So here is my dilemma with my 2015 6 speed sonic turbo 29k miles. Has had zero issues since buying it used in 2020 with 24k miles on it. About a month ago wife was driving it and said the dash lights started glitching and the car died - pushed off the road and would not start again. When I got there I was thinking maybe the battery since it was the original and very hot that day so I replaced it with a new one with no luck. Battery seemed fine and tested fine at advanced auto. Towed to a local shop and got a call 3 days later on Monday that the car appeared to be fine and they test drove it with no issues. I thought....hmmm...well maybe the new battery did fix it......about 25 miles later it did the exact same thing. Called the shop and they picked it back up and have had it for about 4 weeks now. Owner said he believes it to be the Fuse box and has ordered another one and am waiting on him to install and let me know. Was hoping that someone might have had this issue and can advise on what they found. Seems to lose power to the engine while battery power is good to lights etc.....has new diehard battery......alternator ruled out....will not crank.....or even a click when key turned......sat for 3 days on the lot and it started right up and ran for a short time before doing the same thing again......Not sure what I am going to do if the fuse box does not do the trick.
2015 Sonic died while driving and intermittent won't start - multiple times.
