Boa tarde, eu tenho onix plus 1.0 turbo 2022/23 comprei em dezembro 2023, o carro é muito bom em consumo, conforto e manutenção. Porém tive problemas com 15.000 km atuador da embreagem e barulho na suspensão resolvido problemas não tive mais problemas com 190.000 km troquei a Correia dentada pela inspeção delo progra da GM mais aí depois ter feito isso o carro apresentou um problema pior o terceiro cilindro do motor perdeu pressão e o pistão foi pro saco mais pra isso a GM não dar garantia e tem ocorrido com frequência.
Então atenção aos proprietários de Onix !
Estão jogando a culpa no combustível principalmente no álcool mais os motores 4 cilindros não acontece só nos três cilindros!!!!!!
Barulho na suspensão tbem pode ocorrer de uma economia da GM, por sorte encontrei um ex funcionário da GM que abriu sua própria empresa, ele me trocou dois amortecedores e colocou uma borracha entre à mola e o amortecedor, não vem mais de fábrica e com o tempo ocorre barulhos na suspensão.
Espero não ficar tanto tempo com o carro, espero vendê-lo antes dos 100 mil km, não gosto da trepidação do motor três cilindros
