Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Sonic owners report experiencing a lack of heat in their vehicles due to low coolant levels caused by a failed water pump. This issue often arises when the coolant level drops, preventing sufficient flow to the heater core, which is necessary for generating cabin heat. Additionally, a failed water pump can lead to coolant leaks, disrupting the circulation needed for proper heating. It is crucial for owners to promptly address both the coolant level and the functionality of the water pump to restore effective heating in their Chevrolet Sonic.
