My engine Light came on said I loss power car felt like I couldn't get up to speed . when I took it to the dealership they said my wastegate is cracked and I need a new turbo assembly my car has 76k miles & of course warranty expired at 75K said it will cost $2600 to repair

While accelerating from a tertiary road (45mph) to a highway (60mph), the engine suddenly produced a loud rhythmic clacking sound that increased in frequency based on rpms. No warnings or check engine light was activated. No increase in temp or change to oil pressure was noted. The vehicle was driven approximately 6 miles with no change in the sound. Vehicle was parked and sat for 2 hours. Vehicle was restarted. Sound continued. Vehicle was driven for approximately .3 miles when a warning came across the dash and an alarm sounded. It indicated no oil and to immediately halt driving. Continued for an additional .3 miles to a safe pull off point and parked the car. The oil level was checked and the dipstick measurement indicated a full oil reservoir. The following day the vehicle was towed to IG Burton Chevrolet in Lewes DE. Due to scheduling the vehicle was not diagnosed for 1 week. Initially the diagnosis was a faulty oil pump. Upon further exploration metal components were found within the oil pump that fell into it from the engine. The service department determined that a full engine replacement was required and would covered under warranty.

The OEM Hankook Dynapro HP2 tires (size 225/60R17 99H, DOT 15MJF BU HA 2523) installed on a 2024 Chevrolet Trax developed premature tread wear and sidewall weakness well before half of their rated 65,000-mile life. At approximately 33,900 miles, one tire suffered a nail puncture in the sidewall and was confirmed irreparable by Discount Tire in Houston, TX. The shop also noted uneven tread wear consistent with early degradation. The condition creates an elevated risk of tire failure or blowout during regular driving. The tires have been properly maintained at recommended pressure, used under normal conditions, and never abused. No TPMS warnings or visual damage were noted before the incident. Hankook Tire America was contacted for warranty support but denied all coverage, citing an OEM exclusion despite earlier correspondence indicating potential incentive coverage. The company declined inspection or goodwill replacement. This outcome raises concerns about premature wear, sidewall durability, and the adequacy of manufacturer support for OEM-supplied tires. The affected tires remain available for inspection if requested by NHTSA.

•The instrument cluster in front of the driver seat went all black. Wouldn't show lane assistance icon, rpms, speedometer, turn signals, warning lights, adaptive speed control. It would show when I clicked the auto stop on/off button if the auto start was turned on or off. Currently is still installed on vehicle. I'm going to the dealership tomorrow after work to see what they will do. •Safety of myself by not knowing what speed I'm going or if any warning lights turn on including the brake warning light or the tcs light. Safety of others is the same as safety for myself. •so far the problem is intermittent for me. It happened for the first time today after I left the store, then got home and restarted the engine and it still was a completely black instrument panel. Then I turned it off and disconnected the battery and reconnected it and the instrument panel currently is working again after that. •the component hasn't been inspected by anyone yet but I'm bringing it to the dealership after I get off work. •there were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problems prior to the failure. I don't know if there were any when it first appeared because the instrument panel is the problem...

The contact owns a 2024 Chevrolet Trax. The contact stated that upon parking the vehicle on a downward angle, there was an abnormal popping sound coming from the engine. There was no warning light illuminated. In addition, the contact stated that the infotainment screen intermittently went blank while driving at various speeds. The contact stated that on one occasion, while driving 50 MPH and entering a highway, there was a banging sound coming from the vehicle, with white smoke coming from the engine. There was no warning light illuminated. Due to the failure, the contact immediately pulled over and had the vehicle towed to an independent mechanic. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and the vehicle was towed to a dealer. While at the dealer, the vehicle was diagnosed with engine failure. The contact was then informed that the engine was on backorder, and the vehicle remained with the dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 19,000.

Purchased the 2024 Trax in April 2024 and immediately received a critical engine and transmission notification the same day we took delivery. Returned the vehicle to the dealership and was told it was an faulty oil sensor issue, which they took care of. The car now has ~9,500 miles and the engine failed yesterday. While accelerating on the freeway, we heard a loud pop, saw smoke coming from the engine and tail pipe, the engine light and oil light came on, and a message on the dashboard said to turn off the engine immediately. The engine seized and began leaking all of the oil/fluid out onto the pavement. We had to pull onto the left shoulder of the freeway because the engine seized, which is extremely dangerous (the tow truck driver was nearly hit trying to load the vehicle onto the flatbed tow truck). The Trax had just been serviced at a local dealership for scheduled maintenance (oil and filter change, tire rotation and 27-point vehicle Inspection) on Friday, August 8th. The car was towed back to the same dealership, at which time we were informed that a rod was loose inside the engine and created a hole, which caused the engine to run on 2 cylinders and fail. The dealer claims the damage is unrelated to the recent oil change and confirmed that they did NOT inspect the engine during the scheduled maintenance appointment. We pay for OnStar and receive monthly vehicle health reports. Besides the critical engine and transmission notice we received when we first picked up the vehicle and a recall notice - which we had resolved - there have been no other messages or symptoms before yesterday's engine failure. The vehicle is still at the dealership and we are waiting to hear how this situation will be resolved.
