2012 Chevrolet Sonic Service and Repair Manual
Regular price
$29.99 USD
Unit price
This factory service and repair manual for the 2012 Chevrolet Sonic has three engines to keep straight, and they are not variations on one theme: a naturally aspirated 1.6L DOHC inline-four of 98 cubic inches, a 1.8L of 110 cubic inches set up for flex fuel, and a turbocharged 1.4L of 83 cubic inches. All three appear in a four-door sedan and a four-door hatchback across LS, LT and LTZ trims, so fuel, ignition and boost diagnostics have to be read against the engine actually fitted.
Engines covered
- 1.6L inline-four (98 cu in) — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
- 1.8L inline-four (110 cu in) — DOHC, naturally aspirated, flex-fuel
- 1.4L inline-four (83 cu in) — DOHC, turbocharged, gasoline
Body styles covered
- 4-door sedan
- 4-door hatchback
Trims covered
- LS
- LT
- LTZ
Known issues on the 2012 Sonic. Seven recalls are on the federal record. On cars with the 1.8L and a six-speed automatic, the transmission turbine shaft can fracture, capping the car in the lower gears or leaving it to coast with no drive at all. Some cars were built with a front brake pad missing, which cuts braking performance. A shorting bar in the driver's frontal air bag can intermittently touch the bag terminals, and while it does the bag will not deploy in a crash. Complaints total 354, heaviest on the power train at 150, then the electrical system at 45 and the engine at 27.
