First time window conrol failed, battery died same night, and I had to get serp. Car then began to overheat while in traffic. When I brought car in for airc, I was told I needed new rear brake pads and the radiator fan and compressor.
Plastic vents cracked outside therm fell off & plastic undercarriage cover ripped B4 aircond, followed by the fan.
Window control unit smokes and hisses when I turn on engine. A C stopped blowing cold air spring 2018, and within weeks, the window control failing again, I have had heat stroke twice. ac adapter stopped working again, and it was replaced. Then a few hours later, electric was on and off but power to vechicle stopped. One week later,, it started to smoke under the hood and the car was overheating. A few days after that, the battery died and I replaced it. In August 2017, car had engine misfire, which cost me repair on the fuel pump. I could not pass state inspection because my "check engine" light was on. I also have been shocked painfully when trying to get the ac adapter to work. When electric window control stopps working and hisses and smokes when engine is turned on. Whether vehicle was left inside garage or outside the issue is still the same, regardless of temperature.įirst issue was electrical issues (bad lights, unfunctioning controls, ac adapter would not give power, outside lightbulbs do not last, headlamp controls fell apart, mirror conrtrols fell off, vent controls fell apart. Now the check engine light is on as a notification and the issue continues after mutiple days of repeat failed attempts to start whether from actual key or wireless remote start attempts. He recommended taking car to the Chevy dealership and having them reprogram and inspect the remote starter connection/programming. Took the vehicle to local mechanic and he found nothing wrong however while the car was sitting idle with the key in the ignition and turned off with no human interaction, the car attempted to start itself 3 different occasions. Had car battery tested which that was not the issue. Also, on occasion after car does finally start, it immediately turns back off.
After another attempt or two the car did start. I bought this car 5 months ago for $4700.Īttempted to start vehicle with key in ignition and also using the factory installed wireless remote starter while car was stationary however the car would not start initially. I have taken it to many shops and no one knows what is wrong with it, and I'm not sure if I took it to actual crossroads Chevrolet if they could figure it out either. When I search my car for recalls there are none but there is a recall for the transmissions made two months after mine, which to me, because my car is having the same response, the manufacturing date shouldn't matter. Hearing this made me come to the realization that it cant be the transmission, but I know next to nothing when it comes to vehicles. Now after buying a used transmission and having the shop put it in, it is still not responding in reverse, which the part sold to me should have worked.
I am a city driver as well and have only added 2,000 miles in 5 months.
After that it stopped responding in reverse as well, unless I was to inch forward in drive only to shift back into reverse, which for a while worked. A month ago, my 2012 Chevrolet Sonic transmission started not shifting into second gear and severely shifting when persuaded.
