Low ravs constant jerks on and off

Chevrolet Sonic 2015 Sedan 90000 miles
My vehicles give me problems when starting it on's and off with low raves. It has a jumping problem when I let go of the clutch. When I change down it gives a kick back and jerks as if it is to shut down.

Many failures

Chevrolet Sonic 2012  45000 miles
In 2011, I bought a Sonic 2012 who turned out to be absolutely faulty. The first problem was with the braking, which did not work or did whenever it wanted to. It was then found that some hoses that control the emptiness were damaged. Later, the ABS began making a terrible noise like the one of an old car. Finally, it started jerking because something in the transmission was failing, and even two times a little engine of the air conditioning gate broke down.

My vehicle loses power and stalls when driving. Even more, there is a constant jingle which cannot be repaired. Briefly, the performance leaves a lot to be desired.

The power loss, jingle and stalling has to do with the vehicle's coil, which are certainly really bad. Together with the coil, you need to repace the spark plugs which are really expensive, just like the coil. Still, take it to the mechanic and make him remove the coil and spark plugs and you will see that these last ones are burnt and that the coils are stained. Hope this information helps you.

Jerks at low speeds

Chevrolet Sonic 2012  60890 miles
I have a Sonic and these days I've been noticing it jerks when changing from 1st to 2nd gear. At the beginning, I thought it was my fault, that I was releasing the clutch brusquely. However, the Check Engine turned on and it started jerking every time I changed from 1st to 2nd gear. Has anyone had this problem before?

This problem happened to me and it was solved by changing the 4 spark plugs. When they were removed, I noticed they were burnt and the mechanic explained that, in the agency, they do not replace them, they simply clean them. He also informed me that if the Check Engine appeared, it was due to a coil failure, which is rather expensive.

Check your coil pack

Surging while at a stop

Chevrolet Sonic 2016 Hatchback 91650 miles
Engine surging, not revving, while stopped like rocking a clutch. Door locks pop up & down & lock when you kill ignition with the door still closed.

Rough ideling

Chevrolet Sonic 2016 1.6 LTZ Hatchback 65000 miles
RPM up and down if car is stoped and sometimes it goes off. If driving its ok but if u want to stop at traffic light suddenly RPM goes from low to high and the transmission will jerk to change gear unless u continue to press brake than it will not jerk. Also engine light on and ABS comes on and off if ur stopping at the light wether ur using break or not.

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 ?

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.
