The worst car I've ever owned

So yeah I have one of these Trax Redline and let me tell you something...stay far away. Horrible engine, transmission,seats, all noise and no go, can't fold the rear seats down and have anyone taller than 5'5" person sit up front. Gas milage is 17.4 mpg. Creaking and cracking noises in the interior and seats. Seat foam is caving and collapsed. My vehicle has 4600 miles on it and I'll be lucky to get 60000 miles on this car...the transmission has started to slip and shift rough, front windows crack when being put down and back up, my fancy Bose radio shuts off and doesn't come back on along with the rear camera, and OnStar. This is by far the worst vehicle I have ever owned and will be trading this POS ASAP!

I went into Phillips Chevy last week to replace my old car. I went in expecting the bare minimum- any car that would get me to my destination that wasn't horribly expensive, sold by someone that wanted me in and out. What I got instead was excellent customer service by everyone in there, and especially from Joe Luque and Walter. They worked with me tirelessly until I got the car that I was hoping for but never expected to get. They were helpful but not pushy, knowledgeable but not bossy, friendly but not overbearing. When this lease is up, I know exactly where I'm going for my next vehicle! Highly recommended

I like the car a lot. GM offer $2500 in rebates, plus another $1800 for first responders. The car has now only 695 miles. The gas mileage is a little disappointing . I am only getting 15.6 miles per gallon in the city. Also the materials and workmen ship was poorly out together.

Weak acceleration on this car. After only having it for 2 months the reduced engine power light came on which I was not happy about having a malfunction so early on. This is such a small complaint but I hate that I don’t have a center console haha 4 cup holders in the front but no center console. I previously had a Honda Accord and I felt like I had so much more room in the Honda than in the Trax.

Water pump at 35,000?

I like my wife’s 2018 trax but it seems a bit shoddy on the quality of materials and build of the car.. the part that gets me is the 35k miles the gas charcoal canister has a leak and needs replacing at $750 and now her water Pump took a dump at 35k miles and it’s going to cost us $1200 to replace.. it’s in a difficult spot for the mechanic to reach and remove.. I hope and pray that that’s the last of the 35k miles problems.

Was it the car or me?

i had an accident in my 2018 Trax after complaining about the steering and getting no where. Is this a common problem? The steering is really sloppy, make a quick turn and let go of the wheel and it does a "wabba wabba" back and forth. So had an accident and it is in the shop waiting for parts. Since Sept. 6th, lets see it is Nov 29 today and they still can't get the parts.
