| 2012 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | I HAVE A 2012 CHEVY SONIC LT AUTOMATIC WITH THE 1.8 LITER. THE CAR STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS AROUND 45,000 MILES AND HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER TIME.THE CAR ON COLD START UPS HAS A GRINDING SOUND. THIS GRINDING MOST OF THE TIME ONLY HAPPENS ON COLD START UPS BUT DOES AT TIMES HAPPENS ON WARM START UPS. THIS SOUNDS LIKE METAL AGAINST METAL AND IT RATTLES. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN UNTIL THE CAR IS FULLY STARTED AND RUNNING. I AM GETTING CONCERNED BECAUSE IT IS GETTING WORSE AND LOUDER. *TR |
| 2012 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | I WENT TO GO SOME PLACE WHEN I NOTICED THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY WINDSHIELD CRACKED. THERE IS NO CHIP INDICATING THAT SOMETHING HAD HIT IT. THE CRACK SEEMS TO HAVE STARTED FROM THE EDGE OF THE WINDSHIELD. IT SEEMS THAT THE WINDSHIELD HAD TWISTED. THE CRACK IS APPROX 8 TO 12 INCHES AND CIRCLES INTO AN UP SIDE DOWN U. I BELIEVE GM SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE CHECKED TO SEE IF GM HAS A RECALL AND THEY DO NOT. *TR |
