NHTSA Complaint #10567091 — 2012 CHEVROLET SONIC

EVERY COLD START THE IS A GRINDING AND RATTLE NOISE THAT COMES FROM THE TIMING SIDE. I TOOK IT TO CHEVY AND THEY SAID THAT CANT DO ANYTHING UNLESS THEY HEAR IT WHICH I THOUGHT WAS REASONABLE AND THE NEXT MORNING THEY CALLED AND STATED MY CAR HAS NO NOISE EVEN THO THIS HAPPENS EVERY COLD START. I ALSO HAVE A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE WHEN IT IS WARM OR HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR MORE THAN 20MINUTES THE DEALER SAYS ITS NORMAL BUT AT 21454 THE NOISE IS 3 TIMES LOUDER THAN EVER BEFORE. I HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CODE P0011 INTAKE CAMSHAFT POSITION TIMING -OVER-ADVANCED (BANK-1) WHICH I TOOK IN AND THEY FIXED IT 4DAYS LATER AND IT IS BACK SAME CODE I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID TO BRING IT IN I EXPLAINED I DON'T HAVE A RIDE TO WORK THEY SAID I HAVE TO FIGURE IT OUT BECAUSE I HAVE TO PAY THE DEPOSIT FOR A RENTAL I SHOULDN'T EVEN NEED. THE ENGINE ALSO SEEMS TO SPUTTER AND LOSE POWER RANDOMLY ALSO THE RPMS WILL GO UP TO 2500 SOMETIMES WHILE STOPPING I HAVE ALWAYS DRIVE. MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS I BELIEVE I WOULD KNOW WHEN I AM PUSHING THE GAS! CHEVY SEEMS LIKE THEY DON'T WANT TO TOUCH MY CAR UNTIL MY WARRANTY IS OUT I AM SO DISAPPOINTED BY THEIR ACTIONS AND THIS CAR SAD I GOT 4 OF MY FRIENDS TO BUY THEM TOO IN 2013 I JUST WANT CHEVY TO BUY BACK MY CAR OR FIX ALL OF IT! THIS IS MY FIRST AMERICAN 100% BRAND NEW CAR AND I FEEL LIKE IT IS THE BIGGEST MISTAKE I HAVE EVER MADE. THE WHOLE WE CANT JUST CANT LOOK AT IT UNLESS WE SEE OR HEAR IT IS KIND OF BS! *TR
