Sitting at a stoplight on a slight hill, with my foot on the break, my car started rolling backwards. When it started rolling, I pressed harder on the break and it kept rolling. I had to slam and put the car in park for it to stop. After I got it stopped, I put it back in drive and then it was okay. There had to be something wrong with my break it to do that. I have to drive long distance and I’m afraid I’m gonna have problems again. Just thank god there was not a car behind me or I would’ve been in an accident and my fault. I have never had an accident. That was my fault.

I purchased a new 2017 Trax on July 15, 2017. Since I got the car I heard a squeak from the rear brakes. I took it back to the dealer and they told me that it is a new car and the squeal will go away. It did not go away. I have taken the car to the dealer 5 times and they keep telling me the rear brakes are ok. I want the dealer to inspect the rear breaks and fix it. Also I want the left- and right-front lower-control arms, inspect and replacing them as necessary to prevent a fatal accident. My car only has 29, 600 miles. Since I bought it, I have taken the car to the dealer with the same problem. All records for my car are in the dealer.

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 sent out. They did find a tear in some arm on the vehicle, caused by a defective ball bearing which was replaced but unrelated to why it was there. Late October, I experienced other issues with clicking on my breaking system, with my stabilitrack and check engine lights turning on, but then off when I went in reverse. At this time, I knew about the recall (# a192261870) and brought my car back in on Nov. 1, 2019. Again they couldn't "replicate" the issue, but inspected the car with regards to the recall and returned it with no immediate resolution. They ordered a speed-control part and all the recall parts. It's now December 4 and they still do not have the replacement control arms & the bolts that go with them (page Chevrolet service dept; alexandria, va 22312; 703-349-4011. My vehicle continues to have braking/idling/spudering issues on occasion, it is not constant. I have had to call regularly to get updates, and have attempted to call Chevrolet's customer assistance center to open an inquiry but am getting the run around of rover a month. I do not consider this timely.

First problem with my Trax 2017 was when my elementary school kid pulled the seat belt to snap her booster seat and it never rolled back. Stays stretched and doesn't retract. I thought it was not a big deal and moved her on the other side. Yesterday I got the engine light on and my car just slowed down for no reason. I was already scared and wondering if it is safe to drive with the kids on the back but was on the middle of the road with no place to pull over so I kept going but my car would no go over 30mph. 5 minutes later it got better. I am taking it to the dealership tomorrow but its over an hour away and don't even know if I should drive or have it towed.
