    P0597 - Thermostat Housing Replacement

    For over a year I've had an "Intermittent" P0597 Code - 43K miles Only issue "when" code was lit is that car would NOT remote start. Always being a tad leary of Dealers, I figured I'd attempt once again to solve the issue myself. Bought the "Delco" Housing & Tube/Hose (that is supposed to...

    Intermittent P0597

    For over a year now I’ve gotten an intermittent P0597 Code. Comes and goes. I can “clear” it and after a few days it returns. I can leave it alone and after a few days it goes away. 2013 Sonic LT with 42K miles. Coming around to inspection time and once again I face the dilemma of “fix it...

    TPMS Oddity

    Yesterday, driving to work, the TPMS light came on within 2 blocks of my destination. Continued to work, hopped out and checked the tire pressures. Most were 31, one was 29. Being that it was the first cool morning we’ve had in the burgh, I figured it must have been the 29 tire. Later in the day...

    Slight "Klump" Front Right

    Need help locating the source of a slight “klumpity Klump” sound that appears to be coming from the Front Right. 2013 LT Hatchback 16” Stock wheels & tires - 20K miles – Ride & steering response feels normal. Klumps seem way more noticeable at low speeds. Surely appears if you travel on a...

    $15 Sound Improvement

    Cymbals sizzle, vocals are clearer and stereo separation is much more noticeable. I had an old pair of Radio Shack Tweeters lying around… Finally took some time to tap them into the front speakers (Parallel) – They are only Piezo’s and yes piezo’s “can be harsh” at times, but like it really...

    Stubby Antenna

    Anyone try one of those “Stubby Antennas” yet? I’m looking to buy one, not for "the looks" but because I get a slight “Thawak” as we enter & exit the garage in my Encore (looks to be the same as my Sonic's). Not overly bad for it just hits the trim molding of the door frame. I’m just...

    Momentary Rough Idle on Start-Up

    Happens most every time, only lasts 5 seconds, does not come up again until the next overnight start. Runs fine thought the rest of the day. Car sits out every night, 1.8L about 1500 miles on it now. Not overly concerned, just asking if “Normal” ?????

    Foot Well Lights

    Greetings fellow Sonic Owners – I picked up my Sonic less than a week ago. First thing I did - was to install an Elbow Pad on the Driver’s Side Door for my elbow. – Darn hard plastic and old elbows. 2nd - I Painted the Front Calipers Black to match the Rear Drums (thinking Red would be just...
