Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The vehicle's shifter console does not illuminate at night, leaving one to guess what function they are in (park, reverse, drive). A very tiny notification is on the electronic dashboard, but if that fails, then there is no way of knowing what function the vehicle is in. Chevy says that the feature is standard, yet admitted that they left out of some 2017 TRAX vehicles. The shifter console does not illuminate regardless of whether your headlights are on or off. Chevy has been made aware of this issue and informed that it is too expensive to fix the defect.”
