I have a tough question for someone. I have a 2017 Sonic Turbo. Two years ago, when the car was at 30,000 miles, my turbo went out. Cost was around $3,000 for repair. Capital Chevrolet in Austin, TX install an OEM turbo replacement, part number 25201063.
Fast forward to March 2024, GM puts out a service bulletin flagging the turbo in 2017/2018 Sonics. The letter says I will be reimbursed for the repairs.
Capital Chevrolet has been unable to tell me whether the turbo replacement is a new, improved turbo model. Since my replacement turbo was installed a year before GM issued the service advisory, my concern is whether an identical turbo model was installed that might have the same issues as the original one.
Any thoughts or ideas?
Thanks very much!
Ron
