General Motors is recalling 4,296 Chevrolet Sonic subcompact models to inspect for missing brake pads.
The missing part could lengthen the stopping distance, potentially contributing to a crash, the company said today in a statement.

:hmmm:.......GEEEE.....ya think???

how the hell does it take a recall for you to realize that you don't have any brake pads. the sound of the caliper digging into the rotor has got to be quite loud.

How does the car even make it past the brake pad install station on the assembly line?

Depends on what country they are being built in!


The missing brake pads--part of a subassembly of components--fell off before the cars were assembled and had remained unnoticed at the bottom of containers being shipped to the Orion Township, Mich., factory, said GM spokesman Alan Adler.

"This has been fixed by adding a clip to the shipping containers," he added.

Delphi Automotive's subsidiary in South Korea provides GM with the brake assembly for the Sonic.

It's a Chevy, it's supposed to rattle and make noises, as well as have parts fall off of it.

True no one noticed it because of the noise chevys make. Could have been mandatory break for union employees. Ok we missed a few so what.

Nice to see the abysmal Aveo is being matched by the Sonic.
