Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While on the highway, my truck went hard right while my steering wheel was in straight position. I asked my passenger did you feel that . They said yes .it was very scary and happens very sporadic.also the brakes seem to be some timey with stopping efficiently, like you either stop too quick or not fast enough. I'm not sure why my VIN has not appeared in this recall when clearly my vehicle has the same issues and within the make model and year.”
NHTSA complaint #11222919, filed 2019-06, 2,500 miles“I leased a 2019 chevy TRAX in jan on this year, had about 8,000 miles on it last month when the lower control arm failed while my wife was driving it. There is recall for previous years but not my vehicle for the lower control arm. Long story short, I filed an inquiry case with GM to which they said the accident caused the failure. In my opinion, the failure caused the accident and thank god she was just accelerating at 3 or 4 MPH from a stop light when the failure occurred. …”
NHTSA complaint #11282266, filed 2019-11, 8,500 miles“I was traveling in my car on the freeway. Traffic came to a deceleration very quickly and suddenly. I was able to slow down in time to avoid the car in front of me, however I was struck from behind. The driver behind me must have swerved also to try to avoid hitting me directly from behind. She hit my rear driver side. This action caused my control arm, strut tower, rotor, wheel and all other associated parts to detach from the vehicle. This also consequentially caused the brake hose to be ripped from the assembly resulting in poor brake pressure. …”
NHTSA complaint #11317802, filed 2020-03, 10,000 miles“My 2019 chevy TRAX both strut mounts are broken on the front, the car is three years old this is to young of a car to already have those issues. And both sides.”
NHTSA complaint #11382952, filed 2020-12, 25,687 miles“My car smells like a strong fume that is wanting to knock me out. I pharmacy something in the car that was wrapped in foil and the foil started crackling. Since then it looks like my car is pulling apart, and the suspensions shocks have gone out. When making turn it comes off as if the car is going to buckle under me.”
