Looks like an incomplete random collection of service manual pages with technical service bulletins mixed in, all in random order. This is nothing like what their site advertises.

I see that key engine, transmission, brake and suspension sections are extremely incomplete or completely missing.

Very disappointing.

I will dispute this with my credit card, and I will lodge a complaint with the various authorities, and I am going to show this to my attorneys, they are going to have fun with these goons.

The manual seems to be complete and was easy to download. The pages are images, however, and not searchable.

The download I received was a complete waste of my money. Was not even close to what it was represented as. I thought I was getting a proper service repair manual. What I got was a collection of service bulletins. I sent an email to your company right after I looked through it requesting my money back. Have yet to hear a response. Terry Muich

More detailed than I thought, still trying to navigate through it, not what I thought it would be, thought it would be more like the Haynes manual.

It was much larger than i expected. 5 documents at 12k pages each. Its not something ill actually be able read but its easy enough to find what you need..
The Ford F250 manual is much easier to navigate at just over 8000 pages.
If i spend the money for Adobe Acrobat Professional ill be able to break it down into manageable bits.
Both manuals area great value for the money.

Schematics were not high resolution making the markings and names difficult to read when zoomed in. Improvement is needed. Otherwise it is a good document.

I wasn’t sure why I needed this to be a PDF, but it was apparent once I got it. It includes what would be thousands of pages if it were in print. The links take you to wherever you need to go in the text.

I didn’t realize I would have a link in an email to click to get another email with another link to download.

This factory service and repair manual for the 2014 Chevrolet Sonic reaches five trims, LS, LT, LTZ, RS and ZMX, across a sedan and a hatchback body. The engine bay can hold any of three inline-fours: the 1.6L of 98 cubic inches and the 1.8L of 110 cubic inches running flex fuel or gasoline, both naturally aspirated and both DOHC, or the turbocharged 1.4L of 83 cubic inches. Torque values, clearances and diagnostic tables are given per engine, so the first step at the bench is confirming which one is in the car.

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 or gasoline
  • 1.4L inline-four (83 cu in) — DOHC, turbocharged, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 4-door sedan
  • 4-door hatchback

Trims covered

  • LS
  • LT

Known issues on the 2014 Sonic. Four recalls are recorded federally. A lost electrical connection in the steering column can limit the driver's frontal air bag to its first stage in a severe crash, so the bag inflates less than the impact calls for. Weak welds at the front fuel tank strap bracket can let the bracket separate and the tank leak. A supplied cord can expose bare wires and shock whoever handles it while plugged in, and a radio fault removes the chime warning of a key left in the ignition. Complaints number 149: 37 electrical, 20 power train, 19 air bags.
