Sometimes the check engine light stays on and sometimes it's not on at all. Car will go into power reduction at random even when on the highway, causing the car to lose ability to accelerate fast enough to not get hit. I cannot drive the car safely on the busy road I work on. No water intrusion was found by the mechanics.
New tires, new brakes, new windshield (replaced when I bought the car in case there was an internal leak. I have tried driving with traction control off, tc off and stabilitrack off. Not sure why the power reduction comes on.
Code 84 came on again today, took to the mechanic, they say everything is running fine with the diagnostic reading. Every day for the last 3 weeks after about a year ago having pedal assembly replaced. Turn car off, sit a minute, turn back on, check engine light and power reduction off. Stabilitrack light comes on and power reduction turns on. Driving in nice weather going under 45mph. Next week same thing, replaced pedal assembly again. Took it to midas, had the pedal assembly replaced and electrical wires greased.
It's difficult to accelerate and the "see mechanic" symbol on the dash. There have been recalls for problems such as these for this vehicle, but none of them are currently open.Ĭode 84 while driving on regular road at normal speed. It does not matter whether the car is stationary or in motion, the radio and all related sound components do not work at all. Additionally, the collision notification and lane recognition no longer produce an audible warning. The seat belt, door ajar, and key in ignition warning do not sound anymore either. Although they blink, I do not receive a notification that they are engaged (no blinking sound). For example, the blinkers do not signal properly. Now that the radio is completely nonoperational, other systems have been effected, too. On August 1, 2020, the radio will not turn on at all, even after restarting the car or reconnecting the battery. Yet again, the only solution was to restart the car or disconnect the battery. Other times the computer would never turn on. Sometimes I could drive ten or twenty minutes before the computer would finally turn on. In June 2020, the radio would randomly not boot when started or boot even more slowly than usual. This first occurred in may 2020 and would occur periodically over the next several months. Then, a problem developed where after I turned the car off and locked the doors, the radio would continue playing until the vehicle was restarted or the battery was disconnected. Only occasionally would the guiding lines appear on the screen. Then once booted, the back-up camera lines would not show up. In March, 2020 I noticed that when I would turn the car on the radio/computer would sometimes take several minutes to boot up. Initially, I believed that the computer was just slow. It has only has 30,000 miles on it and has been well maintained. I bought a 2016 chevy Sonic lt in January of 2020. Also car was previously serviced because key was stuck in ignition. Car has fairly low mileage �54k miles� and has been properly maintained. He drained transmission fluid and found metallic bits, and says transmission would likely need replacing. He had to wait approx 20 minutes for car to move again. Mechanic added fluid and went for ride on suburban back road, car lost power after 10 minutes. At mechanic, computer codes indicated low/no transmission fluid (even though fluid was added at oil change only three weeks prior). Less than an hour later, the problem happened again and car was towed.
Waited 25 minutes for tow, but when tow driver came, car was able to start and move. When traffic started moving, car continued to slow to complete stop in the street despite stepping on gas. Three weeks later on city street, slowing for traffic when car lost power. Thought I smelled something burning, had radiator checked, oil changed, fluids added at beginning of October. I don't speed, but car struggled to go above 70 mph. Car was also losing power when highway driving (up to 70 mph). Radio would turn on and off when car was off and drained newly replaced battery. First problem started when radio remained on after key removed from ignition.
