Good Ol' GM...
GM admits it maybe forgot to put brake pads on your Chevy Sonic
GM admits it maybe forgot to put brake pads on your Chevy Sonic
If you purchased a 2012 Chevy Sonic you might want to check and see if the car's brake pads are all there as GM now admits they may have shipped as many as 4,296 of them without them. Also, they're not notifying anyone until mid-January. Happy New Year!
GM is recalling approximately 4,300 of the Sonics sold in the United States because they fear the vehicles may be missing an inner or outer front brake pad. The cars are all from GM's Orion Township assembly in Michigan (the company has been touting the car's American-built bonafides).
Customers are going to start receiving letters from dealers "beginning January 14th" asking them to get their car inspected.
We wouldn't wait that long without checking. Sure, your Sonic will still stop if it's missing one brake pad. Call us crazy but we like having all our brakes.
Tax dollars hard at work...

You'd think people would have noticed the brakes not working properly even just driving the car out of the lot for a test drive. I know for sure I'd notice the sound of a bare caliper piston scraping on a rotor.

Those mechanics are ones that should have noticed and stopped each car from every leaving. And if they are worth anything. they should have noticed on the pre-delivery test drive and set up
98% of the drive public are sheep. What scares me is how this got past all the pdi mechanics. and all this signed off the check list before sale.

IMO - GM is the biggest **** stain corporation in a long time.
Should have been let to flop and made room for more innovative vehicle producers, perhaps we would have different looking cars instead of the same **** we've had for the last 30years.
