Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I am driving the vehicle and suddenly the information center and entertainment center will suddenly go black without warning. This will stay black for approximately 10 seconds. Followed by 2 chimes. A series of 4 lights on the drivers side front dash will come on. I believe this is related to the forward collision system(the lights that come on). The entertainment and information center then come back on without any errors or messages. I noticed this issue occurred all spring, summer and fall of and part of winter of 2025. Then it stopped thru mid april 2026 and then started again. …”

“Was traveling to head towards the beach and all of a sudden the whole dash starts glitching then goes out for about 10-25 seconds then cuts back on like the car is powering back on. I thought maybe it had something to do with my daughter touching the radio. Well I continue to travel get down the road about another 45mins and it does it again. So I decide to turn the radio off, turn off the A/C, call the dealership and turn around and go home. Dealership checks the car, states it may have been the radio. But how when the car seem to lag/ lose power for a few seconds. That's a safety issue. …”

“The electronic instrument cluster and all gauges (speedometer etc.) goes blank while driving the vehicle. The instrument cluster comes back on in about a minute. This was a recall item on the 2024 Chevy Trax but apparently has not been recalled on the 2025 (same issue on the same car). This has happened multiple times on this vehicle.”
