2017 Chevrolet Trax Engine Problems

“While driving the service stabilitrak light goes on, the engine will go from whatever speed I am going then lose acceleration completely and automatically jump back up to the speed I was going making the car jolt and the power steering freezes up for no reason. Once the power steering freezes the warning light will go on. The vehicle has been in the shop 3 times for this issue(11/27/19 12/14/19 & 4/23/20). The car is still at the dealership and they cant seem to figure out the issue.”

“The first major repair I had with my vehicle happened shortly after I serviced it for it's regular oil change at the end of 2018. I notice my AC was going in and out and I checked my coolant, the reservoir was empty. When I made an appointment at the service department they discovered a leak under neath the turbo. In 2019 a valve was replaced that was sticking as courtesy at one of my oil changes. This year my vehicle stalled out on me at the gas station. I turned off my vehicle to pump gas and it wouldn't turn back over. …”

“First problem with my TRAX 2017 was when my elementary school kid pulled the seat belt to snap her booster seat and it never rolled back. Stays stretched and doesn't retract. I thought it was not a big deal and moved her on the other side. Yesterday I got the engine light on and my car just slowed down for no reason. I was already scared and wondering if it is safe to drive with the kids on the back but was on the middle of the road with no place to pull over so I kept going but my car would no go over 30mph. …”

“I drove my TRAX yesterday with no problems whatsoever, this morning I get into my vehicle at home, start the car and within two minutes, its full of smoke coming from under the hood, the engine light comes on and the front of the TRAX starts making horrible noises and shaking. I turn the car off and let it sit for a few minutes, try to start it up again and it will not turn over. There are no fluids on the ground, no wiring that I could see undone, not sure on what the problem is. I do have it being towed to a certified dealership to get it looked at and praying fixed.”

“Cold weather caused turbo system to freeze and the vehicle go into limp mode. Unable to accelerate. Parts on national backorder for 2 months. I purchased this vehicle used with just under 19,000 miles on in december 2017. On december 30th the check engine light came on and the vehicle went into limp mode while accelerating on the highway (previous had let the vehicle go through 2 start up cycles and went about 5 miles down the road before I had an issue). The weather was around -20 f. Took to dealership and a solenoid was replaced for the turbo system. …”
