Summary

I purchased the 2016 Chevy Trax used. The car has 68,000 miles on it. I've had issues with this car since I purchased it. The check engine light came on once again with same code as always P0420. I brought it to a Chevy dealer and they finally replace the catalytic converters. Today I get a letter from Chevrolet stating my cars engine 1.4L may have a condition that could cause the turbocharger to fail due to sticking wastegate actuator linkage. Shouldn't this be a recall? No right now it says to keep this letter safe and if anything happens to engine within the 10 years after car was made or 120,000 miles then they will pay for repair. I would think it would be cheaper to fix the part now then replace everything that gets damaged after the fact no?

I Brought This Car As Is Bical Auto Mall. (The Dealership), I Took The Car To Get Checked Out The First Time And It Had A Weak Battery And I Had To Constantly Get A Boost To Drive My Car 2 Weeks Later I Was Advised To Go To A Gm Dealer Because My Engine Light Was On, The Mechanic Explained Something Was Wrong With The Valve And It Was A Leakage. A Few Day Later My Engine Light Turned On Again And I Had The Same Problem But Only This Time The Car Started Surging And Stalling Out Every Time I Stopped.

Summary

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE CHEVY TRAX WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I SCANNED THE CAR WHEN SHE GOT HOME. CODE WAS P0420 FOR LOW CONVERTER EFFICIENCY. I PUT THE CAR UP ON MY CAR LIFT AND FOUND THAT THE FLEX PIPE BEHIND THE CONVERTER WAS SEPARATED MOST LIKELY FROM RUST. THIS IS ALLOWING EXHAUST GASSES INTO THE CAR AND IT IS DANGEROUS. THIS IS HAPPENING ON MANY CHEVY TRAX AND CHEVY CRUZ VEHICLES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR. SHE HAS OWNED IT 4.5 YEARS AND HAS ONLY 28,000 MILES ON IT. WE PURCHASED A MAJOR GUARD WARRANTY FROM GM WHEN WE BOUGHT THE CAR BUT THEY DENIED THE REPAIR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE PAINT IS ALSO PEELING OFF OF THE HOOD BUT THEY SAY THAT IS NOT COVERED EITHER EVEN THOUGH THIS IS HAPPENING TO MANY GM CARS.

Summary

I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR THREE YEARS AND HAVE HAD SO MANY ISSUES WITH IT THAT I COULD'VE PAID IT OFF BY NOW IF I WASN'T CONSTANTLY FIXING IT. I HAVE REPLACED THE TURBO INTERCOOLER BECAUSE IT FROZE LAST WINTER AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL THE PART CAME IN BUT IT COULDN'T GO OVER 10MPH SO IT WAS UNUSABLE TO ME. I HAVE ALSO REPLACED THE ENTIRE TURBO ONCE WHEN IT BLEW UP FROM AN OIL LEAK THAT I WAS UNAWARE OF AS I AM NOT VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE WITH VEHICLES. NOW WE HAD TO REPLACE ANOTHER PART ON THE TURBO BECAUSE IT WAS LEAKING OIL AGAIN AND THE MECHANIC SAID WE COULDN'T REPLACE THE WHOLE TURBO RIGHT AWAY AS WE HAD TO TRY SMALL FIXES FIRST TO BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. REPLACING THIS PART DID HELP AND THERE IS STILL OIL LEAKING FROM THE OIL CAP AND THE SMELL MAKES DRIVING THE VEHICLE UNBEARABLE ESPECIALLY WITH A FOUR YEAR OLD. WHEN WE WERE STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT WE NOTICED THAT THERE WAS DARK SMOKE AND FUMES COMING OUT OF THE VENTS SO WE IMMEDIATELY WENT HOME. HOWEVER, NO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND THE CODE SAYS IT'S THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER SO I AM GOING TO HAVE TO STICK MORE MONEY INTO THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD SO MANY ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE AND IT'S NOT EVEN THAT OLD.

ONE MORNING WHEN GOING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE POWER STEERING WOULD NOT WORK AND THE POWER STEERING INDICATOR LIGHT WOULD REMAIN ON. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. AFTER A COUPLE OF HOURS, I WOULD START THE VEHICLE AND THE POWER STEERING WOULD WORK WITH NO ISSUES. THE NEXT MORNING, THE SAME THING HAPPENED, AND I DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE TO PAY $1,600.00 TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE STEERING SYSTEM - EVERYTHING: STEERING COLUMN, COMPUTER/ELECTRICAL, ALIGNMENT, ETC. MY CHEVY TRAX IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AND HAS 25,000 MILES. I KEEP IT REGULARLY SERVICED ONLY WITH THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE ONLY POSITIVE IS THAT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING, BUT COULD HAVE BE VERY DANGEROUS IF SO.

VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW. IN LESS THAN 3 YEARS THE PAINT ON THE HOOD HAD A LARGE PATCH OF PAINT FLAKED OFF TO THE METAL. I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. WITHIN THE LAST YEAR, THERE ARE MORE PLACES ON THE HOOD AND NOW A LARGER PATCH OF PAINT ON THE TRUNK THAT HAS BUBBLED AND /OR STARTED PEELING OFF. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY BEEN WASHED BY HAND WITH A HOUSEHOLD HOSE AND GENTLE CLEANER MADE FOR CARS. AS A MATTER OF FACT, THE ORIGINAL PAINT PEEL RESULTED FROM TRY TO RINSE THE VEHICLE WITH PLAIN WATER. DUE TO ALL OF THIS WE ARE GOING TO HAVE THE WHOLE VEHICLE REPAINTED AT LESS THAN 4 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP . THER IS ALSO AN UNDIAGNOSED ELECTRICAL ISSUE. THE RADIO AND PHONE CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL ARE NOT FUNCTIONAL AND WE ARE UNABLE CONNECT ANY DEVICES USING BLUETOOTH. ALSO TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT IS MISSING FROM THE DISPLAY

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.

EVENTUALLY I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE DOOR LOCK UP FROM THE TOP OF THE CAR. WE WERE STATIONARY AT THE HOUSE AFTER LEAVING THE PARK. IF THIS CAR WAS TO HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE I AM NOT SURE WHAT WE WOULD HAVE DONE. OUR BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY ENDED IN JUNE WHICH WAS 3YR 36,000 MIKES. HOWEVER WE DID PURCHASE A 3RD PARTY EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH MAKES ME PAY A $200 DEDUCTIBLE. I MADE CONTACT WITH CHEVROLET, HERE IS THE CLAIM NUMBER [XXX] THE SENIOR ADVISOR IS JOHN. I BELIEVE THAT CHEVROLET HAS AN INTEGRITY ISSUE WITH DOING THE RIGHT THING ESPECIALLY A SEVERE SAFETY FLAW WITH THERE POWER DOOR LOCKS. THE SERVICE ADVISOR AT HALEY CHEVROLET IN MIDLOTHIAN VA SAID THAT THE DOOR LOCKS JUST STOPPED WORKING FOR NO REASON.

CHEVY SUCKS. BOUGHT MY 2016 CHEVY TRAX IN SEPTEMBER 2015. IT'S BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. AT THE 59,000 MILE MARK, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND THE ENGINE POWERS DOWN WITH NO WARNING, ESC LIGHTS COMES ON AND THE CAR LOSES ACCELERATION. TOOK IT TO 1 DEALER WHO KEEPS IT FOR 4 WEEKS WHEN THEY FIGURE IT'S A MODULE. I BROUGHT IT TO MY REGULAR MECHANIC WHO HAS A RELATIONSHIP WITH ANOTHER CHEVY DEALER SO I COULD SAVE ON LABOR, THEY HAVE IT FOR ANOTHER 4 WEEKS. AND STILL WITH THE SAVINGS, IT COST ME $1120 FOR THIS REPAIR ON TOP OF THE $218 I PAID FOR THE ORIGINAL DIAGNOSTIC. I FINALLY GET THE CAR BACK, HAVE IT FOR A DAY AND IT'S THE SAME PROBLEM! THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY, AND STILL THE PROBLEM IS STILL OCCURRING AND THE DEALER CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG. THIS IS CHEVY'S [XXX] PRODUCT! NOTHING IN THE NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR OF CAR OWNERSHIP SHOULD HAVE ME SHELLING OUT ALL THIS MONEY WHEN I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW AND HAVE HAD IT FOR 3 1/2 YEARS. I'VE MADE 3 CAR PAYMENTS IN THE LAST 90 DAYS AND STILL DON'T HAVE A CAR TO DRIVE. I WILL NEVER BUY A CHEVY AGAIN!

THEY HAVE GREATER WORKING KNOWLEDGE OF TIRE MANUFACTURES THAN THE PUBLIC DOSE, SO I HOLD THEM RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR BUSINESS PRACTICES. SAFETY HAS BEEN CASTED A SIDE FOR PROFIT. THE MANUFACTURE CONTINENTAL WILL NOT WARRANTY THEIR TIRES WITH THE PURCHASER. MY VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED 7/7/2016 NOW AT 10,200 MILES IN 10 MONTHS WITH A TIRE BLOWOUT 4/12/2017. ROAD CONDITIONS, CLEAR DAY TEMPERATURE 60'S 6:50AM ON A MAJOR HWY 141 IN EARTH CITY MO. THE TRAFFIC LIGHT, CLEAN HIGHWAY NO REASON NOT TO SEE DEBURI ON THE ROAD. VEHICLE HAS TIRE SENSOR CAPABILITIES, NEVER INDICATED LOW TIRE PRESSURE. INDICATION NEVER HAPPEN UNTIL AFTER THE TIRE BLEW. I NOTICED ROAD NOISE, SO I CHANGED LANES, IT DID NOT GO AWAY, BUT NOW THE TIE SENSOR ON THE DASH SHOW THE TIE INDICATOR. I DROVE OFF THE HWY TO CHANGE THE TIRE. IT WAS OBVIOUS THE TIRE BLEW OUT AS A DEFECTIVE TIRE. HOW COULD I CAUSE THE INSIDE WALL BURSTING. ELCO DEALER SHIP WOULD NOT WARRANTY THE TIRE BASED ON THEIR DENIAL OF A EXTENDED WARRANTY I HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW TIRE WHICH I NOW HAVE NO FAITH OF BEING SAFE FOR $136.00. WITH ONLY 10,200 MILE AND 10 MONTHS OLD I CAN NOT FEEL SAFE WITH THIS TYPE OF PERFORMANCE. I COULD HAVE LOST CONTROL AND KILLED OTHERS NOT TO MENTION MY SELF. HOW CAN BOTH COMPANIES DENY KNOWLEDGE OF SUCH A PRODUCT DEFECT WHEN THEY PROPOSE YOU BUY A EXTENDED WARRANTY. SOUNDS LIKE THEY HAVE WORKING KNOWLEDGE OF THIS TIRES PERFORMANCE NOT KNOWN BY THE PURCHASER. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT MY TIRES ON THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. I'M WORRIED ABOUT FUTURE PERFORMANCE.

EVERYTHING ON THE INSIDE WAS DARK EXCEPT THE LIGHTS ON THE HEATER/AC UNIT AND THE HEATER WORKED FINE. SINCE THEN, I HAVE GONE INTO MY GARAGE ON THREE MORE OCCASIONS TO DRIVE MY NEW 2016 CHEVY TRAX ONLY TO FIND THE SAME PROBLEM - NO ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED, WAS 11/20/16, 2 WEEKS AFTER THE FIRST TIME. I DROVE TO AND FROM MY HOUSE TO A LOCAL RESTAURANT ABOUT 5 MILES AWAY FOR DINNER WITH NO DASHBOARD LIGHTS, ONSTAR SERVICE, BACK UP CAMERA, RADIO OR PHONE SERVICE. AFTER WE GOT HOME THAT EVENING I KEPT CHECKING MY CAR TO SEE IF IT WAS WORKING YET AND SEVERAL HOURS LATER THE LIGHTS FINALLY CAME ON WHEN I OPENED THE DRIVER'S DOOR.
