This car saved my life

I was in an accident that ended up totalling my Trax, and I walked out of the car. Upset that my first real car was now in shambles in the middle of the road. The crumple zones worked. The engine leaked everything into the road and all the airbags went off but when the door opened and I talked about it, they couldn't believe I wasn hurt. Even before the accident, I got great gas mileage and had plenty of room for passengers and groceries. Now I wish I didn't have an accident testimonial.

THE WORST PURCHASE I HAVE MADE

I purchased a 2018 Trax in August, 2019. Within the 1st week of owning it I stated having problems. The TAC and fuel gauge have never worked. Since this issue, in the last year I have had the turbo replaced, the radio/dash replaced twice and the radio and dash will still go black when driving the car, they have installed a cold weather package because the car would not heat, this past Winter, I started my car to let it warm up and came out to it smoking like it was on fire and it had no power, supposedly there was a ball of ice in the turbo, how does that happen, it was never explained to me, the brakes have failed and for it being an AWD, I feel like a feather in front on a fan!! The first few times with the trouble I was offered by Chevrolet an extended warranty on a car that I DO NOT WANT nor Trust, now they are telling me that if I want to do a buy-back, I have to have the car in for the same issue 3 or more times. For the love of God, this is a new car and I should not have to have problems like this nor have to feel unsafe driving the car wondering what is going to happen next!!

I purchased my 2018 Trax at Simpson Chevrolet in Irvine ,California with 2 miles .What a fun little car, its comfortable to my 6,4 ' frame. Being from Germany I like a car with some pep. The gentleman from Edmunds stated the Trax is sluggish, I suggest he learn to drive. True the 1.4 liter engine has 140HP cupelled with a turbo charger and a 6speed transmission, which can be manual or automatic. The Turbo has a small delay, but then comes on like gangbusters. My friend has an Audi A4 and I upset him when I drove Away from him in City traffic and the again an the freeway. the Trax is very agile and if you keep a little RPM up the drive becomes an Fahr Vergnugen.(Pleasure to drive) Also I'm getting 21 in the city and 32on the HWY. Well even my wife loves the car.

Bad decision

I purchased a 2018 Chevy tracks redline addition with 184 miles on it. It was in the shop for 6+ weeks for transmission issue that was covered under warranty missing a part coming out of the factory. It was in the shop so long GM actually reimbursed me for two of the payments that I made. The windshield seal leaked and ended up with a puddle of water in my floorboard they had to replace that. There was one recall about some welds that we’re not done in the factory. There is wind noise on the back right passenger door they replaced the stripping and it still makes the noise. Now with 42,000 miles the transmission is acting up now in the shop to determine what the problem is and it’s probably not covered under the powertrain warranty which is up to 60,000 miles. Currently looking to get rid of this car. Not sure where I will be if it last to 60,000. Do your homework, read reviews. Overall I would not highly rate this vehicle.
