“I bought a 2016 chevy Sonic lt in january of 2020. It has only has 30,000 miles on it and has been well maintained. Initially, I believed that the computer was just slow. In march, 2020 I noticed that when I would turn the car on the radio/computer would sometimes take several minutes to boot up. Then once booted, the back-up camera lines would not show up. Only occasionally would the guiding lines appear on the screen. …”
