The factory infotainment system does not consistently shut down after the ignition is turned off. I must follow a specific shutdown procedure or occasionally remove the infotainment fuse to prevent battery drain.  On October 10, 2026, after a three-day trip, the vehicle was completely dead. My 2,000-amp portable jump starter could not start it. Another running vehicle had to supply power before it would start.  The vehicle then operated and restarted normally for approximately three days.  On October 13, 2026, after several successful starts, I parked at 10 AM. By 4 PM, the vehicle produced rapid clicking sounds, then lost all electrical power. My jump starter again failed. Another person had to help push the car into the street and connect jumper cables to a running vehicle before it could start.  AutoZone testing initially showed battery failure, but subsequent tests passed. The alternator and starter reportedly passed. I purchased a replacement battery on October 13 for approximately $135. The vehicle started normally afterward, but the underlying infotainment malfunction remains unresolved.  GM Technical Service Bulletin 18-NA-048 documents unwanted radio activation and possible continuous parasitic battery drain in certain 2018 Chevrolet Sonic vehicles. The bulletin identifies a possible manufacturing-related cause. Whether this specific defect affects my vehicle has not been confirmed.  I am a disabled woman with chronic illness and limited mobility. Being unexpectedly stranded creates serious safety risks because I cannot necessarily walk for assistance or tolerate prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.  I request that NHTSA investigate whether this is a broader safety-related electrical defect and determine whether a manufacturer safety recall is warranted.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2018","productMake":"CHEVROLET","productModel":"SONIC","manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC"}]}]}
