I thought i was the only one who thought this. I’ve spent more money fixing the car than buying it but i don’t know any other reliable cars!

On the sonics, the engine fan is tied into the a/c system. I also changed the fan, multiple sensors, fuses only to find out the a/c refrigerant was low not allowing the compressor to engage. Added some 134a and ta da everything works fine. After a month it did it all again. I found out then the Schroeder value on the low pressure port was slow leaking. Fixed and no issues since.

Acceleration jerking/ power bog?

Chevrolet Sonic 2013 Sedan LT 140000 miles
Anyone have issues with their sonic jerking around 140000miles? Every time I press the gas to get up to speed it feels like there is little to no power to get up to speed and jerks, no codes or dash warnings are coming up. I'm at a loss. I've already replaced the cooling fan, thermostat, coolant hoses, timing belt, and other odds and ends.
