2025 CHEVROLET TRAX Complaints

The backup camera becomes a "fishbowl" along with inability to use radio features. Happens often. There are numerous forum topics via Facebook and Reddit about it happening. Dealership is no help.

The interior of this car includes many chrome accents. Chrome on the steering wheel, center console around the gear shift, and chrome around the touch screen. When driving, the sun reflects off of the chrome like a laser/mirror, impacting the visibility and safety of the driver. I am looking into ways to "black out" the chrome, but it truly is a safety hazard! Chevrolet should provide a "chrome delete" kit and keep chrome on the EXTERIOR, not on the INTERIOR.

I am very unsure what is going on, but when I am in reverse my whole dash loudly rattles and vibrates the whole car. My front door speakers also keep going out with makes me think we may have a wiring issue.

Was making right hand turn which causes vehicle to straddle shoulder for a brief period of time because of how lines are painted. Auto steering resisted the manual steering to get into the lane properly and pulled vehicle onto shoulder further which lead vehicle to be pulled into the ditch.

No cold AC only hot, car temps hit 107 as of 3/19/25 is believed to be the Evaporator system. I have an 8 month old baby this is very dangerous.

Vehicle will “disengage from adaptive cruise control” randomly and hard brake when there is nothing in front of the vehicle

Unknown. The OEM wipers have a large streak in the main field of vision on the drivers side. They only last a FEW weeks with new OEM parts. I’ve tried getting aftermarket replacement s and they don’t fit properly.

I am reporting a safety incident that occurred on [XXX] with my new GM vehicle, a 2025 Chevy Trax with roughly 3000 odometer miles. I was returning to Troy MI from Ann Arbor MI on [XXX] a roughly 50 mile drive, a driver with one passenger. The weather was good, no ice or debris on the roads. We exited the highway and proceeded north through several stoplights. Just before making a right turn into a destination, the vehicle seemed to slam to stop multiple times, causing loss of vehicle control. The abrupt behavior knocked the steering wheel out of driver hands and lurched us forward against the seatbelts. I parked and powered down, giving it a chance to reset. Then continuing to drive a short distance, the vehicle repeatedly abruptly halted at speeds over 30mph as if hitting a wall. There were no warning lights or alerts displayed on the instrument panel, and the vehicle had never behaved abnormally in any way prior to this incident. On Monday morning [XXX] the dealership immediately verified the condition, though offering no speculation to the cause. The service manager reported that upon test drive, the service tech said "he would have gone through the windshield if not belted in.” My passenger and I have between the two of us [XXX] years of experience working in automotive, for GM and suppliers, in production capacities, and for years driving dozens of leased vehicles and GM company cars. Neither of us have ever experienced a vehicle doing anything as dangerous as this brand new Trax did. Had the failure occurred during the highway portion of our drive that day - multiple congested highways [XXX] - we are certain we could have been killed and would have been a lethal danger to the drivers around us. An abrupt halt at high speed would have caused the car to roll and/or spin out of control. At the time of this report, the car is with the dealership with no root cause or repair estimation. We believe this is a transmission issue. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C.

After shifting from reverse to drive, the main dashboard display went completely black and stayed black for the remainder of my drive cycle. During this incident, the infotainment screen remained working as normal. The dashboard display returned to normal operation at the next key-cycle (I waited 10 minutes and started again). Incident occurred February 19, 2025. It was dangerous because I could not see my speed, the engine temperature, or be aware of any warnings (had there been any). The engine appeared to run normally. I haven't driven again to test if the problem reoccurs. I haven't had the opportunity to bring to the dealership to evaluation.

FUEL RAIL SYSTEM - The check engine light came on after only three days/156 miles! OnStar was contacted and a diagnostic was run indicating "The Engine and Transmission System is not performing as expected. An issue has been detected in the Fuel Management System used to maintain control and monitor fuel consumption." I took the vehicle back to the dealership and was advised that the fuel rail system needed to be replaced but the part(s) are not available and there is no projected date of arrival. NOTE: The vehicle has been sitting at the Service Center since December 28, 2024 awaiting necessary repairs.
