“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #11323090, filed 2020-05, 48,500 miles“On three separate occasions, I went to my Chevrolet store and told them about how my gas gauge was not working correctly. I would fill my TRAX up, and instead of it moving to full, the gauge stayed at 1/2 tank. I never knew what the correct level of gas was in my vehicle. I even took pictures of the levels before and after the fill up, but they laughed it off, 3 times and said there were not any codes coming up, so it was okay. The 4th time I went, another company bought out the prior owner and said he had to replace the module. …”
NHTSA complaint #11257231, filed 2019-09, 5,000 miles“In cold weather driving, 2017 chevy TRAX will throw a check engine light 20 minutes after startup, which shuts down the vehicles ability to maintain speed. This happens in town and on the highway. Code says turbo freezing. The vehicle will go max 40mph uphill on the highway and max 60mph on flat or downhill highway. Have to pull over because cars are coming from behind very fast in snowy conditions when vehicle will not maintain speed. The vehicle cannot accelerate from a stop either. Very scary. …”
