“When I turn left, the right side makes a popping noise around the ball joint. Reservoir coolant tank leaks, and no tempature guage.. There is no way to tell if my car over heats until the light comes on and I have to pull over then? I have never seen a vehicle not have a tempature guage!! Also my passenger seat belt will not stay fastened!”

This is very annoying can't use blue tooth phone because you cannot hear to have a conversation or hear the radio at a normal volume because it is so loud.

“My daughter was driving the chevy TRAX when the engine light came on. I scanned the car when she got home. Code was p0420 for low converter efficiency.

This is happening on many chevy TRAX and chevy cruz vehicles. I took it to the dealer and they will not cover the repair. She has owned it 4.5 years and has only 28,000 miles on it. …”

In september 2018 I took the vehicle to the original lot to have it inspected as when switching the fan for the A/C from 3 to 4 on the blower motor settings stopped working. My dealership replaced the original blower motor. Along with that I was having the issues of the center console (radio unit) and the dash (where the speed, mileage, etc... Is) would go out will driving or not turn on at all and the back up camera wouldn't turn on go. …”
