2016 Chevrolet Trax Steering Problems

“Steering wheel stiffened up while driving making it impossible to turn. Shut the car off and restarted. Wheel will turn but now there's clicking noises in the steering column when turning. Same week the anti theft alarm went off and no one was near the car. Also said I didn't have the correct key, which I did as I was able to start the car with it. Radio sometimes takes longer than normal to turn on... Seems to be a lot of electrical issues.”

“One morning when going to start the vehicle, the power steering would not work and the power steering indicator light would remain on. The vehicle was parked in my driveway. After a couple of hours, I would start the vehicle and the power steering would work with no issues. The next morning, the same thing happened, and I drove it to the dealership. I have to pay $1,600.00 to replace the entire steering system - everything: steering column, computer/electrical, alignment, etc. My chevy TRAX is only 4 years old and has 25,000 miles. …”

“Upon getting in the vehicle and turning it on, the steering wheel would not turn . It was locked and would not all ow me to steer it. I was attempting to drive it to another location in my yard, but the steering wheel was not allowing me to turn it. I have red other owners have similar complaints online. This is a safety hazard. And could cause a car wreck . This vehicle came from the manufacturer this way. This is intermittent and when it was happening the steering wheel light with an exclamation point lit up in the dashboard..”

“Chevy sucks. Bought my 2016 chevy TRAX in september 2015. It's been well maintained. At the 59,000 mile mark, the steering wheel locks up and the engine powers down with no warning, ESC lights comes on and the car loses acceleration. Took it to 1 dealer who keeps it for 4 weeks when they figure it's a module. I brought it to my regular mechanic who has a relationship with another chevy dealer so I could save on labor, they have it for another 4 weeks. And still with the savings, it cost me $1120 for this repair on top of the $218 I paid for the original diagnostic. …”

“While driving at around 40 miles the 2016 chevy TRAX loss power to 5-10 MPH, the steering wheel got stiff, the transmission and engine got idle. I took it to the chevy dealer. For fortune I was not driving in the highway. I am very concern as I don't feel this car is safe to drive. The car has currently 38k miles, I bought it used with little under 36k miles. I noticed about 7-8 similar complains is different websites. I think somebody from NHTSA should look at this issue. Driving a car with these problems can result in major accidents and potentially death.”
