2018 Chevrolet Trax owner complaints

Car filled with smoke and smell. Needed to replace the blower motor l, resistor, and pig tail or it would have killed my child.

In february on zero degree day my 2018 trax had blue smoke coming out of the tail pipe and almost stalled car running. I saw another trax that same day with blue smoke coming out of the tail pipe. When I was at the dealership they were returning some one elses trax and it had blue smoke coming out of it. The trax has a 1.4 turbo engine and gm seems to have a problem with the pcv system on this engine. Gm needs to come up with a fix for this problem and there should be a recall on this. You can look on youtube and the mechanics there are aware of the problem. The dealerships and gm seem to not have any interest in correcting this problem. The 1.4 turbo is put in many gm cars. I would think if nothing else this should be a pollution control recall.

Chevrolet had a recall (N232395330) for 2018 Trax models due to a problem with the turbocharger. For whatever reason, Chevrolet did not include all 2018 Trax models, and omitted ours. The turbocharger on ours failed, causing an oil problem and substantial damage to the engine (and, possibly, other parts), with an estimated $12,500 cost to repair. We have tried to work with both Chevrolet (case number X-XXX) and a local dealership (Tim Lally Chevrolet in Warrensville Heights, Ohio). Both are denying any liability for the problem. However, if Chevrolet had properly included all 2018 Trax models, and provided us with knowledge of the problem with the turbocharger, it would have been repaired without the substantial damage caused by Chevrolet's under reporting of the affected vehicles.

The indicator for the vehicle overheating illuminated as I checked. I noticed that the engine coolant was low so I brought a bottle to top it off however, I noticed once parking in front of my home that I had a puddle of the fluid on the ground.

The dash and radio has gone out since purchasing the car 9/2018. I called dealer they said they awaiting the update from GMC. Yet today this have I received a update on the computer in the dash. It's been 14 months. They radio just shuts off and won't come back on. I have taken it to service department by the time I drove there the radio came back on. I had the car serviced and the alignment was out. No one told me. I had to look at the service paperwork myself to find that there was a recall on the control arm weld. I had the recall fixed in 6/2019. On 11/4/2019 I went to get in my car and driving and the brakes felt like they went out. Then the ABS light came on and said I needed it services. They dealer still have my car and is stating it's a wheel sensor and not covered under warranty.

The steering of the vehicle is very tight and it doesn't spring back when turning the wheel on its own like most vehicles do . you have to manually bring your steering wheel back for the wheels to turn straight again..and this isn't normal by any means ... Also, The turbocharger in my vehicle isnt working correctly and is causing my check engine light to be on even after engine codes have issues have been repaired. I've changed air filters.. I've changed mass air flow sensors.. I've changed the intake manifold and the engine light comes back on after accelerating.. The engine code that keeps coming back on and returning is p0299.. this is an issue with the turbo boost.. And this is also something that has been recalled for other model Chevy lf the Chevy Trax.. my vehicle issues are reca

First my engine went out; replace with used engine $5,000. One cv joint went out; replaced $1400. Differential bushing went out; auto shop said he can't find bushing; has to replace whole differential $3,800. I'm sure I'll have to replace the other cv joints soon. This car has 128,000 miles on it. How does an engine and turbo gets ruined? That damn car was $21,000. Now the repairs are almost as much as the stupid car.

My vehicle has been giving me such a HEADACHE! I purchased the TRAX in (12/2021) and it has been in the shop for the same issue multiple times. It went in the shop in JULY and I did not pick my vehicle back up til September (2mths). the problem its having is the power steering keeps locking up and the engine and power steering lights keeps coming on. Once I come to a stop it will not pick up speed its liking I'm just sitting still and when it does start to go its taking a very slow time. I almost been in multiple accidents due to this issue. After spending thousands of dollars on rentals and Chevy service department, the issue still remains. I got the car out the shop in September and took it back a week later for the previous problem and they still cant find what is causing this problem.

On 2/17, I purchased a 2018 Chevy trax. The engine light came on 12/20/19 therefore I took it to the dealership. The diagnostics revealed two problems but only one was covered under the warranty. Problem 1. Turbo leaking at joint to inlet coupler (covered). Problem 2. Oxygen sensor defective (not covered). I have 63,676 miles on my trax and I was told that the warranty expired at 60,800 miles on the oxygen sensor. My car is only 1,400 miles over the warranty and I am experiencing so much problems. Also at times while driving the visual screen goes blank therefore the radio and reverse camaca does not work. There was also a recall on this vehicle and the dealer took care of it free of charge. I am so disappointed about my vehicle because it is not even two years old yet and so much

When I'm at a stop and try to push on the gas it feels like it's stalling out, I've also had problems with the radio and turn signal, I've had the radio screen be completely black but the radio was playing and on other times after taking it out of reverse and putting it in drive and actually driving down the street the two yellow margin lines still appear on the screen across the radio station and the turn signal seems like the dealer had to replace the overhead light in the car because it did not function as well, it delays when I turn it on it takes a couple of seconds for it to actually start flashing I've also had a problem with the emission and they told me it was because of cheap gas and they replaced something with the emission control and it felt like it was dying out before they

My Trax 2018 was leaking a fluid .My mechanic advised me that it was my radiator ,compressor and condenser .My mechanic proceeded to look into this for me and said there was a special coverage to take care of this from GM .But when I took it to Serpitini they said my vin doesn’t match .So I have to pay ifor it yo get fixed .only has 52,159 miles on it. I feel I shouldn’t have to pay for these parts since they were defective ,and my car was made at another plant !!!

Antifreeze leak from the turbo. Only 22500 miles. A search revealed that this is a constant and consistent problem. GM needs to issue a recall

Approximately one week ago, I went to reverse out of my drive way and my brakes were very hard. I was able to stop ok, but it took more effort than normal. That day, while in traffic, the “Service Brake Assist” indicator came on my dashboard. This went away after I went into class and then started my Trax and began driving again. The indicator did not reappear until about two days later. I parked in my driveway and that next morning I reversed out like usual and I had to put every bit of my 158lbs on the brake. I drove very slowly and then tried reversing. The brakes were fine. The next night I was driving home and someone cut me off. I had zero brakes. I had to drive off the road to avoid a collision. I came less than a foot from slamming into the vehicle in front of me. I managed to miss
