Why is Your 2017 Sonic’s Transmission So Important?

The transmission delivers power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive on your terms.

It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. 2017 Chevrolet Sonic transmission problems could include shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking at any speed, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. Let Chevrolet Sonic transmission problems linger and you could see your fuel economy decrease or discover that your Sonic’s not even driveable.

2017 Chevrolet Sonic Transmission Q&A

  • What happens if I "ride" my Chevrolet's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Chevrolet Sonic? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Sonic’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • How often does my Sonic transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2017 Sonic’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Chevrolet. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can my Chevrolet Sonic leak transmission fluid? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Chevrolet Sonic, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
