SAME WEEK THE ANTI THEFT ALARM WENT OFF AND NO ONE WAS NEAR THE CAR. ALSO SAID I DIDN'T HAVE THE CORRECT KEY, WHICH I DID AS I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR WITH IT. RADIO SOMETIMES TAKES LONGER THAN NORMAL TO TURN ON... SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF ELECTRICAL ISSUES.

I WRECKED MY CAR AND THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOYED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS WORRIED WHY THEY DIDN'T THE WRECK TOTALLED MY TRAX. I WAS A MAIN HIGHWAY.

MY CAR LOSES POWER AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE UP HILLS, IN THE COLD ON THE FREEWAY IN THE MORNING (6:00AM PST). CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. IT HAS BEEN TO THE SHOP 6 TIMES SINCE FEB. 2019 FOR THE SAME ISSUE OF CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, LOSS OF POWER, EMISSIONS-AIR LEAKS WHICH CAUSE LOSS OF POWER. I WILL HAVE TO UPLOAD DOCUMENTS AT A LATER DATE AS I DO NOT HAVE THEM TODAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET TRAX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING SEIZED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A RECALL INSPECTION PERFORMED FOR THE SAME FAILURE AT JACK SCHMITT CHEVROLET OF O'FALLON (127 REGENCY PARK, O'FALLON, IL 62269, (618) 628-2500). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AT THAT TIME. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL MONDAY TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE AGAIN AND THEY HAD NO LOANER VEHICLES. THE CONTACT EVEN CHECKED WITH ANOTHER DEALER AND WAS INFORMED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE ORIGINAL DEALER TO CLOSE OUT THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,749.

I'VE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS FROM THIS ENGINE. I BOUGHT BRAND NEW IN 2016. 2017 I HAD TO HAVE THE WHOLE RADIO SYSTEM REPLACED AS IT QUIT. 2018, I WAS DRIVING AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON . TOOK TO SHOP AND TWO SPARK PLUGS AND IGINITION COIL WAS BAD AT 32,000 MILES. 2019, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN JUNE AND I LOSS POWER, ENGINE MADE HIGH SQUEAL NOISE AND IT WAS JUST SPUTTERING. TOOK TO SHOP AND THEY SAID IT WAS CAMSHAFT SEAL AND COVER SO THAT WAS REPLACED AND OF COURSE WARRANTY WAS OUT. JUST THIS MONTH, DEC 2019, IT STARTED DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN AND THIS TIME THEY SAID IT WAS THE CAMSHAFT COVER AGAIN (WHICH THEY WOULD COVER UNDER SHOP WARRANTY) AND IT WAS ALSO THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND GASKET. WHICH ENDED UP COSTING ME $500. FOR A CAR THAT IS ONLY 3 YRS OLD. I'VE PAID OUT $1500 IN REPAIRS BECAUSE FOR SOME REASON IT ONLY HAPPENS AS SOON AS WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. THIS IS NOT RIGHT.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I CRANKED THE CAR UP. WENT TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND AT FIRST IT WAS A BAD O2 SENSOR. THAT WAS FIXED AND TWO DAYS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS BACK ON, TOOK IT BACK IN AND NOW I HAVE TO REPLACE THE AIR INTAKE SYSTEM ON A VEHICLE WITH RIGHT AT 27,000 MILES ON IT. BOTH TIMES, I KEEP GETTING DIAGNOSTIC ALERTS FROM ONSTAR TELLING ME TO CHECK THE ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM AND THE STABILITRAK CONTROL SYSTEM.

ON 11/23/19 I'M JUST LEAVING HOME EARLY ON SATURDAY MORNING AND ON TIMAQUANA RD WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY 2016 TRAX LOCKED UP ON ME AND MY CHEVROLET TRAX MOTOR JUST STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD , THIS COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL AND THANK GOD I DIDN'T GET CRUSHED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON AS IF IT WAS ELECTRIC PROBLEM

WHEN I GET ON HIGHWAY DOING FASTER SPEED MY CAR IS VERY LOUD INSIDE LIKE A BAD AIR LEAK COMING FROM BACK SOMEWHERE. THIS IS VERY ANNOYING CAN'T USE BLUE TOOTH PHONE BECAUSE YOU CANNOT HEAR TO HAVE A CONVERSATION OR HEAR THE RADIO AT A NORMAL VOLUME BECAUSE IT IS SO LOUD. HAD I KNOWN THIS I WOULD HAVE NEVER BOUGHT THIS VECHICLE.

FRONT END POPS WHEN I MAKE SHARP TURNS, ENGINE HAS A DISTINCTIVE MISS AND BACK BRAKES DO NOT HOLD
