Sonic LS 1.8L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 100,000 miles

I worked an 8 hour shift at my client's home. When I came out to the driveway to get in my car, it was blaring a radio station that I wasn't even on. The car was off and locked. I blew it off as just a one time thing. The next evening I parked it in my driveway and locked the car with key fob. @When I came out to start the car the next morning, low and behold the radio blaring again!! This continued for a few days before I just pulled the fuse to it out of the fuse box located left and down from the steering wheel. I have been without a radio for three years. They want $1,000 to put a new one in it. I have spent thousands and thousands of dollars already on this piece of junk. Just when I was going to unload it, the pandemic hit. I can't afford to buy a new "used" car now and I can't afford to keep fixing the million things that keep failing on this unreliable garbage.
