I just purchased this vehicle. I found that the fuel filler neck has a leak which is a fire risk. I was initially promised that the part would be replaced in a week, but recently found that the part is back ordered because this is a prevalent issue with 2025 models. At the dealer I was mislead into thinking this isn’t a big issue when it is, I was told I could continue to drive the vehicle with minimal risk but gas has been leaking in my grass and causing it to change colors as well as paying more for gas despite being sold on great gas mileage. To make matters worse worse the vehicle is starting to sputter and has less than 2k miles. I feel that this should be a national recall before someone gets hurt. Chevy Trax are affordable for tons of people if all of us are in combustible vehicles the environment is bound to take a hit. Please help.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Trax. The contact smelled an abnormal burning odor and became aware that the a/c unit failed to operate past level 4. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that the connector for the a/c unit had failed and needed to be replaced. The independent mechanic became aware that the wire for the a/c unit was burned, causing the a/c unit to malfunction. The a/c resistor, connector, and a/c blower motor were replaced. The contact stated that the resistor and connector had been burned 3 times and needed to be replaced again. The failure persisted, and the a/c unit continued releasing the burning odor.

The vehicle shut off completely while driving twice in 24 hours. Lost all power, brakes locked up, first incident on July 26, 2025. Vehicle did restart after and was able to drive home. Would not start, had no power on July 26, 2025. Tow truck came, jump started the vehicle. I pulled out of my driveway to take it to the dealer for service of issue, vehicle shut off as soon as I pressed the brake to stop at a stop sign and lost all power again. Brakes also locked up again after the vehicle lost power. Tow truck transported vehicle to the dealer from there.

The coolant reservoir is missing hoses which are supposed to be connected. The head gasket is completely blown out, which is under warranty. Excessive overheating—three signs light up on the dashboard: red thermometer indicating an overheating engine; check engine light; and check engine light with arrow pointing downward indicating engine speed to be reduced. Trax stopped in the middle of the traffic light on and 7/26/25 and had it towed.

Unknown I’ve had my car for 11 months. When I first got the car I got it fully inspected and there were minor issues like tires and brakes. However, now the ac compressor is completely damaged and there may be contamination in my lines. This is not an owner issue. I take really good care of my car. I just don’t know how this could’ve happened if this wasn’t a manufacturer related issue.

Carplay turning off during heavy travel (getting lost), going 5 minutes down the road, anytime. But phone is still connected so gps will not work properly. Screen glitches.

My car shuts down completely and everything goes black while I’m driving. Did it twice while I was driving on a busy highway. I almost got hit twice.

The instrument panel that shows the tire pressure, speed, oil, mileage etc. Goes blank black then comes back on. Its been happening for a year and I did contacted chevy about it. I waited for them to contact me back but they never did. I have taken it for the oil changes at the dealer but its usually on. I explain to the chevy dealer service about it over the phone, they told me it would cost a certain amount to fix and they needed to do a diagnosis first. This has been going on for 3 years (the turning blank on and off) while driving .

My radio turns up and changes by itself . It’s leaking oil an I’ve replaced everything a can’t figure it out , if anything it’s the engine it just won’t make sense . I dumped so much money into it already.

I am very unsure what is going on, but when I am in reverse my whole dash loudly rattles and vibrates the whole car. My front door speakers also keep going out with makes me think we may have a wiring issue.

Started car four times with no dashboard lights. The screen was blocked out. No speedometer or anything just black.

The instrument panel where the digital speed, tire pressure, mileage etc. . Is displayed goes black. Sometimes it comes back on and sometimes it stays off for hours.

The front exhaust flex pipe leaked by a corrosive hole that allowed exhaust and CO carbon monoxide to escape making the drivers dizzy, nauseated, and with a headache. This also caused the vehicle to smoke, run rough and stall in traffic. This also required the post 02 sensor to be replaced.

The dash screen behind the steering wheel (showing the speed/milege/trip info) randomly stops working. According to forums, this is a common issue with this make and model.

The touch screen on the front dashboard and the interior lights get so hot sometimes that you cannot touch them. Definitely an electrical issue causing both of those issues. Part of the air vent next to the touch screen has actually melted from the heat! also, you cannot drive with the air conditioner on. The car gets no power at all. Just to go 30 mph, you have to go all the way up to almost 5 rpms. The only way to cancel this out is to pull over, turn the car off and than back on (with no ac on). All summer long it has been doing this… possibly a transmission issue. I’ve personally only owned the vehicle for 2 yrs and the year of the car is a 2020, so there’s no reason it should be doing this. There is no exact date. It happens all the time, so I’ll just put the beginning of the spring.

Electronic dashboard goes out while driving often and the radio. This has happened on several occasions. This is not safe for my teens.

No cold ac only hot, car temps hit 107 as of 3/19/25 is believed to be the evaporator system. I have an 8 month old baby this is very dangerous.

Compré este carro en medio DE una necesidad al dealer real trucks and cars en buenas condiciones con 2000$ DE downpayment y nunca me respondieron por la garantía del carro y encima tuve más DE 2000$ en gastos y el día que decido cambiar el carro me llega la información DE que ese carro tenía un título rebuild y dos choques fuertes en el pasado con daños en el chasis y el historial que me habían dado en el dealer estaba adulterado porque evidentemente no aparecía nada DE lo detallado, posteriormente al reclamo, la persona que me lo vendió me amenazo con agredirme cuando se encontrara conmigo y se burló mío por el dinero que me quitó y lo que ganó él y todo lo que yo perdí… incluso quiero una compensación reclamando todo el dinero que le invertí al carro, el downpayment y daños y prejuicios causados….

Sunroof keeps popping up when trying to close it, the radio defaults to original settings and won’t play will only play apple carplay. And the instrument panel was black while driving.

We have had problems with this vehicle since we purchased it 2yrs ago. It started with loosing power once in awhile, then the ac quit working, both sets of keys have lost the buttons on the keypad, we have to manually lock and unlock the doors and the auto start is unusable, and now it stalls out at a speed above 30mph and starts smoking severely. It is not drivable. I have to pull over every 2 to 3 miles, because it overheats. We had it towed to a mechanic 2 weeks ago and he did what he could for what we could afford, but we didn't get 10 miles before it started again. The mechanic said this vehicle had a lot of problems. We are 79yrs old and we always have our grandchildren 5 and 6 with us. You can imagine how frightening it is when this happens and we pull over and get everyone out. People pull off and try to help, but we worry about the wrong person stopping for the wrong reason.

After shifting from reverse to drive, the main dashboard display went completely black and stayed black for the remainder of my drive cycle. During this incident, the infotainment screen remained working as normal. The dashboard display returned to normal operation at the next key-cycle (I waited 10 minutes and started again). Incident occurred February 19, 2025. It was dangerous because I could not see my speed, the engine temperature, or be aware of any warnings (had there been any). The engine appeared to run normally. I haven't driven again to test if the problem reoccurs. I haven't had the opportunity to bring to the dealership to evaluation.

The 2016 through 2024 chevy Trax all have an issue with the climate control fan resistor. It burns out on a regular basis. Very dangerous because as you can see in the pictures it got very hot. It's a bad design, the heat sink is not adequate to hold the voltage and or the motor is too small or bomdined. It's a serious issue that almost every chevy Trax owner is experiencing. Please we really need your help to investigate this. My daughters drives this car and I need it to be safe. We only owned the car a month before this happened and someone already changed the fan motor and resistor before we got it. Thank you john mccloskey.

Digital display & information screen goes black, you can't see anything at all. I had an issue with my Trax not to long after I purchased it had to take it back to dealership told service manager about it, nothing was done about the display. With the display out you couldn't read any warnings at all not even temperature and blown my engine. My Trax didn't have regular gages. The dealership had free lifetime powertrain warranty, now they don't want to put a new engine it.

Repeatedly disply reduce engine warning, , stabilitrak / traction warnings, loss of power while driving, and dashing board goes dark.

For the air conditioning I've had the blower I've had to replace the pigtail and resistor but now it's going into limp mode and saying service stabilitrak and I was on a paved road doing 20 mph at a stop light. I don't know what the hell this is going to cost me.

My touch screen and odometer. They periodically go black while driving . This is a safety hazard to me and my family . Yes this affects the safety of my family due to the screens over heating and going black where I can’t see speed or anything . Yes the car has been taken to dealer ship for many issues I have had . No it has not only the dealership . No signals at all.

I turned on the vehicle and the check engine light came on blinking* for the first time. The traction control light also came on after a few minutes of driving. About a minute later, the vehicle began to slow from 40 to a near-complete stop in the middle of a busy road. No blinking lights or alerts. I pulled the vehicle into a parking lot and parked. The vehicle began shaking slightly. I turned off the vehicle for about 15 minutes or so and was able to drive back home with the check engine light still on. I called to have the vehicle towed to a dealership.

I’ve had my 2025 chevy tracks for less than a year at first having issues in January 2025. I was driving back from my son‘s birthday party and the entire dash just went black. I could not see the mile per hour I was going and I could not see my radio my entire front dash just blacked out for almost a minute. I was driving at the speed of 70 miles an hour when this occurred putting myself and others at risk I was able to pull over on the side of the highway to see the issue going on with my vehicle. I turned off my vehicle and turned it back on thank you. Maybe that would resolve the issue, but it clearly didn’t. I contact gm. I contact the dealership dutch miller and explain to them the issue that did did occur. I took it into a shop. The dealership looked at it. They updated it the system in my car. Which I thought that resolved the issue for a few months and now I’m back to the dash going black when I’m driving, took it back to the dealership again and they said that they couldn’t find any issues and we just gotta wait until a recall occurs with gm. Been contacting general motors about this issue. This is a safety hazard and extremely dangerous when you’re going speed limit at high speed and you cannot see anything on your dash it is terrifying and scary especially when you have your family in the car. Hopefully gm gets this fixed. It’s a brand new car should not have any issues.

The car electrical system restarts itself sporadically when I’m driving. I have taken it to the chevy dealer multiple times and they keep saying nothing is wrong. However, when I’m driving all the screens just go black without any warning and comes back on in about a minute. This issue occurred within the first month of having this car and it was brand new.
