I bought my 2017 sonic in June 2017 and as of today July 2019 I've only had it 2 years first owner and I have been to back and forth to the dealer 4 times all less than 30 days or 20 days apart for the same problem engine light on and the car cuts off whenever I'm at a red light, stop sign or just sitting in traffic while in drive. It just went back to the dealer 07/3/2019 for the same issue and jerking while at a stop and they told me the diagnosis machine read no problem so they did nothing. Now it's 07/24/2019 and the freakin car has been jerking at every stop engine light back on and cut off on me and my baby st night while driving on the parkway. CHEVY SOLD ME A LEMON AND MY CAR HAS ON 14,668 MILES WITHIN THE 2 YEARS OF HAVING IT. ACTION IS GETTING READY TO BE TAKEN AGAINST THEM WITH THE LEMON LAW SUIT. I WILL NEVER INVEST IN ANYTHING CHEVYBIN MY LIFE AND I DON'T RECCOMEND ANYONE ELSE TO PURCHASE EITHER

We bought this car in Sept 2018. Had around 49,000 currently about 100,400 kilometres. At around 98,700 the “engine light” came on took it to get checked out was told O2 sensor and use “premium” fuel. Spent the extra .10-.18 per litre helped for a bit then again light back on around 99,200 km’s. In December changed oil. Again helped no light then on again. Took it in February 26th 2021 had O2 sensor replaced and told All was fine after paying $528 to also have spark plugs replaced (manufacture warranty says good for 156,000k). Told took it for a couple test drives no issues. Didn’t even get it home (less than 50 kilometre Drive) light back on, also back the RPM dropping, the car almost stalling, and the jerking at stop. So took it to another place had oil changed (still 67%) life, changed spark plugs as the “new” ones were covered in fuel and oil and told everything wreaked of gas under the hood. Had asked shop A to make sure no fuel in oil or worse engine was laughed at. Shop B repairs $400.99. I’m now replacing the purge solenoid valve on my own as part costs under $40 but would’ve been charged $200-$300 by a shop and may not actually replace the old parts. This car with the sensor issues is obviously a lemon as my version is no different from reading similar stories online especially around the 100,000k mark. Will be the last sedan I buy as clearly they are trash for commuting on highways daily. Also our 2008 Kia Rio has better fuel mileage. Definitely not happy anymore with this car and not happy as a Chevy owner
