Example complaints

“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!”
NHTSA complaint #11387384, filed 2021-01, 67,589 miles“When I get on highway doing faster speed my car is very loud inside like a bad air leak coming from back somewhere. 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. Had I known this I would have never bought this vechicle.”
NHTSA complaint #11281847, filed 2019-11, 22,600 miles“My 2016 TRAX slid into rear of a car who suddenly braked while we both travelled on highway. I broke too. Probably hit other car while I was going 25 MPH. Moderate front end damage. Engine stopped. But car caught on fire. Total loss of car”
NHTSA complaint #11353774, filed 2020-09, 32,000 miles“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. I put the car up on my car lift and found that the flex pipe behind the converter was separated most likely from rust. This is allowing exhaust gasses into the car and it is dangerous. 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.
