2017 CHEVROLET TRAX Complaints

Traveling about 25 mph I took my foot off the accelerator and tried to slow down but the gas pedal was stuck and the brakes were very hard to stop I actually had to throw it in neutral to make it come to a stop our thoughts were gas pedal was still at accelerating when I wanted to stop.

I bought this car from carvana in late July 2020not knowing that the car had an electrical problem. The check engine light came on in September 2020. I bought the car in and i was told a ground needed to be replaced. I got the car fixed and the check engine light ended up turning off. I ended up getting into a car accident in October 2020 because the car was still giving trouble. After getting the car fixed from the accident the check engine light has not come off no matter what repairs are done on the car.the car has been in the shop ever since and carvana won’t take the car back. I have all the documentation (invoices and police reports and insurance claims) since getting the car.

The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Trax. The contact stated while driving 30 MPH, he noticed smoke coming from under the hood. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact pulled over and the vehicle was towed to a dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was notified of an oil leak in the engine compartment. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 96,000.

This is the second vehicle which has the same problem, NO HEAT, we check the anti-freeze and it is just fine. All the internal heat controls are working just fine. The vehicle does not overheat and works just fine.

Driving in cold weather...the car just completely had no power when pressing gas pedal...seems line fuel system froze or turbo freeze.....Car then shut off with No check engine light...no warning light!! Started right back up and still had no acceleration.....very upset with this vehicle and no recalls.....Ive seen many post's with this same issue!!

The contact's wife owns a 2017 Chevrolet Trax. The contact stated when attempting to make a left or right turn when the steering wheel became difficult to turn. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact mentioned that as the failure progresses an abnormal noise was heard when the failure occurs. The contact took the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the steering gearbox to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired but was pending repairs. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 25,600.

Multiple warning lights came on. Check engine, stabilatrak among others. Car got hard to steer and lost power. Very dangerous while driving on a highway. Pulled into a local repair shop because vehicle was unsafe to drive. They ran a diagnostic test and couldn't find anything. They said take it to a dealer. Barely Made it to the dealer. Left car. They said it was fixed. Happened again within a week. Took it back. They had the car for about 4 weeks. They fixed it. Ran fine until Sunday June 27 and did the same thing. Got it home. Had to drive very slow. It is now at the dealer again. This seems to be a problem with this vehicle as seen by researching the symptoms. The fact that it is so dangerous should make this a recall,

Tires, suspension, water pump, water pump belt, thermostat alignment very often change tires because of alignment

THE CAR WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN WITHOUT THE KEY IN CLOSE PROXIMITY. ONE INCIDENT HAPPEND AND THE KEY WAS LEFT IN A FRIENDS CAR. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR TO MY NEXT LOCATION AND ONLY NOTICED WHEN I WENT TO START THE CAR UP AGAIN. THE SECOND INCIDENT HAPPEND AFTER SOMEONE ELSE USED MY CAR. I FOUND THE KEY AT HOME AND HAD TO TAKE THE KEY TO THE CAR TO BE RETRIEVED.

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.
