Example complaints

“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #11074084, filed 2018-02, 5,000 miles“Vehicle was at highway speed when systems began to fail and vehicle abruptly lost acceleration. Warning lights and messages began to appear abruptly without warning. Rpm, and MPH digital dial/ number jumped to 0 and back up to a random speed and then back down to 0. Accelerator pedal did not have any bearing on speed control. Uncontrolled stalling at highway speed without any warning. Vehicle was driven off active roadway at next available exit and parked. Vehicle maintained error codes. Dealer contacted for tow. After waiting for tow and engine off, all error codes cleared. …”
NHTSA complaint #11153448, filed 2018-11, 9,591 miles“Traveling about 25 mph I took my foot off the accelerator and tried to slow down but the gas pedal was stuck and the brakes were very hard to stop I actually had to throw it in neutral to make it come to a stop our thoughts were gas pedal was still at accelerating when I wanted to stop.”

Dashboard message advised of loss of power steering. I was able to drive about one mile before I could safely pull to the side of the road and after stopping the issue resolved itself but check engine light came on but turned off within a 24 hour period. Later found out my son had experienced the same issue with my car one month earlier. …”
