2018 CHEVROLET TRAX Complaints

-BACKUP CAMERA SENSOR SOUND STOPPED WORKING AROUND 55K MILES -WE BOUGHT OUT CAR BRAND NEW THREE YEARS AGO THIS MONTH, AND THE TURBO UNEXPECTEDLY CRACKED SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 68K-69K MILES. IT'S RELEASING A HORRIBLE SMELL IN THE CAR. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS COMING ON

THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL CLUTCH MODULE SHORTED OUT. VERY EXPENSIVE PART AND IS NOT COVERED IN THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY IT SHOULD BE . WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY AND MESSAGE CAME ON TO HAVE THE ALL WHEEL DRIVE SERVICED. SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PUT ANY MONEY INTO A TWO YEAR OLD VEHICLE THAT ONLY HAD 38,653 MILES ON IT.

I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW WITH 49 MILES ON IT. FROM THE FIRST DAY IT HAS BEEN GIVING ME A SERVICE REAR CAMERA SYSTEM ERROR, THE ENTIRE DASH WILL COMPLETELY BLACKOUT ON ME AND TAKES A WHILE TO COME BACK ON AND MY CAR WAS SLIPPING WHILE SHIFTING FROM PARK TO REVERSE AND REVERSE TO DRIVE. WITH ALMOST 65K MILES ON IT, I STARTED TO GET A SERVICE AWD, SERVICE POWER STEERING WITH A FAULTY POWER STEERING ISSUE WHILE DRIVING, MY CAR RANDOMLY WON'T START, DESPITE THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR ALL BEING GOOD. I WAS RECEIVING EVERY ERROR CODE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT RANDOMLY ON AND SHUTS OFF, WHEN I HAD THE CODES CHECKED, I HAD NEVER SEEN SO MANY ERROR CODES IN MY LIFE! LOW VOLTAGES, MAIN SYSTEM ERRORS, THE WHOLE BIT. NOW MY CAR THINKS I AM TRYING TO STEAL IT AS THE SERVICE THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM LIGHT IS ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 CHEVROLET TRAX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE'S DOOR LOCKS WOULD UNLOCK AND LOCK SUDDENLY. THE FAILURE OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THEY ENTERED THEIR VEHICLE AND WHILE STARTING, THE VEHICLE'S HORN SUDDENLY ACTIVATED AND CONTINUED TO MAKE NOISE FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 MINUTES AFTER THE CONTACT HAD REPEATEDLY PRESSED THE HORN IN HOPES TO DEACTIVATE IT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THEY STARTED THE VEHICLE AFTERWARDS, THE FAILURE REOCCURRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EMITTING A BURNING ORDER FROM THE HEATING/AC COMPARTMENT. THE CONTACT HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER (SERPENTINI CHEVROLET OF WILLOUGHBY HILLS 2810 BISHOP RD, WILLOUGHBY HILLS, OH 44092; (440) 701-5417) WHO WERE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY OR DUPLICATE THE ISSUES. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE AND OPENED A CASE REGARDING THE MATTER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,600.

MY 2018 CHEVY TRAX DASHBOARD WENT BONKERS. THE DIGITAL SPEEDOMETER ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF DASH WENT BLACK THEN AS I WAS DRIVING ALL THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS, OIL, ENGINE, DOOR OPEN, TIRE, ABS, BRAKE, BATTERY, STARTED GOING ON AND OFF, AND THE ANALOG SPEEDOMETER DIAL WOULD WOULD GO ALL THE UP AND ALL THE DOWN AND THEN GO BLACK. THIS IS VERY SCARY WHEN DRIVING, BECAUSE YOU CAN'T TELL HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING. IT HAS HAPPENED ON REGULAR SURFACE ROADS AND THE HIGHWAY. I WAS USING BLUETOOTH, WITH MY PHONE PLUGGED IN TO THE CAR LIGHTER THING AND A USB AND I HAD GOOGLE MAPS AND SPOTIFY GOING THROUGH MY CAR RADIO. THIS HAPPENED IN OCTOBER 2020 AND THE RADIO WAS REPLACED. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON NOVEMBER 30 2020. I RECORDED A VIDEO AT A CORNER NEAR MY WORK. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR DECEMBER 3. AT MY APPOINTMENT, I SHARED THE VIDEO WITH THE SERVICE PERSON TO PROVE I AM NOT A CRAZY, HYSTERICAL PERSON. THE SERVICE TECH COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE AND EVEN HAD THEIR TECH TALK TO GM ENGINEERING TO DISCUSS THE ISSUE. I GOT MY CAR BACK ON JANUARY 4, 2021, BUT IT WAS NOT FIXED. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR.

AUGUST 2020 AT ABOUT 20K MILES TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR OIL CHANGE AT DEALER. ADDED RECOMMENDED TIRE ROTATION. EVERYTHING IS FINE. I INQUIRE ABOUT THE RECAL ON THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS AND PARTS WILL BE ORDERED AND SHOULD BE CALLED. NO CALL! MAY 2020 - TAKE CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP FOR CODE REGARDING THE TURBO CHARGER (WHICH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE WASTEGATE WAS STICKING) THEY ALSO WERE FINALLY ABLE TO INSTALL LOWER CONTROL ARM PARTS THAT THEY NEVER CALLED ME ABOUT. THIS IS ABOUT 30K MILES. DEC 31, 2020 AT ABOUT 36K MILES I TAKE IN FOR OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION. I AM NOW BEING TOLD MY LEFT FRONT WHEEL STUD IS CROSS THREADED AND I HAVE UNEVEN WEAR AND REQUIRE AN ALIGMENT. I'M ASSUMING THEY DID NOT ALIGN MY CAR WHILE INSTALLING THAT PART FROM THE RECALL AND THEIR TECH CROSS THREADED THE STUD ON MY WHEEL. I WILL BE GOING BACK TOMORROW BECAUSE THIS WAS NOT A PROBLEM UNTIL THEY INSTALLED THE NEW CONTROL ARM WHICH WOULD REQUIRE THEM TO TAKE THE TIRE OFF. I'M VERY FRUSTRATED BECAUSE THEY WERE ALREADY TRYING TO PUT THE BLAME BACK ON ME, HOWEVER, THEY ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT HAVE MOVED THE TIRES. I TRULY HOPE GUARANTY CHEVROLET IN SANTA ANA, CA DO RIGHT BY ME AND TAKE CARE OF SOMETHING THAT COULD HAVE ONLY BEEN DONE ABOUT 6K MILES AGO AT THERE SERVICE SHOP.

IT HAPPENED 3RD TIMES NOW. FIRST 2 HAD BEEN REPLACMENTS AND NOW I HAVE TO RETURN IT TO FIX IT FOR 3RD AIRBAG

THE SERVICE AWD DRIVE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON 26,206 MILES>HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING. INTERMITTENT

WE PURCHASED OUR 2018 CHEVY TRAX JANUARY 2018. IN APPROX. JULY WE WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FACTORY RECALL FOR THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS. UP UNTIL THIS POINT WE HAVE BEEN BRINGING OUR TRAX IN FOR OIL CHANGES AND TIRE ROTATIONS TO DALE EARNHARDT JR CHEVROLET. THE DAY I DROPPED OFF MY TRAX FOR THE RECALL INSPECTION I WAS TOLD THAT BOTH MY FRONT TIRES WERE IN EXTREME HAZARDOUS CONDITION AND THEY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I DECLINED PURCHASING NEW TIRES AT THAT POINT BECAUSE I WANTED A SECOND OPINION. REASON BEING HOW COULD THEY BECOME "EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS" IN SUCH A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. AS IT BE UPON INSPECTION BOTH OF MY LOWER CONTROL ARMS WERE FOUND TO BE FAULTY. MY VEHICLE WAS KEPT FOR APPROX. 6 WEEKS FOR REPAIR. DURING THAT TIME I SPOKE WITH SEVERAL DIFFERENT TIRE DEALERSHIPS REGARDING THE IMPACT THE CONTROL ARMS WOULD HAVE ON THE WEAR OF MY TIRES AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM CONCURRED THAT IT WOULD ABSOLUTELY HAVE A IMPACT ON THE WEAR OF MY TIRES. AT THAT POINT I HAD JUST ALITTLE OVER 40,000. PER THE TIRE EXPERTS NEW TIRES ARE EXPECTED TO LAST AT LEAST 50,000 MILES. I TALKED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE COST BUT OFFERED ME A DISCOUNTED RATE. I THEN OPENED A CASE WITH GM AND WAS TOLD GM WOULD NOT COVER THE COST OF THE TIRES EITHER. I AM TRYING TO FIND OUT WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING THIS DECISION. IF THE RECALL CLEARLY STATES A FAULTY CONTROL ARM 'COULD' CAUSE YOUR TIRES TO TOE OUT AND CREATE ISSUES WITH YOUR TIRE TREAD WHICH MINE DID WHY IS GM NOT COVERING THE COST OF THE TIRES. WOULD I HAVE HAD TO HAVE A CRASH TO HAVE THEM REPLACED?

ON 2/17, I PURCHASED A 2018 CHEVY TRAX. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON 12/20/19 THEREFORE I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DIAGNOSTICS REVEALED TWO PROBLEMS BUT ONLY ONE WAS COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. PROBLEM 1. TURBO LEAKING AT JOINT TO INLET COUPLER (COVERED). PROBLEM 2. OXYGEN SENSOR DEFECTIVE (NOT COVERED). I HAVE 63,676 MILES ON MY TRAX AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 60,800 MILES ON THE OXYGEN SENSOR. MY CAR IS ONLY 1,400 MILES OVER THE WARRANTY AND I AM EXPERIENCING SO MUCH PROBLEMS. ALSO AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING THE VISUAL SCREEN GOES BLANK THEREFORE THE RADIO AND REVERSE CAMACA DOES NOT WORK. THERE WAS ALSO A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE AND THE DEALER TOOK CARE OF IT FREE OF CHARGE. I AM SO DISAPPOINTED ABOUT MY VEHICLE BECAUSE IT IS NOT EVEN TWO YEARS OLD YET AND SO MUCH PROBLEMS. THIS CAR MUST BE A LEMON.
