2019 CHEVROLET TRAX Complaints

I NOTICED THAT MY EXHAUST SMELLED STRONGLY OF HYDROCARBONS SO I EXAMINED AND PHOTOGRAPHED THE DIP STICK AND THE CRANK CASE OIL WAS A DARK BROWN AND SMELLED OF GASOLINE. THE TRAX HAS 3245 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AND MAY HAVE HAD WASTE OIL DUMPED IN IT WHILE MY WIFE AND I WERE ASLEEP IN OUR HOME WITH A GAS PORT.. THERE ARE SIGNS ON THE LOCAL HIGHWAYS OF ENGINE FAILURE SPEWING OIL ON THE ASPHALT AND WEAKENING THE NEWLY PAVED ROADS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 CHEVROLET TRAX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING AT AN UNKNOWN HIGH RATE OF SPEED, THE BRAKES FAILED TO OPERATE AS NEEDED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE DUE TO COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED UPON IMPACT. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO HER RIGHT HAND AND HER SON SUFFERED A SEVERE HEADACHE AND BRUISED LEG. THE CONTACT NOR HER SON SOUGHT MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE CONTACT STATED INHALED ON KNOWN FUMES OR SMOKE. THE OTHER DRIVER DID NOT SUSTAIN ANY INJURIES. THE CONTACT WAS UNSURE IF A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT COLLISION CENTER AND WAS DESTROYED. THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I WAS TRAVELING IN MY CAR ON THE FREEWAY. TRAFFIC CAME TO A DECELERATION VERY QUICKLY AND SUDDENLY. I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN IN TIME TO AVOID THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, HOWEVER I WAS STRUCK FROM BEHIND. THE DRIVER BEHIND ME MUST HAVE SWERVED ALSO TO TRY TO AVOID HITTING ME DIRECTLY FROM BEHIND. SHE HIT MY REAR DRIVER SIDE. THIS ACTION CAUSED MY CONTROL ARM, STRUT TOWER, ROTOR, WHEEL AND ALL OTHER ASSOCIATED PARTS TO DETACH FROM THE VEHICLE. THIS ALSO CONSEQUENTIALLY CAUSED THE BRAKE HOSE TO BE RIPPED FROM THE ASSEMBLY RESULTING IN POOR BRAKE PRESSURE. I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER WITH HYDRAULIC BRAKES ALONG WITH THE USE OF MY EMERGENCY BRAKE. VERY MINOR INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED FROM THIS INCIDENT, HOWEVER, THE SITUATION COULD HAVE RESULTED IN SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH. I HAVE NOT EXISTING RECALLS FOR THE PARTS THAT FAILED, HOWEVER, THERE IS A RECALL ON THE FRONT CONTROL ARMS ON THIS VEHICLE.

IN THE 2ND MAINTENANCE OF THE VEHICLE AT THE AUTHORIZED DEALER THEY INFORMED ME OF A RECALL ON THE FRONT TRAIN, AFTER THIS THE VEHICLE HAS PRESENTED DIFFERENT INCIDENTS, FROM DIFFERENT SOUNDS TO HIGHER FUEL CONSUMPTION, IT DOES NOT RESPOND IN THE SAME WAY WHEN ACCELERATING, THE GUIDE VIBRATES AND IT DOESN'T STOP THE SAME.THIS HAPPENS ON ANY TYPE OF PAVEMENT. CURRENTLY THE VEHICLE HAS 8,500 KILOMETERS AND THE SITUATION HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED AND IS THE THIRD VISIT TO THE WORKSHOP AFTER WHAT HAPPENED. HELP ME PLEASE I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THE VEHICLE.

POWER STEERING LOCKS WHEN CAR IS PARKED AND TEMPERATURE DROPS BELOW 30 DEGREES. CAR HAS TO BE WARMED UP FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES AND THEN WHEN THE STEERING RELEASES THERE IS A VERY LOUD RUBBING NOISE.

I HAVE HAD MY 2019 TRAX FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR NOW AND I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THE RADIO THE RADIO IN MY CAR HAS STOPPED WORKING AT LEAST 8 OR 9 TIMES (WHEN I AM DRIVING AND WHEN I AM PARKED. WHEN I BRING IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAY THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT UNLESS IT DOES IT FOR THEM. IT GOES OUT WHILE I AM DRIVING ALL THE TIME FOR 5 TO 10 MINUTES AT A TIME AND TODAY WHEN I WENT TO START IT THE WHOLE DISPLAY SCREEN WAS GRAY AND THEN IT WENT TO BLACK. I COULD HEAR THE STATIONS BUT I HAD NO DISPLAY FOR AT LEAST A 1/2 AN HOUR. I AM REALLY NOT HAPPY WITH THIS PROBLEM AND BECAUSE IT DOES NOT DO IT WHEN I BRING IT TO THE DEALER IT DOES NOT HAPPENED. I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH THIS PROBLEM AND I DO NOT KNOW IF I WILL BY ANOTHER CHEVROLET AGAIN. I HAVE CONTACTED CHEVROLET DIRECT AND THEY TELL ME THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT UNTIL IT HAPPENS FOR THEM. BAD BUSINESS IF YOU ASK ME!

CAR WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW AND HAD A MANUFACTURING DEFECT OF THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLANT LINES LEAKING, TO THE POINT THAT THE CAR WOULD NOT GO FORWARD OR BACKWARDS, THIS PROBLEM WAS FIXED UNDER WARRANTY, AND ALSO THE CAR WILL SURGE FORWARD AT OPERATING TEMPERATURE, MAKING IT HARD TO STOP AT RED LIGHTS, AND IN PANIC STOPS, LIKE MY SON HAD RECENTLY CAUSING A MINOR PARKING LOT ACCIDENT, WHILE THE CAR WAS MOVING AT A VERY LOW SPEED.

PURCHASED 2019 CHEVROLET TRAX NEW IN JULY. HAS ONLY 5,734 MILES ON IT. IT IS DECEMBER 2 AND JUST FOUND OUT THE HEATER DOES NOT WORK. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP. DEALER SAID HEATER CASE WAS BAD AND NEEDED TWO PARTS TO FIX, BUT THE PARTS ARE ON BACK-ORDER AND SHOULD TAKE 3-4 WEEKS TO COME IN. INTERNET SEARCH REVEALED MANY BUYERS WITH SAME PROBLEM.

I LEASED A 2019 CHEVY TRAX IN JAN ON THIS YEAR, HAD ABOUT 8,000 MILES ON IT LAST MONTH WHEN THE LOWER CONTROL ARM FAILED WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING IT. THERE IS RECALL FOR PREVIOUS YEARS BUT NOT MY VEHICLE FOR THE LOWER CONTROL ARM. LONG STORY SHORT, I FILED AN INQUIRY CASE WITH GM TO WHICH THEY SAID THE ACCIDENT CAUSED THE FAILURE. IN MY OPINION, THE FAILURE CAUSED THE ACCIDENT AND THANK GOD SHE WAS JUST ACCELERATING AT 3 OR 4 MPH FROM A STOP LIGHT WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. I AM ATTEMPTING TO GET THIS APPEALED BUT HAVING A HARD TIME, THEY SAID TO GET THE RESULTS OF THEIR INQUIRY I NEEDED TO GET A COURT ORDER.
