Many failures

Chevrolet Sonic 2012  50000 miles
I bought a Sonic LTZ 2012 and it leaves a lot to be desired. It has already presented failures in the battery and thermostat. Even more, a terrible noise appeared coming from the suspension, as well as another one on the right side which is just as if something were boiling. I have also encountered problems with the gearbox. It is really frustrating.

Same. I hear some weird noises coming from suspension. But everytime I go to dealership they say its l ok. . . . I believe these guys are idiots.

There's a small square cap you can pop off beside the shifter. Then stick something in there to depress a button that will unlock the shifter. It's there so you can shift our of park in emergencies or maintenance

My Chevrolet sonic still overheats, even though I replaced the radiator, thermostat, engine coolant sensor, thermostat housing. It is still showing error code 89. Can it be that the heater core inside the motor needs to be replaced

2012 Chevy sonic

Chevrolet Sonic 2012 Manual  210549 miles
When idling it’s jerky and when I’m driving constant speed it’s jerking. I got the codes read at auto zone and it says that the I need new 02 sensors but the mechanic says I need new coils and spark plugs ? But when codes were read at auto zone it didn’t say I needed those just o2 sensors any suggestions ?

Oil leaking but I dont know where from

Chevrolet Sonic 2013 Hatchback 1.4t 173000 miles
Ive had oil leaking for like a year now. Last summer I hit a deer had the whole front end torn apart, the leak was happening before the deer, assumed it was coming from the valve cover gasket so I changed it. Im still having the same problem, it was insignificant at first, didnt even matter much between oil changes, but now im having to put oil in and its worrying me because I dont want to blow my motor. It coats half the front of my engine but its not obvious, you dont see anything leaking while idling, and ive put cardboard underneath overnight and dont get much drippings at all( im assuming the drips i do get are from the drive before i parked). Any insight? Something else I should check?

Many failures

Chevrolet Sonic 2012  57000 miles
We bought our Sonic 2012 ltz in 2011 and, since the first year of usage, we've been having problems with it. First, a joint was released and it makes it sound as if it were an old car. It then started failing when braking forward or backward and it ended up being the vacuum hose of the ABS brakes. This year, the stabilizer bar's screws have been replaced as well as the automatic transmission's oil lock. Last but not least, a week and a half ago, we suffered a collision from the front and the air bags were not activated. There is no way we can now feel secure when stepping on the car. If somebody has had similar problems, I would appreciate it if you let me know and if you know how I can solve this. Thank you for the comments.
