2015 CHEVROLET TRAX Complaints

THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILED AT 88,000 MILES CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. THIS IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AFTER 80,000 MILES. WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION UNTIL REPLACED, BUT THERE IS A NATIIONWIDE BACKORDER ON THIS PART. IS THIS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT THEY AREN'T TELLING THE CAR OWNERS ABOUT? CAR DOES NOT RUN AS EFFICIENTLY, CONSUMES MORE FUEL THAN PROMISED.

THE AIRBAG SENSOR FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN PASSENGER IS SEATED THE LIGHT "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" IS SHOWN AS IF NO ONE IS SEATED. AIRBAG ISN'T TURNED TO THE ON POSITION. THIS HAPPENS AS SOON AS THE PASSENGER SEATS DOWN, WHILE THE CAR IS STATIONARY OR MOVING. THE SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING LIKE THIS FOR FEW YEARS NOW. WHEN BROUGHT UP THE ISSUE I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY AN EMPLOYE AT THE DEALERSHIP IT WAS BECAUSE THE PASSENGER MIGHT NOT BE SEATED PROPERLY. I FINALLY INSISTED ON HAVING IT CHECK AND TURNED OUT THAT THE DEALER FOUND THE SENSOR FOR THE AIRBAG PASSENGER SEAT WAS IN FACT DEFECTIVE/FAILING. THE DEALER CHARGED ME THE COST OF THE REPAIR (AS I NOW OWN THE CAR) EVEN THOUGH AT THE TIME WHEN THE PROBLEM STARTED THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER THE WARRANTY. THIS PROBLEM DID OCCUR 1 YEAR AFTER I STARTED LEASING THE CAR AND I KNOW NOW THAT MY PASSENGER WAS AT RISK THE WHOLE TIME, DURING AND AFTER THEIR WARRANTY EXPIRED. I HAVE LOOKED INTO SOME FORUM AND REALIZED OTHER PEOPLE HAD THE SAME ISSUES AND WERE TOLD THE SAME THING AT FIRST (THAT THE PASSENGER WASN'T SEATING RIGHT OR LIGHT WEIGHT ETC..) WHEN IN FACT THEIR SENSOR WAS/IS DEFECTIVE.

ON TUESDAY MARCH 20TH, 2018 THE 2015 CHEVROLET TRAX IN WHICH I WAS A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER WAS STUCK FROM BEHIND BY A 2012 DODGE RAM FULL SIZE PICK UP TRUCK. THE SEAT BELT THAT WAS RESTRAINING ME FAILED TO RESTRAIN THE FORWARD MOTION OF MY BODY AT IMPACT. THE SEAT BELT DID NOT TIGHTEN UP, IT ALLOWED MY BODY TO BE PROPELLED FORWARD UNRESTRAINED. I SUFFERED A NECK INJURY AND WAS ALSO DIAGNOSED WITH CONCUSSION TYPE SYMPTOMS AT THE ER. THE VEHICLE WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP WAITING FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO PASS WHEN IT WAS STUCK IN THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE BY THE PICK UP TRAVELING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED.
