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.

Id number 19v312.

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!.

Went to dealership for oil change. Told to pull car up into bay. When turning car back on the dashboard lite up claiming issue with power effecting steering and brakes. They performed a diagnostic test and found no issue. Told me if it happens again let them know and I should pull over to the side of the road, with my flashers on, and turn the car off which would trip it. I only leased this car in March 2019 with 79 miles. There has already been one recall on this make and model.

I have been sent a pretty egregious recall by gm. I made an appointment with the dealer I purchased the car from. Dealership told me they had to order the part. It's been a month. When I went to the dealership, they said the part was not in. Meanwhile, my friend had her recall fixed there. This is regarding a joint in one or both front lower control arms that can separate your tires from the vehicle. Pretty scary, but I am getting nowhere with the Chevrolet people. I call every day. How can you help me ?.

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.

When driving down to road I feel like I'm sifting in the other person lane. I have had it looked they say it not my tires. Peope blow when I get over it same like I'm going run off the road.

Bought car on 6-26-2019 . While driving in city going slow seemed fine. Got on freeway car pulling off right side of road , have to hold consistent hold to the left on steering wheel while driving. Called salesman that night ,was told to bring car back next morning. Got there 9:00 am 7-27-2019 . They took it back and made me wait . They said they realigned it and rotated tires. Said to drive it 500 miles and see if it gets better. Drove 500 miles no change. Took it back on 7-5-2019. Dealership kept it 4 days. Said they test drove it and said it was road crown. Took it home no change. Took it to tire discounters on 8-16+2019 . Confirmed pulling to right. Said alignment is good but still has pull to right. Took it to jerry haggs gm dealership. They refused to check it. All this time the back doors don't shut flush and the seals leak the original dealership refused to do anything about the doors the car is now at mike castucci gm dealership in milford ohio it's been there since 9-5-2019. They are trying to replace the back door seals to try to flush doors with the body but hasn't checked front end yet. You have to hold the steering wheel to the left with a constant tug. Driving in rain is worse . Haven't owned car long enough to see what snow is like. The car was sitting in driveway during a rain storm when doors leaked. Car constantly drifts right while driving speed limit.

Bought car on 7-26-2019. Car drifting off the road to the right back doors don't shut flush water leaks . Car in shop 7-27-2019. No fix problem still the same. Back in shop 8-5-2019 to 8-8-2019. No improvement . Took car to another dealership on 9-5-2019 to 9-12-2019. Found door molding bad replaced them . Doors still not flush. Car is still pulling off the road to the right. Going back in shop on 9-23-2019 for same problem water leaks happen while sitting still pulling happens all the time no improvement.

Been at shop 4 times for steering problem. Can't keep car driving straight.

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.

Chevy sucks. Bought my 2016 chevy Trax in September 2015. It's been well maintained. At the 59,000 mile mark, the steering wheel locks up and the engine powers down with no warning, esc lights comes on and the car loses acceleration. Took it to 1 dealer who keeps it for 4 weeks when they figure it's a module. I brought it to my regular mechanic who has a relationship with another chevy dealer so I could save on labor, they have it for another 4 weeks. And still with the savings, it cost me $1120 for this repair on top of the $218 I paid for the original diagnostic. I finally get the car back, have it for a day and it's the same problem! they replaced the battery, and still the problem is still occurring and the dealer cannot figure out what is wrong. This is chevy's crappy product! nothing in the normal wear and tear of car ownership should have me shelling out all this money when I bought it brand new and have had it for 3 1/2 years. I've made 3 car payments in the last 90 days and still don't have a car to drive. I will never buy a chevy again!.

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.

While driving at around 40 miles the 2016 chevy Trax loss power to 5-10 mph, the steering wheel got stiff, the transmission and engine got idle. I took it to the chevy dealer.

I noticed about 7-8 similar complains is different websites. I think somebody from NHTSA should look at this issue. Driving a car with these problems can result in major accidents and potentially death.
