problem #3

Oct 022012

Sonic LT 1.4L Turbo

  • Manual transmission
  • 450 miles

I PICKED THE CAR UP AND NOTICED THAT THE SEAT WAS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. I FIGURED THEY WOULD BREAK IN AND THEY WOULD BE OK.....BUT THE SEAT CUSHION IS COMPRESSING AND I AM HITTING THE PLASTIC ON THE SIDE OF THE SEATS. I AM 5'9" 230LBS. I HAVE RESORTED TO SITTING ON A PILLOW. HAVE NOT BEEN TO THE DEALER YET I WILL GIVE IT ANOTHER WEEK.

problem #2

Oct 022012

Sonic LT 1.4L Turbo

  • Manual transmission
  • 540 miles

THE SEATS WERE UNCOMFORTABLE IN THE FIRST 8 HOURS OF DRIVING THE CAR. I FIGURED THEY WOULD BE BETTER WHEN THE BROKE IN. I DO NOT THINK THAT IS GOING TO GET BETTER WITH BREAK IN. THEN I NOTICED THAT THE SEAT IS VERY NARROW. I AM 5'9" 230LBS. I COMPRESS THE CUSHIONS TO THE POINT THAT I AM SITTING ON THE PLASTIC. IT IS VERY PAINFUL. I AM NOW SITTING ON A BED PILLOW. I AM GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THEY CAN GIVE ME SOME HELP.

problem #1

Sonic LS 1.8L Ecotec

  • Automatic transmission
  • 54 miles

I am on disability,I am not a large woman,but 5ft6 and I am scrunched in this vehicle. my physical therapist said take the car back seeing me getting out in pain.But Al Serra doesn't care, its a car sale.There is no return unless a dealership has some real customer service and that's gone since the 70's.

Plus disability rights really there, and none unless I'm on a feeding tube.
