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?

problem #1

Apr 052012

Sonic Hatchback 1.8L 4 cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 186 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

DEALER ORIGINALLY SAID GM WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM IN ONE WEEK OR THEY WOULD GIVE US ANOTHER CAR OR OUR MONEY BACK. 10 DAYS LATER, NO FIX AND ANOTHER CAR REQUIRES US TO TRADE-IN THE ONE WE HAVE. MONEY BACK WAS REALLY NOT AN OPTION. I WOULD BE HAPPY WITH A FIX.
