the valve cover and coil pack went bad on my 2014 sonic and my mechanic said that neither were covered under my warranty. My mechanic said that the valve cover problem is a known problem according to GM. The car had just over 50,000 miles on it when it was repaired. Was my mechanic correct that these items could not be covered under warranty? VIN 1G1JF5SBXE4139897

I saw in your signature that you have RS steering on your Sonic. Is this a software flash?
I have a 2017 LT.

I'm currently running the Trifecta tune. I have not data logged the car at all though. I will be switching over to the BNR tune after I swap out for larger injectors. I've heard great things about that tune.

I have no idea how much the HP gain is with the downpipe. The biggest difference is that the turbo spools faster and the noise is glorious. I have not dyno'd it.

Hey lo I'm in cali I read that you have a catless down pipe what tune are you running with it I have yet to have a smog check yet I'm surprised since I have a 2013 RS figure they get me by now but I'm sure next time they will how much Hp gain did you get by removing the cats with tune have you dyno your ride ? I am running the turbo advantage tune it's pretty dang good over stock I won't even drive the car in stock mode anymore to disappointing ....

Shipping to port Perry would be $50

Hell Dave, I saw you had a coolant leak issue awhile back. Im having one currently. How did you figure out it was the thermostat housing?

Hello I have a 2013 sonic my turbo just went out. I took it to the dealership they are replacing to turbo under warranty. What is bothering me is they said the oil supply line had over heated and stopped up with oil which keyed the turbo from getting oil. I asked them how to keep that from happening, they said change the oil every 3000miles instead of 5000miles. That's not a very good answer to me, I'm worried that this will happen again.

I have a 2017 Chevy Sonic. Today the radio stayed locked onto a phone call that was never made. Later in the day the door locks kept locking and unlocking, lights keep going on and off. Door locks would also act like they were cycling to lock and unlock. Only 1600 miles on the car and the problems seem to be getting worse. Is there a known issue?

Is the intake still available?

Hey how did you do your taillights? That's kind of what I was wanting to do with my 2016, but red instead of white

Hello

I was contacted regarding broken seat heater on my 2012 Sonic LTZ. I understand from reading on-line that its not an uncommon problem. My vehicle is not under warranty anymore, but its not even 40k miles yet. We love the car, but my wife does love heaters and this is causing some angst with her.

If you have a plan to correct this problem, please let me know.

Also, the ignition seems iffy as the "key in alarm" when you go get out doesn't work, but it does work if I wiggle the key. Athough it wasn't subject of recall on my car as I understand it, the GM ignition problems make me wonder if the car is safe to drive and if the ignition mechanism is failing.

Thanks,

Hi there. I have an exhaust leak before my cat and was quoted $600 to repair from my local dealer. It's a 2013 with 61k miles on it. I read this quote from you on a thread and believe my repair would be covered...

"Under normal circumstances the following should be covered under the Emissions and Powertrain Warranties. ....

Federal Emissions Warranty:

•.........
• Catalytic converter system.
• Sealing devices and mounting hardware.
• Exhaust system up to the catalytic converter.
• .........
• Emission related hoses, clamps, belts, pulleys, tubes, fittings and wiring harness used on the above components
..........(continuted) "

I bought a 2012 Sonic LT, and can connect my phone via Bluetooth with no issue, but cannot find an option for music streaming. Are there different versions of the same radio?

Good morning and Happy New Year!

Hello my name is Greg and I was wondering if you had any holiday specials or military discount on your intake. I'm a retired Air Force colonel and this is a gift for my son. He has a Sonis RS. Thanks. Mayo

Is your ZZP Catback still available?

Never had a problem...
