The issues with the car happen when attempting to go over 40mph. After maybe 10-15min of driving, if attempting to go over 40mph, the car starts making a clinking sound, a lot of exhaust smoke comes out the back and there is a general inability to accelerate without the engine sputtering which even happened at lower speeds once it has already started to happen. The check engine light come on when this occurs. Our safety does seem to be at risk as we cannot seem to keep up with traffic speeds and would likely cause an accident if we remain on the road while the car is exhibiting these conditions. After I told the dealership about how long in driving it takes to recreate the problem, the dealership that currently holds the car(jennings Chevrolet in glenview, IL) were able to reproduce the problem. My parents and I went on Feb 16th, 2023 to napleton Hyundai in glenview and bought the car used and after 2 days of driving, my parents were having issues with the car and being able to accelerate. At the time it was diagnosed as a catalytic converter and flex pipe problem. Those items were backordered and were not able to be replaced until 2 months after our original complaint. During those 2 months of waiting, my parents were instructed not to take the highway and not to exceed 40mph. Upon getting the car back on April 26th, it took merely 4-5 more days for the problems to come back again. We also found that on Dec 17th, 2022, the previous owner took the car in with the same problems and after getting an estimate, declined service and took the car back Dec 28th, 2022. The vehicle has been looked at by napleton Hyundai in glenview, jennings chevy in glenview and prior to our ownership, anderson chevy in chicago. Anytime the vehicle exhibits the above mentioned problems, the check engine light does come on and usually in addition to the issues listed above, the car seems to be low/out of oil. At this time, we are told the cars issue is the turbo.

I was driving on the freeway at a speed of approx 70 mph when my check engine light came on with a noticeable decrease in engine power. I took my car to an auto parts store to have the code read and was told it was p0299, which indicates a turbo underboost condition. Upon doing further research and finding other chevy Trax owner forums, I found that this is a common issue in colder weather, and service bulletin 16-na-405 has been released several years in a row by general motors which states that in north America, "some customers may comment that when driving in extremely cold weather conditions (0*f or less), their vehicle experiences one or several of the following conditions: . . . Hesitation on acceleration, malfunction indicator lamp illuminated, stalling condition, and loss of power". I have experienced several of these conditions. The service bulletin also states that there is a special coverage for vehicles with this issue, so I took my Trax to a local chevy dealer. There, I was told that 5 other chevy Traxes had been in for similar issues in that week (there had been a winter storm and temperatures below 0). However, I was told that despite this being a known issue among my year, make, and model, that I would have to pay over $2300 for repairs, even though there several special bulletins and coverages that state this is an ongoing, known issue with my vehicle.

This is the 3rd time this has happened in our vehicle, my second complaint here. I was driving on the interstate at posted limit of 60 when brakes began locking up on me. I got it off to the side of the road, I thought my car was going to flip over the brakes locked down so hard. Service stabilitrak light came on, abs light and traction control light came on. I called the dealership who told me onstar provided the stabilitrak code for it. They told me it would be 160 to have it hooked up to diagnostics, that if it isn't covered by warranty it is a customer assumed cost. My husband replaced the ignition coil and spark plugs thinking that it was the problem, well over 200. 00 for parts. The car is now doing the same thing, but I noticed it happened an incline, then realized it happened the 1st and 2nd time on a decline. I am now wondering if the transmission isn't going out at 47,363 odometer miles. The dealership is no help, they have the actual codes but won't provide them or tell me what's wrong. All I know is that for a 25,000 k car, it's dangerous. I am lucky I was able to maintain control of the vehicle on an interstate highway.

My car brakes locked down while I was driving home from work, at 70 mph, posted speed limit. I got it to the dealership, it started out that it was a broken wire, now they tell me I need a new fuse box and it's not covered. My car was purchased in may of 2020 and has 47k miles on it. The repairs have gone from 412. 00 dollars, not including the tow bill to 719. 00 dollars, not including the tow bill. A fuse box shorting out at two years old, and locking down the brakes is absurd. I work at a trucking company and have 40+ years experience with no tickets or accidents, I don't know how my car didn't flip forward it stopped so hard, it's hard to think about what would have happened to someone with less driving experience than I have trying to control a car in the same instance. Please check on this, if you need to know, my car is now at don hall Chevrolet in ashland ky, ph. 606-618-9616, my car is in their service center.

You be driving down the road in the vehicle will make you feel like you hit somebody which is a big safety issue and the vehicle only has 42,000 miles on it should not be doing that this is a safety issue and needs to be resolved and fix my Chevrolet.

The vehicle looses power and jerks like the transmission is failing. It happens almost always when when going up a hill and also if the air conditioner is turned on the car can barely get out of its own way. I've almost been hit or rear ended several times trying to merge onto the highway because the car is jerking and barely wanting to move. I have now come to the point that I have to turn the ac off in a brand new car for for my own safety and to be able to get up to a normal speed when merging onto the highway. It has been doing this since I first got it but I didn't think there was really much I could do about it. I plan to call the dealer as well to have them look at it. There have never been any warning lights or any diagnostic issues detected but believe me a problem is there! ive recently learned that the issues im having with the jerking and barely any power when trying to accelerate has been a big issue in the Trax since 2016. And I can confirm its still happening! there were also a few instances with a warning light on the dash and it will tell me it can't detect something in the key and I couldn't start the car until I was able to get it to read properly after a few tries of removing the key. If my vehicle is needed for inspection, it is available at anytime!.

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.

I was driving on 95 n and out of the clear blue, my car began to smoke. There was no warning lights on the dashboard that indicated that I needed to check the oil or engine, etc. I pulled over, taking the nearest exit to a gas station. As I turned into the gas station, I heard a loud popping sound. My husband and I looked under the hood and discovered the engine was on fire. My husband and gas station attendant helped get rid of the fire by using a fire extinguisher. My mother and stepdaughter were in the car at the time. While the fire was being extinguished, we ran away from the car and called 911. An auto mechanic discovered the transfer case was broken and thus, empty.

All wheel drive system control module failed casing loss of awd. Dealer confirmed that this module needed to be replace and was not covered under power train warranty. Doing research I found that there is a known issue with some modules and gm has put out special coverage for these modules and their wiring harness. My vehicle was not covered under this special coverage and therefore I was forced to pay out of pocked for this repair.

After having the car for 3 years with only 45000 miles, purchased in 2019 with 7000 miles on it, my car keeps jerking like there is an emission issue. Car takes forever to get up to speed properly when merging onto the interstate. I see there's not s recall for the turbo and the emissions purge valve but I have the notices for special coverages?? when I go to the dealership they say there's nothing they can do without a recall??.

Turbo underboost causes check engine light and sputtering at acceleration.

The non return valve in the intake either broke or fell off( apparently defective) causing my vehicle’s check engine light to come and causing multiple error codes. As a result of this defective part it cause my vehicle to vibrate violently ,the lost of power, and ultimately stalling out nearly causing me getting involved with a very serious accident. As a result of this incident I took my vehicle to the nearest mechanical shop had it diagnosed showing multiple error codes and ultimately revealing a missing part ( a rubber nipple ) which was supposed to be inside of the intake. As stated above the check engine light did come on one week prior to the above conditions as a result of this missing/defective part . I had tried on several occasions with the dealership where I purchased my vehicle from to have the above problem resolved with negative results. My mechanic has confirm with me that this is not the first time he has seen this part missing from other gm vehicles with the same type of engine . I did research about my issue and found numerous reports of this with the same type engine in it since 2012 , also my mechanic was told by one of the service members of the dealership that they were aware of this problem obviously this is not the first time, but they refuse to have my car towed and wanted me to pay an additional $140 again to get the car diagnosed. The car was rendered unsafe to drive due to the fact of the above problems regarding this defective part . This needs to be addressed , there is no doubt in my mind that someone will ultimately die from this continuous problem with these engines with this particular part. I have kept all the parts that were taken off of my vehicle for further inspection especially if the NHTSA wishes to inspect it. I am appealing the decision from general motors concerning this replacement part/ parts that I purchase to render my vehicle safe and operable. Replacement parts are all gm products !.

Common issue with this vehicle but somehow not included with my particular VIN. Ref #17436-special coverage and ref# a162081280.

Antifreeze leak from the turbo. Only 22500 miles. A search revealed that this is a constant and consistent problem. Gm needs to issue a recall.

While stopped and ready to move forward when I press the accelerator the car jerks only from stop to go forward it hesitates. It has the same transmission symptoms as other car I had. I’m very concerned about this issue because a transmission it’s very expensive and can’t afford to fix it due to covid-19 have no money. Considering how much the dealers charge for a diagnostic it’s ridiculously expensive just to check a problem they already know that exists. Please help.

Component premature failure. 1. Purge valve replaced at 61,048 miles 2. Coolant flange and seal replaced at 61,511 miles 3. P0299 indicates problem with turbo charger compromised boost power, - injector control pressure sensor - egr - map - accelerator pedal input I have to pay a expensive diagnostic from the dealer to find out the issue, it’s too expensive to do that now after covid-19 money is scarce.

Keep getting service stabilitrak.

Turbo coolant pipes leaking no check engine light no warning noticed anti freeze on driveway. Seems like there is a lot of this happening. Glad I was home and not far away.

-backup camera sensor sound stopped working around 55k miles -we bought out car brand new three years ago this month, and the turbo unexpectedly cracked somewhere between 68k-69k miles. It's releasing a horrible smell in the car. No check engine light is coming on.

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.

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.

Vehicle makes a chirping noise at idle speed not moving. Only has 9,000 miles.

The shift button sticks when putting the car into park which 1. Does not allow the key to be removed and 2. Allows the shifter to be accidentally moved into gear which is a major safety issue.

The car is spuddering when I drive and, its really unsafe. When I try to drive it basically skips when I try to drive.

My car is literally spuddering technically skipping then, jerking back. It's a safety hazard already almost hit a couple cars because, its jerking I need help trying to get my car changed out. This is a huge defect on the car. Please helpp.

I have had to take my vehicle in several times for repair I am the first owner of this vehicle and it only has 87,000 miles on it. At 87,000 miles I have had to have the valve cover replaced for leaking. I have also had to have an oil pan leak replaced. An oil pan pin gasket replaced. And now my seat belt indicator light is not making noise when the seatbelt is not buckled in. I have tried to drive without a seatbelt on city streets and highways to see if the light would make noise and it does not the light is on on the dashboard but no noise is made to indicate that the seat belt is not on.

On the highway doing 70mph, the transmission won't choose a gear and flips between 5th and 6th while at high rpm. The car looses all power to accelerate and holds gear at 5th while maintaining a 4000-5000 rpm. When I switch to manual to put the car in 6th, the rpm return to idle and the car will not accelerate.

From new there was a sight bump when taking off from stop at 15,000 miles it happens all the time like some one tapped your bumper. It is pronounced and constant. As well as when you stop on a hill the car rolls back like driving a standard making it dangerous for anything behind you. Person animal item. Hill assist does not work. Dealer says no codes nothing to fix. Its warranteed for 60,000 miles, until it breaks or throws a code. . This doesn't make it right or safe. Very terrifying when you take the foot off break and you start rolling back. And the clunk / bump getting louder and more pronounced is terrifyong.

Tl-the contact owns a 2020 Chevrolet Trax. The contact stated while driving at approximately 30 mph, passenger reached for an item in the center console and inadvertently touched the gear shiftier. The vehicle shifted from drive to neutral with no warning lights illuminating. The contact was able to brake and shift back to drive. The contact stated later tested the shiftier while parked in driveway, was able to shift from drive to neutral with a light touch. The vehicle was taken to bical Chevrolet of valley stream (709 w merrick rd, valley stream, NY 11580) where no failure was diagnosed and was informed all vehicle was designed that way. No safety issue. The manufacturer was notified, a case was opened and awaiting a return call. The failure mileage was approximately 900. Aa.

Noticed coolant reservoir was empty. Put it in the shop and it is the turbo that chevy manufactures with the engine. It is leaking. The vehicle is only a 2015 with 34,000 miles, the turbo should not be leaking already. It does need to be replaced. I have gotten all the maintenance done.
