CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2012 Chevrolet Sonic is fairly new & is already showing an early trend of transmission problems.

Owners report hesitation when shifting & grinding/hard shifting into gears. Some dealers are calling the condition "normal". Another owner reported his dealership replaced the transmission under warranty, but the new transmission had the same exact grinding problem. Design defect?

The paint is fading on the top of the car and on the trunk due to what I believe is a manufactures defect. When purchased, the car was in fair used condition. Still is, other than the paint issue. I've had to take it out of my rental fleet for the time being. The car was taken to the local dealership where they refused to do work on it. And I have had a good experience with this make and model.
