NHTSA Complaint #10609169 — 2012 CHEVROLET SONIC

THE SHIFTER MECHANISM GETS STUCK & THE CAR CANNOT BE PUT INTO DRIVE. THIS HAPPENS MANY TIMES-ESPECIALLY DURING THE COLDER MONTHS, WHEN THE CAR CANNOT BE SHIFTED INTO DRIVE & I AM LEFT STRANDED IN EXTREMELY COLD WEATHER. ADDITIONALLY, GM REFUSES TO ADMIT THE SHIFTER IS DEFECTIVE & REFUSES TO BUY THE CAR BACK, AS I AM JUST A STUDENT IN COLLEGE WORKING A PART-TIME JOB. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE I NEEDED A DEPENDABLE CAR TO GET ME BACK & FOURTH TO COLLEGE & MY PART-TIME JOB...BECAUSE OF THE CARS DEFECTS, I AM OFTEN LATE FOR SCHOOL & OR WORK. PLUS, MY SISTER ALSO HAS A CHEVY 2006 AVEO SHE WAS GIVEN, BUT THIS CAR ALSO HAS THE VERY SAME ISSUE'S WITH THE SHIFTER...THEREFORE, WHEN GM CEO [XXX] TESTIFIES BEFORE CONGRESS AND TELLS CONGRESS THAT GM IS NOT HIDING OR COVERING-UP ANY ADDITIONAL CAR PROBLEMS...SHE IS A LIAR & I AM STUCK WITH THIS PRETTY MUCH USELESS CAR, THAT GM HAS MY MONEY & I DON'T HAVE A DEPENDABLE CAR & I/WE ARE WILLING TO OFFER BOTH CARS SO THAT AN INDEPENDENT EXPERT MECHANIC CAN EVALUATE BOTH CARS TO PROVE THAT GM INDEED KNEW ABOUT THESE SHIFTER MECHANISM DEFECTS GOING BACK TO AT LEAST 2006 AVEO MODEL, BUT CONTINUED TO SELL THESE TIME-BOMBS TO THE YOUNG ADULTS OF THIS COUNTRY, WHO ARE SCRAPPING BY TO MAKE ENDS-MEAT & TRY TO GET AN EDUCATION...THEN WE BUY A CAR FROM AN ARROGANT, RUTHLESS, EVIL, LYING COMPANY & WE HAVE NOWHERE TO TURN...I TIRED AN NJ LEMON LAW ATTORNEY, BUT I DETERMINED THAT HE WAS ACTUALLY I BED WITH GM & THE OTHER GM ATTORNEY. I WANT GM TO TAKE THIS CAR BACK, AS I WOULDN'T SELL IT TO MY WORST ENEMY, AS THAT IS NOT THE RIGHT THING TO DO. I WANT GM TO STEP-UP TO THE PLATE & REFUND ALL MY MONEY SO THAT I CAN GO OUT & BUY A DEPENDABLE CAR FROM A REPUTABLE CAR COMPANY. MY DAD, [XXX] , IS ALSO HELPING ME WITH THIS MESS.
