It was a foggy night I had just got off work I started my car like any other normal day/night except this night I used my rear defrost I proceed to leave my job as I been to get off the on ramp to the highway my entire back glass explodes and bust out causing glass to shatter everywhere and leaving me without a rear window and costly repairs. I'm not sure if there is a recall on this but there definitely should be as this can cost many people thousands of dollars if everytime the rear defrost is cut on there a possibility my window could bust and I get covered with glass

After purchasing my chevy sonic 2012, I went to get my first oil change 3 months later. And the engine light came on. I have gone back multiple times, and have been told that it was the gas cap which by the way had a recall on it. The light came back on a week later. Took it back they said that the one they replaced it with had a bad seal. They ordered the part replaced the cap. Drove for another two weeks and the engine light came back on. Took it back, this time they told me that the car needed a thermostat replacement done the light came back on again. Took it back this time, I was told that it was a air vent tube that was connected to the engine, which by the way is not covered under my power train, did that and yet again the light is back on. Now my radio goes on and off when it wants to. When I get up to go to work my battery is dead. They have also replaced the drivers air bag for some sort of recall. The windshield wipers was replaced as it also had a recall. I really want to trade this car in I am literary scared to drive it. Scared driver...........

First of all the windshield wiper line keeps popping of my car not allowing me to use my windshield wiper fluid so the tank is always empty. Second while driving my car radio flickers on and off and sometimes completely goes black not only that my car speedometer is electrical and after 30 min of driving says im going 20/34/whatever MPH it wants to read when im really going the hwy speed limit and I have often had to mess with the wires that run to my battery to turn my car back on since its the wires(electrical work and not the battery) my battery has been tested many times. Finally third the little shift button on my car keeps sticking and wont allow for my car to properly shift causing my car to over rev and not want to drive. Im now at 115,000 miles and every time I go to a dealership they say there is nothing wrong with my car when I know there is since I have been the one driving it and then they just give it back to me which still costs me money with no solution my cars state has just been getting worse and worse and due to limited income I cant afford to get a new one at this time otherwise I would have already traded this chevy pos in. I also called chevrolet's corporate office where the lady gave me a case number and never called me back like she was supposed to. While on the phone with her she told me that there was nothing she could do for my car since my car wasn't a recall but I find it odd that my car was made on february 28, 2012 which falls between two major recalls with problems similar to what my car has especially since one is the windshield wiper recall. So I believe that the chevy corporation as a whole doesn't want to take responsibility for their faulty car that they have made and when you take it to a chevy dealership they will continue to tell you nothing is wrong so that they just take your money and not fix your car. Unsafe&immoral.

As I was making a left turn in an intersection at 5:30am my rear glass window burst and all the glass shattered leaving glass on the four sides only. Inexplicable how it happened, my first reaction was too look back and see if anybody had hit us, but when I looked through the rear/side mirrors there was no cars behind us or near us. The same morning I called the dealership and they towed my vehicle to the shop for a transmission recall, per the dealer they would not cover it under the warranty due to general motors had no other vehicles reporting the same incident. I feel it should be looked at because I'm sure many 2012 chevy sonics have it as a defect. With so many recalls I wouldn't doubt that the windows are being recalled as well.
