2016 CHEVROLET TRAX Unknown Or Other Problems

I have had replaced the valve cover 4 times already about ever 3 months or so and it is starting to chirp and act up by lagging and jumping on acceleration. My mother is [XXX] old and does not drive it hard or in excess. The 1st was in summer of 2024 the 2nd was December 2024 3rd was april 2025 4th November 2025 and it just started chirping again & its jyst now February. This is absolutely ridiculous. Ther are so many more things wrong with this car. Most of those are on the dealerships & their lies about this car are completely at fault; Unfortunately, they went out of business 2 weeks after my mother got the car. We found this news out when I brought it up to them to explain why her touch screen for the radio no longer responded. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM...

This site is useless. There are so many complaints about the 2016 Chevrolet Trax on here, but yet nobody is doing anything about it! I believe it is a severe safety hazard for all vehicles on the highway when a vehicle loses power without warning , whether it is on the interstate, or a residential street! But I guess the manufacturer does not think it's a safety hazard, but apparently if your vehicle doesn't remind you to take your key out of the car when you turn it off, or to put your seatbelt on ,Now, that's what they consider to be a REAL SAFTEY HAZARD!!! Forget the bells and buzzers, if that's the most important thing, you shouldn't be driving anyway. This vehicle has been a problem since we purchased it 2yrs ago and now it is sitting in the driveway and will not start at all. We had...

I purchased my vehicle on January 6, 2025. Two days later, the check engine light came on. After struggling to reach anyone at the dealership, I finally got in touch on January 14, and dropped the car off on January 22 for a catalytic converter and A/C issue. On February 23, the check engine light returned with the same code. I brought the car back on March 7, and by May, the light came on again and the A/C failed for a second time. Over 1–2 weeks, I called repeatedly but was either hung up on or transferred with no resolution. On May 23, I had the car checked at an independent shop, who confirmed it was the catalytic converter again and recommended I return to the dealer. I made an appointment online and dropped the car off on May 29. I didn’t hear anything for nearly a week. When...

The paint is peeling on the 2016 Chevy Trax. When I looked up the issue, I noticed tons of people had complaints about the same paint color for their Chevy Trax. When they called GM about it GM said they didn’t get any complaints about it and made excuses. There is a pending lawsuit from lawyers based in Florida. I’m calling that number next. I went to the car wash, and when I came out from washing the car, I noticed paint had fell off two spots on my driver side. I went to the local Chevy dealership they sold me a paint pen and it’s doing a very poor job of covering it up. Apparently this paint in particular has a known issue and GM is not taking responsibility for it. I also noticed on this vehicle that I had just purchased less than two months ago also has...

11/12/2023 Loss of power when driving up a hill.- felt some backwards drift. 11/13-14/2023 Shuttering vibration and engine revving during acceleration but no forward movement. 11/15/2023 Total power loss when attempting to merge with traffic.

Motor mount bolt snapped and engine fell while driving car…also recalled item (lower control arms) where not repaired…I purchased car 1 1/2 years ago from large Chevrolet dealership

A/C Dashboard Control Selector Linkage No Longer Working. The dampener linkage cable from Hot/Cold Selector Knob control is not working. Several videos on YouTube show a History of GM being aware, but doesn't care. No access to a 'working' A/C unit with Children, Pets or Adults in vehicle places ALL in danger, especially on extremely Hot hazy days. GM needs to correct this engineering design flaw and/or have parts or repairs available. Once again the dampener linkage cable from Hot/Cold Selector Knob control is not working, breaks far too easily, causing expensive repairs and victimizing consumers.

WHEN I TURN LEFT, THE RIGHT SIDE MAKES A POPPING NOISE AROUND THE BALL JOINT. RESERVOIR COOLANT TANK LEAKS, AND NO TEMPATURE GUAGE.. THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL IF MY CAR OVER HEATS UNTIL THE LIGHT COMES ON AND I HAVE TO PULL OVER THEN? I HAVE NEVER SEEN A VEHICLE NOT HAVE A TEMPATURE GUAGE!! ALSO MY PASSENGER SEAT BELT WILL NOT STAY FASTENED!

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.

LATCH PART THAT KEEPS THE TRUNK DOOR CLOSED DOESN'T LOCK ALL OF THE WAY. THIS ALSO MAKES THE CAR'S OPEN DOOR SENSOR STAY ON. ALSO THE CLOCK ON THE HOME SCREEN DOES NOT DISPLAY THE RIGHT TIME.

MY 2016 TRAX SLID INTO REAR OF A CAR WHO SUDDENLY BRAKED WHILE WE BOTH TRAVELLED ON HIGHWAY. I BROKE TOO. PROBABLY HIT OTHER CAR WHILE I WAS GOING 25 MPH. MODERATE FRONT END DAMAGE. ENGINE STOPPED. BUT CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE. TOTAL LOSS OF CAR

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.

DRIVERS SIDE PASSENGER DOOR POWER LOCK STOPPED WORKING. OUR 2016 TRAX HAS ONLY 17000 MILES ON IT. WE HAD OUR 4 YR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER IN THE BACK IN HERE CAR SEAT. WE COULD NOT GET THE DOOR OPEN. 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....

STARTED DRIVING AND IN 10 MINUTES THE CAR STARTED HESITATING AND SUDDENLY STALLED. THE ENGINE LIGHT AND THE STABILITY LIGHT ALSO WENT ON.. I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AGAIN JUST LONG ENOUGH TO PARK IT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WAITED FOR TOW WHICH WAS TAKING LONG IN 96 DEGREE WEATHER. SO I DROVE THE CAR HOME (15 MINUTES AWAY) HAD TO DRIVE VERY SLOW CAUSE FELT LIKE TURNING OFF..TOOK 45 MINUTES TO GET HOME..CALLED DEALER IN THE MORNING AND THEY GAVE ME A TOWING NUMBER. I CALLED @9:30AM, WAITED TO CALL BACK AT 12:30PM AND NO RECORD OF ANYONE SENT OUT. AGAIN THEY SAID SOME WOULD BE SENT. THEY ARRIVED AT2:50PM. PRAYING EVERYTHING TURNS OUT GOOD.

GOT THIS VEHICLE ON 07/23/2016, THE VEHICLE HAD MAJOR ISSUES UNTIL 09/2018. IN SEPTEMBER 2018 I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE ORIGINAL LOT TO HAVE IT INSPECTED AS WHEN SWITCHING THE FAN FOR THE A/C FROM 3 TO 4 ON THE BLOWER MOTOR SETTINGS STOPPED WORKING. MY DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE ORIGINAL BLOWER MOTOR. ALONG WITH THAT I WAS HAVING THE ISSUES OF THE CENTER CONSOLE (RADIO UNIT) AND THE DASH (WHERE THE SPEED, MILEAGE, ETC... IS) WOULD GO OUT WILL DRIVING OR NOT TURN ON AT ALL AND THE BACK UP CAMERA WOULDN'T TURN ON GO. THEY RE-INSTALLED THE COMPUTER SOFTWARE AND UPDATED THE SYSTEM AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. IN 02/2019 I STARTED HAVING THE SAME ISSUES, BACK UP CAMERA AND CENTER CONSOLE NOT WORKING, AND DASH TURNING OFF AND NOT COMING ON. ALSO WHEN I TOOK THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION AND GOT OUT OF THE...
