Odometer change and battery issues possible

Asked by GuruDZXNH6 Nov 29, 2023 at 02:52 PM about the 2014 Chevrolet Sonic LS Hatchback FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My husband's 2014 Chevy Sonic will shut off when the AC is on. Took to a
local mechanic and the body modular was changed, knocking out the
odometer from 170,000 to 1700. The car's locks keeping turning off and on
when stopped at a red light and in drive. If AC is on, the car will accelerate
and eventually shut off. Chevy won't look at it. Took to Firestone and they
couldn't find anything wrong with it. What should we do? Thanks.

Sounds like the BCM was not flashed with the current vehicles VIN, unfortunately the only place that can do the flash is a GM dealer. As your local dealer won't touch it your going to have to start searching for one that will. And so I wish you Good Luck.
