2017 Chevrolet Trax mileage 35,703 November 20, 2022 ( second incident)while driving 50 mph on a highway, I lost power steering, acceleration, and dashboard instruments( speedometer & tach) failed. 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. December 6 th- Took it to dealer who could not replicate the problem and was unable to provide explanation or solution. This was a frightening safety issue- luckily there was not a lot of traffic when the problem occurred. I am very concerned about driving thi

I've received two notices from gm, once that has an actual recall. Both notices were received after my 2017 trax had been taken to the dealership for check-ups/repairs because of presenting symptoms of both issues of the notices/recall. The first being an evaporaive emissions purge valve that may not fully close, causing the engine to run cold, hesitate or stall at idle speeds. I experienced idling and jerking when my car was in lower gears, jerking so badly, with running in high rpms. I did not know if I would make it home and had to drive with my hazards on. This was experienced on sept. 2, 2019 (labor day) and I had my car towed from my parking garage to the dealership on sept. 4th, 2019. They could not replicate the problem or address it and were not aware of the notice gm had se

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. Driven to dealer and currently in service. Vehicle fairly new and repair under warranty. Problem uncertain but technician pointed to a grounding problem. Error lights during incident: power steering warning light (ste

When the car was in motion and I was trying to turn it would go. All the lights came on the dash board and this is not the first time it did this. This is unsafe and help is needed!

I own a 2017 Chevy trax. My AWD warning light came on saying the AWD system was shut off. It cost me $430.00 to replace the rear differential because it was in such bad shape. That is ridiculous to have that happen in only 3 years.

Roughly at 40,000 miles driver side seat began to raddle badly. When I got out of the car the whole seat lifted up. I looked under the seat and noticed a lift mechanism that raised the seat or lowered it was broken off and now it's just flopping away. If I brake to hard the whole seat pushes me forward and wedges me in between it and the seat belt.

My Check engine light came on at about 46,000 miles. The mechanic showed me that the oil was burned at looked like chips of metal. He said that the Turbo Charger was cracked also. He replaced everything and flushed the system clean. He video taped the whole repair process. Now, 8,000 miles later, the Check Engine light is back on and the very same problem has repeated itself. I looked on the internet and found HUNDREDS of Blogs with THOUSANDS of Consumers with the same problem. All of them state that the Turbo Charger cracks, leaks into the coolant, over-heats the engine and burns up the oil. They all state that the repair is about $3,000.00. Some are on their 3rd and 4th go-around with this problem. They state that Chevrolet does NOT respond. I, personally, contacted the dealer

I have a 2017 Chevy trax with a 1.4l turbo. I have around 82,000 miles on it. Last week it started running rough so I checked the oil and there was none. And then realized the intake gasket was completely shot. Brought it to the dealer and they found that cylinder 3 ring was shot. That being said they wanted 2500 for a rebuild and when I asked if I would get some assistance from gm it came down to I wasn't a loyal customer they weren't going to help. Just because all service wasn't done there. And now I have a car with a bad motor at 82k miles. To me that seems like a a defective ring from when the motor was built. They say no of course. I'm very in satisfied and in awe on this situation. I will never purchase another vehicle from Chevy again.

Around early Feb the engine started having issues. The vehicle would jerk and stall while driving and stopped in the middle of a busy street at a red light. And another time when going around a high traffic uphill turn. Around February 14 the car stopped on me and I had to have it towed to my mechanic and rent a vehicle so that everyone in the household could get to work and not lose our jobs. My mechanic confirmed that the turbo engine was failing just like it did in April of 2022. That time it was still covered under the manufacturer's warranty. In March I received a letter from GMC announcing issues with their Turbo Gas engine, stating all the issues I had experienced both times. I was directed to a GMC dealer near me, but they refused to fix the issue and instead told me they can "brea

The catalytic converter is failing and there is an oil leak somewhere within the engine system that is producing a burning smell from the heating vents.

As I was driving all the lights and pictures started to flash on the dash board. The car wheel didnt want to turn and hot very hard to steer. The service engine light keeps flashing on and off. Its riding crazy. It was in motion.

This car is been having problems since months of me buying it frustrated just beacause have to be alot in the dealer and long hours waiting

The feature on the car that notifies you that the tire pressure sensor is failing may not be working. Currently my tire pressure on my dashboard is reporting that the PSI on my right rear tire is 19 PSI. However when I put an air gage to the tire its reading 34 or 35 PSI. I have taken it to a tire shop so that they can put more air and they also state the pressure is fine.
