I paid extra for the wireless Android system on my car so i would not be tempted to text while driving and stay hands free as 3,522 people were killed in 2021 by distracted driving. The wireless Android has not worked since I purchased the vehicle on 8/29/2023. The local dealership has identified the radio as the reason and has one on order. The part has been on order since mid-October and there is no expected delivery date. I tried contacting the Chevrolet Resolution Center directly and never received a response. I then contacted the BBB and after the BBB contacted Chevrolet received a response from the Chevrolet Resolution Center. The representative could not provide an expected delivery date and promised to check with the local dealership and keep me updated. I then contacted my state'

I bought my car in june of 2023 and after about 2 weeks of driving it i noticed when i drove 40-50 miles per hour my car would start to make a loud griding sounding noise... so last friday November 10 2023 the dealership replaced the noise cancellation moduler and the noise completely stopped... which is great, but now my radio will not connect to any device wirelessly on apple car play... it only connects to the devices through bluetooth only. we have tried 6 devices of mine, no luck, the dealership tried serval devices and they could not figure it out either... this is a major inconvenience because apple carplay was the main reason i bought the vehicle.

Since the vehicle was purchased, the driver seat's height has slowly been lowering itself over time. After a typical week of driving over an hour per day, the seat is noticeably lower (~2 inches) than when I started. I can raise the height manually again, but this process repeats itself, becoming quite annoying. I brought the vehicle to the dealership, but they claim they were unable to recreate the issue. I called the customer support phone number (800-222-1020) and the rep stated he could not help me further since no service bulletin about the issue could be found. Call reference # XXX.

Passenger speaker went out and the dealership won't do anything until a recall happens

On Tues 11/19/24, my son left home about 10 mins prior headed back to school in our 2024 Chevy Trax purchased in 5/2023. On his way to school, he and his friend heard a loud pop sound, followed by all the lights on the instrument panel flickering like crazy, smoke coming from under the hood, and then the car slowing to a stop, still in the road. Luckily they were able to get out because all the doors, except the driver door, locked including the trunk. The smoke got worse until it caught on fire. Good Samaritans stopped to help my 17 yo son and his friend and there was an off duty responder that turned around to put out the fire with the extinguisher he had on him, ahead of the fire department arriving on scene. This could have been very detrimental and had a very different outcome and GM/

I was driving at a low rate of speed after leaving my house and the instrument panel (dashboard) screens went completely blank. It was as if the computer system was resetting/rebooting. Within a few seconds, the instrument panel screen started working again and I could see the instrument panel readings. It was unnerving as I had my daughter with me. This is the second time the instrument panel has gone completely blank. The first time was in July 2024, and I filed a report with NHTSA in complaint number 11677778. That complaint generated no recall for my vehicle even though there is a recall NHTSA ID: 23V744000 for 2024 Chevrolet Trax vehicles with the same problem I have now have had twice. Since this problem has occurred twice, and there is already a recall on 2024 Trax vehicles f

My car has been to the dealership over three times to have my digital dominator and my touchscreen looked at as a blackout in the middle of driving I could be using GPS or just talking on Bluetooth and it kicks it back onto my phone then I’m becoming a distracted driver because I have to use my GPS and now I have to pick up my phone and look at my phone until it decides to pick back up on my screen My screen would blackout. This has been three years of dealing with us. General Motors still has no solution to it refused to do a buyback in my car offered me an extra warranty on electrical components but that you can’t even figure out what the issue is. I’m paying almost $700 for a car that I have nothing but issues with.

Driver side power window does not work intermittently

Currently the Intrument Cluster and the Infotainment screens reboots roughly every 60 seconds. The screens would go black then reboots. Would temporary loose speed indicator as well as all other functions.

The engine failed at approximately 44,000 miles. The vehicle uses a wet timing belt engine design, where the timing belt runs inside the engine oil. The engine suddenly stopped working and now requires a full engine replacement. This failure happened much earlier than expected for a modern vehicle and could be a safety risk if the engine fails while driving.

Serra Chevy has my trax. A mechanic checked it it is blown engine. No time frame for an engine. I believe a fail msg flashed after engine failed all systems stopped i pulled to side of road oil pouring out from under my vehical.

For the past 3 to 6 months I've been hearing a gear backlash sound while using the adaptive cruise control when it would slow down for a car in front of the vehicle then when it would start to speed up. Brought the vehicle to the dealership on October 20th, 2025. They said that the sound is normal and there's a service bulletin that says its normal in other Chevy models. Then on November 28th, 2025 I was driving home, turn right at a light, and started to accelerate. Then I heard the same backlash noise as before then the check engine light came on with the oil light. I pulled over immediately and turned off the engine just to see all the oil spilling out of the engine compartment onto the ground and white smoke. Got it towed to the dealership and they told me that "the engine had multiple

Auto headlights turn headlights ON in sunshine. Then OFF in daytime shade. (when driving down a tree lined road, lights come on when not under tree shade, then off with every tree shade, gives the appearance I am "flashing" my headlights, same thing with underpasses, etc. Lights work properly at night.) Dealership said they had "no idea" what the problem was and would have to contact GM engineers in Korea. It has been 2 months so far with no information from dealer. I have to try and remember to turn AUTO HEADLIGHTS OFF every time I start the car, which also turns DRL off, a safety issue for certain.
