★ Top Answer
Code 52 on the Chevy Sonic indicates that it's time to change the timing belt, which should run you around $75. If you hire a mechanic to handle the replacement, it can cost an additional $50 to $70. While you can postpone replacing the belt briefly, it's not recommended to push it. Should the belt fail while driving, you'll need a tow that could be expensive.

I received maintenance code 52 indicating that it's time to replace my timing belt, usually recommended every 100,000 miles. Ignoring the notification will eventually turn it off at 108,000 miles. My Sonic currently has 210,000 miles, and I have yet to replace the timing belt. Surprisingly, my engine has not suffered any failures due to this oversight. While others may not have the same experience with their Sonics, I am considering replacing the timing belt once my car reaches 250,000 miles, as it is still performing strongly.
