Check Engine Light On problems of the 2017 Chevrolet Trax

Cold weather caused turbo system to freeze and the vehicle go into limp mode. Unable to accelerate. Parts on national backorder for 2 months. I purchased this vehicle used with just under 19,000 miles on in December 2017. On December 30th the check engine light came on and the vehicle went into limp mode while accelerating on the highway (previous had let the vehicle go through 2 start up cycles and went about 5 miles down the road before I had an issue). The weather was around -20 f. Took to dealership and a solenoid was replaced for the turbo system. After about a week of having the vehicle, when the weather was cold but not as cold as the first time the issue occurred, the check engine light came on and the vehicle went into limp mode. I was probably about 10 miles down the road and had ran the vehicle through a remote start cycle. I was accelerating after slowing down for another vehicle. Vehicle was at the dealership for 2 months as the part I needed for TSB # 16-na-405 (dated 12/23/16) was on a national backorder. The weather warmed up, so the dealership let me have the vehicle back until the part came in. Shortly after the part I needed came in, so the TSB was completed. Chevy has known about the turbo system freezing for over a year, yet they sell vehicles with this issue in cold weather states. Chevy did not seem concerned about this issue, so I am hoping to warn others and get the word out. I spoke to someone who also has a Trax and had the same issue. They actually had their vehicle start smoking after the repair, and the repair had to me made over. Chevy needs to make sure this is fixed in all vehicles with this turbo system, so someone does get stranded or in an accident.

In cold weather driving, 2017 chevy Trax will throw a check engine light 20 minutes after startup, which shuts down the vehicles ability to maintain speed. This happens in town and on the highway. Code says turbo freezing. The vehicle will go max 40mph uphill on the highway and max 60mph on flat or downhill highway. Have to pull over because cars are coming from behind very fast in snowy conditions when vehicle will not maintain speed. The vehicle cannot accelerate from a stop either. Very scary. In town driving is almost not possible without getting run into because you cannot get out of the way. We have 10 of these vehicles and they all do the same. Chevy dealer says they have a fix, but cannot gets parts to fix. Its been 4 months of this major safety issue with no help from chevy. I am fed up.
