I was driving at night and it was warm outside.....so bugs caked onto the windshield. When the bugs caked onto the windshield I tried to use my windshield cleaner and nothing would come out and I ended up smearing the bugs. I absolutely could not see....so I made it to the nearest gas station and checked the reservoir to find it empty. I went into the gas station and bought a cheap bottle of clean and put it into the reservoir, and as soon as I put it in a puddle drained from underneath the car. I found that the reservoir could not hold the liquid and I figured that a hose must be loose.
2012 Chevrolet Sonic visibility complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 16 of 16, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I went to go some place when I noticed the passenger side of my windshield cracked. There is no chip indicating that something had hit it. The crack seems to have started from the edge of the windshield. It seems that the windshield had twisted. The crack is approx 8 to 12 inches and circles into an up side down u. I believe gm should look into this problem. I have checked to see if gm has a recall and they do not.
The outside door mirrors are small and have blind spots. I've lost sight of vehicles I know where behind me. When gm became aware of this overlook in design of the 2012 chevy sonic, 2013 models were installed with the same size mirror with a small convex as part of the mirror to detect areas previous mirrors could not detect. This is a safety issue and I feel there should be a recall by gm to replace these mirrors.

I turned on windshield wipers & the engine died. This was the first time it had rained after I bought the car & really did not at this time associate the wipers & the engine dying until later that same day when contacted a friend of mine to drive the car. The dealer contacted gm about the problem but they don't seem to be very concerned about the problem. The dealer replaced the wiper motor but that did not solve the problem. It is a long story & I'm very concerned for the safety of myself & others. It died the other day in traffic when it started to rain & I turned on the wipers and almost was hit by a truck. Please contact me, it would be easier for him to explain in person about the problem.
