My front windshield washing fluid quit yet the rear still worked, fluid level was good and with the hood up I pulled the lever back and fluid came out the bottom of the hood. When I removed the liner I fond mice had shredded the noise deadening material to build a condo, some how they had pulled...

Update: I installed the H6 AGM battery, 100 amps more for the same price. Had to add a 8mm Rivet Nut to the front most hole and extend the top battery bracket.

I have a 2017 Sonic Hatchback RS which means the factory battery is 6 or 7 years old. From the factory it appears to be an unknown brand, H5 group size, the battery holder appears to support both the H5 (9.9" length) and H6 (10.9 length) group batteries, there is 100ah (630 to 720) cranking...

I was at my winter house doing laundry when I decided to wash the pants I was wearing, needless to say my fob didn't survive. I lucked out as the doors were unlocked, placing the dead fob in the cup holder allowed me to start the car. I investigated the issues around 'key fob' after being quoted...

I was wondering what kind of mileage I'd get driving like a human (80~90 freeway I-84 normally, 32mpg) so I drove on ID-81 at 55 mph between Burley, Idaho and Malta, Idaho, mostly flat a few rolling hills: 46mpg To get this I started at Burley, reset the Average MPG to 0 and drove to Malta...

It is nice to read about <$2 gas, just filled up at $4.20 for non-ethanol @91 octane since mid-grade @93 octane is $4.30 - @86 octane with ethanol is $4.09 --

I have to drive on dirt roads and with the 2017 Sonic Hatchback I end up with piles of dirt all over the rear hatch. Does anyone know of a air deflector that keeps the hatch clean?

I live in an area where ranchers are losing 60~80% of their crops to hoppers this year, while cleaning the bug crap off my 2017 RS I noticed I couldn't see my radiator from the pile up of dead bugs and birds. It took 30 minutes with a power washer to finally get the bugs out of the enclosed area...

After hunting for tow hooks I found the pricing for the front and rear (every part seems to be over $200) of the 2017 Sonic LT/RS, I'm changing my car insurance to a low deductible plan. When I slid into a snow bank 2/3 of the lower grill was packed with snow, no means to dig it out but to set a...

I plowed my 1.5 mile drive way and drove to a appointment, 4 hours later I returned but the wind has drifted across the last 90 degree turn causing me to slide into a snow bank. I brought my tractor down with a tow chain and discovered there were no under body hooks in the front or rear. I...

Has anyone found a roof rack that doesn't damage your roof/door rubber when installed?

If the 2017 Sonic "Infotainment System" was on when the car was shutdown then when you start the car SiriusXM pops up loudly trolling for me to purchase a 'plan'. I tried setting the 'default' Maximum Startup Volume to 0 but it only allows you to set it to 13, not off, I found these setting in...

When I picked up my 'new' used 2017 on the way home I noticed something whipping around above me on the road shadow, I pulled over and found the clip had came loose allowing the trim to flap in the breeze. It had been that way for awhile since the channel was full of dirt, I removed the trim and...

Great link, after I had my oil changed I decided to always do it myself since they left oil all over the front of the engine... Loosen oil filter cap, drain oil, have lunch, remove cap and filter.

After I rolled my 2005 Aveo last year I started looking for a replacement, I liked the ease and cost of replacement parts so I stuck with Chevy. It seemed every car I came across in the classified ads were sold with in minutes of listing, I finally found a Sonic that was listed without pictures...
