NHTSA complaint #11377554, filed 2020-12, 91,068 miles“No brakes when driving home from work. Pedal pressed all the way to the floor. Pumping brakes made no difference. Thankfully was on a less traveled country road and was able to limp the vehicle home using parking brake. Brake fluid level checked fine and there was no brake fluid leaking around any wheel or under car so it was not a broken brake line or seal. Vehicle towed to dealership. Dealership determined brake vacuum switch was bad and replaced. Claimed this was not a *warranty* covered part and was normal wear and tear.”

NHTSA complaint #11659145, filed 2025-05“The brakes were noticeably squeezing at less than 4000 miles. I'm not sure for how long because I do play loud music, although I had noticed that stopping was requiring more pressure, I thought it was justvmyvimagination. Then I heard the squeezing over my radio. I asked my boyfriend to drive the 2015 TRAX and he said I needed new brakes and refused to drive it again. I took it to an authorized chevy dealer and was charged 25.oo for an inspection because they claimed the short distance they drove could not reproduce the sound, no defects found. …”
