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?

Manifold cracked after first air filter cleaning. I was quoted a 400.00 fix at dealership. Decided to duct tape. Has worked ok up until now. Check engine light is on and give the code about the faulty manifold again. I guess it's time for more duct tape. Waiting for a recall by some miracle from the Good Lord above who sees all us Chevy sonic owners are going through.
