Overall and to the best of my knowledge, the malfunctioning and failures on my vehicle were the suspension and engine. They are the culprits and it-€™s honestly very scary and traumatizing to have them completely fail, especially since no one is ever prepared for accidents and/or potential death to happen. Otherwise it wouldn-€™t be called an accident. With the suspension overall, it-€™s just awful. CV Axel, control arms, everything with the suspension just failed. With driving over the tiniest bump on the road you feel your is about to literally fall apart at any minute because of the clunking and metal in metal noises it produces. The engine is faulty as well and I am pretty sure the faulty engine happens due to the faulty suspension. When I look under my car there-€™s something leaking. I don-€™t know what it is, but it-€™s poses a safety risk not only for the driver and the passengers, but also to the rest of the world. I know that there was a recall early on about fuel tank breakage or something that could lead to fire ignition. But my vehicle according to my VIN wasn-€™t on this recall. I have contacted the dealership and a certified service center to inspect these issues. It-€™s been roughly 4 weeks now and they have been extremely negligent and apathetic. With these issues, everyone-€™s safety is at risk. My suspension went out and could-€™ve caused a more catastrophic accident. A fire could-€™ve broken out with other vehicles surrounding me cause major injuries and death. I-€™ve seen and read many posts and testimonials and threads online from various independent resources that state very very closely the same issues. Almost verbatim. I-€™ve been trying to get these issues inspected by the dealership, but they all give me the runaround and don-€™t want to fix not find a solution. The check engine light has always been on since I-€™ve Owen the vehicle and the dealership where I purchased this vehicle said having the check engine light on is okay. I need help getting repairs done!

Sonic 4-cyl

  • 4,400 miles
The driver backed out onto the residential street. The drive aligned the wheels to point straight down the street. The driver shifted into drive and pressed pressed the accelerator. The car rapidly accelerated and swerved to the left. It grazed the bumper of a packed car and came to rest on a tree. Upon leaving the front left tire was deflated. The repair shop reported left suspension damage.
