2017 CHEVROLET TRAX Complaints

The Blower Motor Resistor and Harness are faulty causing smoking and short circuit instead of blowing a fuse. Im afraid this could cause the car to catch on fire. I opened the area where the resistor is located and the equipment reads "MADE IN JAPAN". This makes me concerned that there may be other areas of the electrical system that have not been tested properly for safety.

I purchased this 2017 Chevrolet Trax in Dec 2020 with 36748 miles on it. In I believe 2022 I had to have the front driver side tire rode replaced as it was broken at just a little over 50,000 miles on it. Now at 73,027 miles I had to have both sway bars links replaced as they both were broken as well. Upon further inspection from dealership the also found the left front suspension strut needs replacing. I heard noises from front end when turning with popping and creaking as turning. Now after replacing sway bars I have more popping and creaking coming from front end but not just when turning now it's most of the time now and the steering is pulling at different times. It does not feel safe to drive this vehicle anymore. No light came on dash to warn of any issues at all. I have paid for most repairs on the vehicle, but these Costs are adding up more and more.

While driving git a warning light and after a few days there was a loud noise coming from the motor , took it to the dealer told me the motor is broken , car only has 71000 miles on it .

Resistor and resistor harness for HVAC continuously fail. About to be on fourth repair as they continue to short out and begin to melt, almost catching fire. Confirmed by dealer previously that it had shorted it out and melted the wiring harness to the resistor. Only symptom prior to failure is smelling hot and then it abruptly shorts out and shuts off and produces small bit of smoke.

Are the super boost on my vehicle is not working and I have took in it to the shop and got a Netflix and they say the boost is brand new, but the valves were exchanged out and still having check engine light stating it’s the boost in the vehicle when going above 60 it loses power and is not accelerate higher

Because of the recall I believe my 2017 Chevy trax has had more wear and tear than normal It's makes it harder to drive the freeway my breaks are going out quicker than normal and there's a screeching sound coming from beneath my car

12/30/2022 - Check engine light came on. Vehicle struggled to accelerate. No openings available at the mechanics due to holiday. This vehicle is being used for business and travels frequently. 01/03/2023 - Mechanic diagnosed during my scheduled oil change. Check engine light - PO299 popped up (lack of power to turbo charge) check all vacuum lines and clamps all good. If check engine light comes on recommend taking to dealer. 01/05/2023 - Check engine light and StabiliTrax light came on, vehicle wobbled/shook a lot while driving at an intersection. I attempted to drive safely in traffic as the car shook. Returned to the mechanic and it was diagnosed. Valve cover removed and replaced. 01/08/2023 - Check engine light came on while I was getting ready for a long trip. I pulled my car on the side of the road and called for a ride. At the end of the day, I picked up my car and safely drove home on Sunday evening. 01/09/2023 - Contacted Chevrolet dealer (175 Wiwoole St, Hilo, HI 96720) direct. The next diagnostic testing available is two months out: 03/06/2023.

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.

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.
