2016 Chevy Sonic Touch Screen Not Responding - Help Needed!

Right? Nothing worse than forgetting a connection and having to go back and fix it later!

Yeah, finding a trusted mechanic will be key if all else fails. Have you tried checking forums specific to Sonic repairs? Lots of great advice there!

I’ve had the same issue with my touch screen not responding! I took it to the dealership, and they charged me around $200 for a software update. It didn’t fix the problem completely, but it helped a little.

That’s frustrating! I would recommend checking with independent shops too. Sometimes they offer better prices than dealerships. Has anyone tried that?

I went to an independent repair shop, and they were amazing! They charged me only $100 and had the issue fixed within a couple of hours. Definitely worth exploring that route!

That sounds like a great experience! What did they do to fix it? I’m considering that option now.

They re-calibrated the touch screen and updated the software. Honestly, I was impressed with their customer service. It’s always nice to feel valued as a customer!

My experience at the dealership was the opposite. They were rude and didn’t really help, plus I spent way more than expected. I wouldn’t recommend them for this issue.

Yikes! That sounds terrible. Sometimes you just get lucky, I guess. Anyone have success stories with warranties covering these repairs?

I was able to get mine fixed under warranty, but it took weeks to get an appointment. The wait was the most annoying part! Definitely make sure to talk to your dealership about that.

You make a good point! I wonder how many people know that they could still be covered if it’s within the warranty period.

I didn’t know that! I thought warranties didn’t cover electronics. So, do I need to ask specifically about this issue at the dealership?

Yes, definitely ask them about it! Just don’t forget to be polite. You catch more flies with honey than vinegar! Also, I hope your screen starts responding soon; it’s a headache!
