CHEVROLET Complaints

This 2019 Chevrolet Trax has had the same dangerous and expensive problem twice: In 2022, when the car had just over 35,000 miles, it started to lose acceleration, especially at highway speeds, slowing it to a dangerously slow pace in traffic. At a later time, the check engine light came on. Culver City Chevrolet replaced the turbo charger under warranty. In late January and early February, 2026, after only about 25,000 miles of use since the repair, the car exhibited similar failure to accelerate on the highway and in local traffic and the check engine light came on. It requires a new turbocharger again at a cost of approximately $3,500. The 2019 Chevrolet Trax is not trustworthy for safety with this recurring issue.

Engine started pouring fuel out in large quantities coating the entire chassis. I was lucky, I had planned to go fishing early but had boat issue. Had I gone early in the dark it would have been catastrophic. Large amounts of gas. Pouring out. I'm lucky, when moving the truck my wife noticed the fuel was leaving a trail down the road and started screaming. I immediately parked the vehicle and I am waiting on support to get to dealer. The fuel system is a known defect on 2025/2026 Silverado but not yet identified for this HD 2500 with same 6.6l engine. Entire cab is full of gas fumes. This was extremely scary.

Vehicle is leaking coolant excessively. Faulty 55513550 water pump (ACDelco/GM OE) commonly causes engine overheating, coolant leaks (often from the weep hole), and unusual noise (squeaking/rumbling) in 1.6L diesel engines for Chevrolet Cruze, Equinox, and GMC Terrain. It may cause cabin heating issues and trigger engine codes. Major Problem #2: Electrical Described by Tony Dubois at Midas (Cinco Ranch location) - Electrical pulse are being received through the wiring causing lights to go on and off. No other manufacturer or repair shop can fix this issue because of the inability to access the coding. This is an Dealership software issue.

It was the XXX recall for the DTC P0442/check engine light code. The dealership said that the recall had been satisfied in 6/2020 by putting a buffer in to separate the 2 lines but not replacing the part. Now the exact same code DTC P0442/check engine light in the exact spot that occurred for the original recall. The dealership originally quoted $5,093, then after me complaining that it is the same recalled problem they dropped the cots to $2384. I believe that is an agreement that the manufacturer should cover this. Of course I will have to pay to get my car but I would like the manufacturer to reimburse me for it seeing it was a manufacturer default. I spoke to the manufacturer they flat out refused to cover it. I obviously disagree. Would like you to pressure them to change their decision.

I was driving and parked the car at the store. After checking out I went to the car got ready to leave and started backing out and the car would not turn to the left at all. I took it to the shop and was told they do not see anything wrong with my car but a steering message is coming up.

El 6 de enero de 2026, minutos después de retirar el vehículo del concesionario tras un servicio de frenos, el sistema de enfriamiento presentó pérdida total de refrigerante debido a una manguera del radiador rota. El vehículo fue regresado inmediatamente y quedó retenido por recomendación técnica de no conducirlo por riesgo de sobrecalentamiento del motor. La condición representa un riesgo de seguridad pública si ocurre durante la conducción, ya que puede provocar pérdida súbita de potencia, detención inesperada del vehículo y posible incidente vial. El 21 de enero de 2026, durante inspección previa a entrega, se detectó una segunda falla: módulo OnStar inoperante (GPS no funcional). Ambos eventos fueron diagnosticados por el concesionario autorizado. La pérdida súbita de refrigerante y posible sobrecalentamiento del motor implica riesgo de falla mecánica repentina, pérdida de potencia o detención del vehículo en circulación, lo que puede causar un incidente vial. El concesionario indicó explícitamente que no debía conducirse el vehículo bajo esas condiciones. Sí. Ambos problemas fueron confirmados por el concesionario autorizado: primero la falla del sistema de enfriamiento, luego la falla del módulo OnStar. El vehículo ha sido inspeccionado por el concesionario autorizado. El fabricante ha sido notificado formalmente y existe un caso abierto con su departamento de atención al cliente. No existían advertencias previas. Las alertas y ventilador excesivo aparecieron minutos después de salir del concesionario el 6 de enero. La falla del GPS se detectó el 21 de enero durante inspección previa a entrega. El vehículo continúa retenido por reparación pendiente y no ha sido devuelto en condiciones seguras o funcionales.

At about 800 miles i noticed ticking from the engine and random and intermittent jerking. Some of which were very severe that felt like someone rear ended me. I took into the dealer with my complaints. They kept my vehicle for 2.5 days and didnt give me a loaner. The my were unable to reproduce the jerking and said the ticking was normal. They showed me the ticking and said its normal and will go away after it warms up. They did a vehicle update and said it will help. They said theres nothing else they will do. I knew something was still wrong but felt like they wouldnt do anything and I couldn't give up my vehicle for days at a time. I continued to drive it and was planning on taking it to a other dealer for a check up. But at about 3500 miles. One day the truck began squealing and grinding. I attempted to drive the truck home and the truck just died on the freeway. Luckily I knew something was wrong so I stayed in the slow lane so it was easy for me to get off. Thats the first time the check engine light came on but it was too late. I had it towed to the dealer and they checked and it was catastrophic engine failure.

Radiator leak from the bottom left corner (driver side). Slow leak over time, no visible damage (per the service department), likely a manufacturing issue. Entire radiator required replacement.

While driving down the road at 60 mph the roof and side airbags deployed on both sides of the Truck with no collision only driving down the road. The vehicle was inspected by GM and they claiming no defect on their side. However Recall N202324251 Roof Rail Air Bag Inflator May Rupture, for other 2016 Chevy Silverado's 2500 exists. This is large safety issue and wondering if the VIN was missed given this happened for the same recall. GM Allegations department has said they will not pay to fix, but didn't provide the reason for the cause of the airbag deployment.

Hard jerking while driving clunks while driving shifts rough really bad when driving changes gears its an automatic stalls at lights runs rough jumps forward has no power at times brakes fail when stopping lunges when breaking Dealership and manufacture know about this Its been to dealership over 9 times same problem
