this in fully; but the trim is still a little loose. |
| 6000 mi | A few buzzes and rattle noises in a few spots but sensitive to temperature. Dealer could not duplicate at this time. |
| 13500 mi | Driver window rattles intermittently. Rubber frame trim replaced. Rattles a bit less, but problem not solved. |
| 16000 mi | Still have a rattle noise. Service manager said they could remove interior panels and try to pinpoint the exact cause but due to the extensive use of hard plastic, fixing one thing can cause other noise issues. Fix or not. Haven't decided. |
