Power Train problem #2

Are the super boost on my vehicle is not working and I have took in it to the shop and got a netflix and they say the boost is brand new, but the valves were exchanged out and still having check engine light stating it’s the boost in the vehicle when going above 60 it loses power and is not accelerate higher.

Power Train problem #3

My car is continuously stuttering while driving on the highway and on neighborhood roads/when at the light. I have attempted to get help and am told that it is the turbocharge and that the turbocharge consistently goes out on the vehicle that I own (2017 chevy Trax). I do not understand why I can't get it fixed if they are saying they know what it is and that it is something that is happening so often that they know about it. I live in a city and people are always driving too close and too fast. I do not want to die in this car because my turbocharge goes out while I'm on the highway and I can't maneuver fast enough. This has been going on for several months now and no one is able or willing to help.

Power Train problem #4

Keep getting service stabilitrak.

Power Train problem #5

I drove my Trax yesterday with no problems whatsoever, this morning I get into my vehicle at home, start the car and within two minutes, its full of smoke coming from under the hood, the engine light comes on and the front of the Trax starts making horrible noises and shaking. I turn the car off and let it sit for a few minutes, try to start it up again and it will not turn over. There are no fluids on the ground, no wiring that I could see undone, not sure on what the problem is. I do have it being towed to a certified dealership to get it looked at and praying fixed.

Power Train problem #6

Where to begin. I bought the vehicle brand new with 29 miles on it in April of 2017, January of 2019 I started having issues. My check engine light kept coming on and it affected my gas mileage and speed. I had stopped at a chevy dealership in forest lake minnesota and had them scan the vehicle to see what was going on and made an appointment to bring it back in for a full diagnostics. I get there and they asked me if I had another vehicle with me because it would take about a week of it being there. First off, I hadn't agreed to anything yet, I still did not even know what was wrong with it yet. They ended up doing what they said was a full diagnostic on the vehicle (which cost me almost $200) came back to me and started off by telling me that I bought a "warm weather" vehicle and it in fact was my turbo that was going out. They stated that what was happening was it would freeze and what needed to be done was some sort of heating element needed to be installed, and this was going to cost me $2500 plus labor. I was out of warranty but still had my drivetrain warranty ( at this time I had forgotten I had purchased the extended warranty) I was told it wouldn't cover it. I was irate and left, was contacted a few days later by my normal dealership to replace a valve (special service) had that done, found out that the real issue was an oil and air leak. Now to fast forward to 2021- I fixed the oil and air leak 3 more times before replacing the intake cover from plastic to aluminum. Engine is still leaking oil like crazy though. That is only one piece of my issues, I keep getting a code (since 2021) p0420 which reads that it's my catalysts- since I was out of warranty I needed to wait until I could afford to do this, plus we needed to figure out which or both. . Then I received the letter stating that there are issues with the turbo. Of course, I am out of warranty, now over 120k and the pos is costing me a fortune! if I had more space I could go on with my issues.
