general problems of the 2017 Chevrolet Trax

When driving, speedometer/rpm dial both go to 0. The “service stabilitrak” message comes on followed by the “service power steering, drive with care” message. The check engine light will also sometimes appear. The transmission is also affected (jerking when changing gears, inability to accelerate properly, revving). Power steering goes in and out. Car doesn’t feel safe to drive while it’s happening. No triggers or commonalities known. Car goes back to normal when left off and turned back on. Code u0073 "control module communication bus 'a' off” appeared with at home obd2 scanner.

It’s either my ball joints or the suspension or the arms. But they have a recall of the same exact issues I’m having but my car isnt part of the recalled list. But I am having the same issues and I’m at 109k miles. And I wasn’t in an accident. It actually started happening after I had my car in the shop to replace my turbo. Since ive gotten it back it sounds and drives horribly and from what I’m hearing its my ball joints or suspension or arms to that.

2017 Chevrolet Trax mileage 35,703 November 20, 2022 ( second incident)while driving 50 mph on a highway, I lost power steering, acceleration, and dashboard instruments( speedometer & tach) failed. Dashboard message advised of loss of power steering. I was able to drive about one mile before I could safely pull to the side of the road and after stopping the issue resolved itself but check engine light came on but turned off within a 24 hour period. Later found out my son had experienced the same issue with my car one month earlier. December 6 th- took it to dealer who could not replicate the problem and was unable to provide explanation or solution. This was a frightening safety issue- luckily there was not a lot of traffic when the problem occurred. I am very concerned about driving this car and having this happen again.

When attempting to make a right turn, the steering wheel will only go so far (it feels stuck) unless pulled hard to the right. After making the right turn, the steering wheel and does not automatically go back as it ahould. This issue has only started within the last week or so.

The contact's wife owns a 2017 Chevrolet Trax. The contact stated when attempting to make a left or right turn when the steering wheel became difficult to turn. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact mentioned that as the failure progresses an abnormal noise was heard when the failure occurs. The contact took the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the steering gearbox to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired but was pending repairs. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 25,600.

Tires, suspension, water pump, water pump belt, thermostat alignment very often change tires because of alignment.

Had a recall for lower control arms arms rlaced twice brought it back a 3rd time chevy is now saying I have rest in the steering gear assembly and I have to pay to have item fix. This car is guarge kept?.

While driving the service stabilitrak light goes on, the engine will go from whatever speed I am going then lose acceleration completely and automatically jump back up to the speed I was going making the car jolt and the power steering freezes up for no reason. Once the power steering freezes the warning light will go on. The vehicle has been in the shop 3 times for this issue(11/27/19 12/14/19 & 4/23/20). The car is still at the dealership and they cant seem to figure out the issue.

When the car was in motion and I was trying to turn it would go. All the lights came on the dash board and this is not the first time it did this. This is unsafe and help is needed!.

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.

Service stabili trak warning and engine light came on with no prior warning. The vehicle would not reset, have to take it in for service. The roads and conditions were completely fair. No improper use of vehicle to cause these error lights. Vehicle engine sounds horrible and handles terribly.

This will be the third time in 6 months that the car has had to be taken in to the dealership. It displays power steering error, engine light come on and car with drop speed with no warning. It also losses the power steering. It will then start up fine and run, but this time the engine light is remaining on. Has happened in the warm and cold weather and after a long drive and a short drive. Not sure why there are no other reports of this happening. It has happened when driving at 45 miles and this last time when trying to start it to leave my house. Very scary to have your child driving this to and from school.
