Used 2015 Chevrolet Trax LTZ 4dr SUV AWD (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6A) Consumer Reviews
Spend More for Something Else
I’m 28 years old and I’ve owned three Chevys throughout the years. This one is beyond the least reliable. Under 50,000 started having issues. Now 75,000 and I’ve dumped over $4,000 in repairs into my 2015 Chevrolet Trax LTZ AWD. And not regular maintenance either. It’s been 4 years... exhaust leaks, constant replacing of belts/gaskets, leaks “everywhere” according to any shop I visit for an oil change, valve cover replaced, and so so so much more. I have paranoia when it’s time to look through service records again. Air conditioning issues. Problems with acceleration. Electrical issues. Check engine light comes on and off every other month. Bluetooth doesn’t connect automatically. The back license plate light has literally fallen out and dangled from the wires (despite our efforts to put it back in) while we waited for the dealership to order another so it could be fixed. The auto-adjust for interior dash lights and the infotainment screen doesn’t work well when the sun is rising or setting. The stabilizer light keeps staying on after ignition. My transmission is leaking...somewhere... The best part about this vehicle is it’s ability to glide right through 2 feet of snow up here in Minnesota. But seriously, I’m afraid EVERY time I need to go in for an oil change because all I hear from various service shops is how I need to replace or fix an ongoing list of parts. They are often baffled after looking at my mileage again, and suggest I should probably have extensive work done or advise I get rid of the vehicle “quickly...”
Good little SUV
Good gas mileage. Good little car for two adults. However, if a car seat is needed not a lot extra room in the backseat. Very pleased with this purchase.

2015 Trax LTZ AWD
What a great little rig! So easy to get in and out of. Perfect for zipping around town, in and out of traffic, and parking in tight spots. Has plenty of pep to get it up and going. Fuel economy is good. The Bluetooth system is not the best. For example: if you remote start the car then get in and go a few minutes later, the Bluetooth will not automatically link up with your device. You must initiate the connection through your phone. I've had many vehicles with Bluetooth and this is the first one that has required a forced connection when using remote start. This only happens when you use the remote start feature and not when you get in, start, and go. There is only 1 USB port and it's in the little upper glove box. Not really a big deal until you want to have your device somewhere other than shut in the little glove box. There is no route for the cord to exit the little glove box with the door shut without feeling like you are pinching the cord. This seems to have been fixed with the 2017 model refresh. Fit and finish is as expected or better for a vehicle of this price point. It is definitely worth a look if you are in the market for a small SUV
Chevy Trax
This car is too small, doesn’t fit car seats, can’t fit 3 normal size people in the back. It is really uncomfortable, there is only one arm rest in the front and there isn’t even a CD player. I regret this car purchase so much and really disappointed. I’m counting down the days until I can get something better. For the price it is not worth it all. This should not be considered an SUV!!!

Do your research!
I bought my 2015 Chevy trax in 2018 it was Beautiful and exactly what I wanted but I apparently didn’t dig deep enough into what kind of issues you could run into with this car. In the 4 years I’ve had this car I have had nothing but trouble with it. I bought it gently used from Volkswagen and right off the bat battery issues and turbo issues they fixed it and it ran great until the summer. Now I live in the desert where it can get up to 115 degrees and this car is not made for hot weather in my opinion! Every year since I’ve had this car it has broken down in the summer. I had to replace the entire turbo…. Again not cheap. The entire air conditioning unit going down. Battery issues I’ve replaced the battery twice in 4 years and I’ve never left the lights on or done anything to cause it to go bad that quickly. I’m constantly in the shop for valves and caps and etc. Probably every 6-8 months something goes wrong with this car. The voice control only works 25% of the time so it’s not very reliable or hands free if you have to get your phone out to make a phone call or something of the sorts. All in all this car sucks in the summer and has costly repairs. It’s great in the cold months and get good gas mileage but do your research before buying!!!
