If you are driving in the rain and you have your high beams on the doors will unlock. The wipers will turn off, the RPM's race high accelerating the car into almost a spin if you do not counter correct the steering. The engine and radio shuts off at random times as well. Had a diagnostic check done, nothing wrong with the engine, electrical systems, battery or alternator. Was told it is a manufacturer is with the computer system, but NHTSA will not address the issue until someone get's killed, so General Motors will not fix it, until they are in probate court. As a leo this is unacceptable behavior, especially after our government just bailed them out again with our tax money.

My wife was driving on a straight road with cruise control set at 60 mph when she saw a deer in the road - she swerved and braked hitting the deer in the drivers headlight area above drivers front tire and both driver side doors. The air bag did not deploy and the seat belt did not lock in place and hold her in place.

Hello, the Chevy Sonic dash an information center is not working properly, there is no radio, no turn signal indicators, no seat belt indicator an dash gets really dim at times, all of these issues happened all at once. I tried calling my local Chevrolet dealer but they keep saying my VIN is not effected. But all the other makes of this model of that year is having the same recall issues. Please help !!!. I have small children an ever car ride is unpleasant an we dont feel safe.
