Chev Trax very costly repairs at 37,000 miles

Owned a 2015 Chev Trax soon after bumper to bumper wore off required $7,000 repairs to turbo and AC despite getting all maintenance done on time. Then right after power train Warrenty ran out transmission went. Traded in with a $8,000 loss. Got a 2019 Trax same thing happened. AC started having problems at 20,000 miles. Chev kept saying it’s normal for AC to shut off after car had been driven for over a half hour. AC completely went at 35,900 miles. Chev patched the problem. Then at 35,950 miles, the next day after picking up the car for the AC problem, the check engine light came on. Took it to Chev. They “fixed” the turbo. At 37,500 miles check engine light came back on for turbo problem. Chev said it’s over 36,000 miles you have to pay for repairs. Now AC and turbo gave problems and Chev refuses to fix because it’s after warrnety. Trax is a low price pos. It starts to die at 35-36,000 miles. It does not even make it 50,000 miles. Very disappointed. I do not recommend this car. Worst quality car I have ever owned.

Stalling lemon

Bought my Chevy tax March 1st 2018 brand new. Started having a stalling problem in September 2019. It is now 2021 and still having the same issue after the dealer replaced multiple things such as catalytic converter, battery, intake manifold, ECM, ignition coils and the list goes on. Once the problem started again in October 2020 I contacted Chevy directly to try to get a replacement SAFE vehicle and nothing has been done since the dealer cannot find the problem this time after having my car for 3 weeks. Once again in a loaner with no hope for the safe reliable vehicle I thought I purchased.

LOVE MY TRAX

The TRAX has turned out to be a perfect vehicle for us. Easy to get in and out (no more deep knee bends), has all the bells and whistles we love (backup camera, easy access dashboard features and easy to read), good gas mileage and comfortable seats. A dream to drive!!!

I've had this little SUV for a couple of months now and I love to drive it. Sure, it's not a Cadillac, and if I had expected that when I bought this, I wouldn't have given it 5 stars. But if you want a sharp, sporty little SUV that can turn on a dime, responds well and is fun to drive, look at the Trax. I love the keyless entry, the bluetooth, the back-up camera and the way it handles. If I had to do it all over again, I would buy it again. Also, it does great in the snow. A member of my family lives on a hill and when he saw my little AWD Trax going right up that hill in the snow, he was surprised. I love it!

I only know of this from renting one while my BMW X5 is being fixed. It's just a base model. But I love it! Great little form factor (so relaxing after driving the stupidly huge X5); tons of legroom and headroom even for a tall driver; handling seems fine; superb visibility; goes amazingly far on gas. I don't know -- I know everyone hates GM products but I'm not sure how you could object to this car. I'm sure the overall longevity is not gonna match a Toyota, but who knows ... honestly seems like a fine little rig to me, and very thoughtfully designed.

We've leased the car in 2/2019, there was one recall on it for the wheels had bad welding job. My heat decids to work when it wants to. The plug-in feature for our phones in the car, decides to work when it wants to also. We have had the dealer look at all the issues and they have pretty much told me that I was crazy....and that it all works fine when it was at their shop. The seats and the space in the vehicle is very tight....if we weren't stuck for a vehicle in February, I wouldn't have leased this vehicle. If you have any other choices, I would do something else.

Trax is great!

I bought my 2019 Chevy Trax Sept of 2019. I absolutely love it. It can hold a lot more stuff than it looks like. I also had a baby in 2020 and I feel completely safe driving him around in it. I love the apply car play and I also love having four cup holders instead of a center console. I would fully recommend this car to anyone who is looking for a small SUV.

Bad trade decision, 05/23/2020

I traded in my 2016 KIA Soul for the 2019 Chevrolet Trax. Upside of the Trax, the 7 inch info screen ( not having to watch the phone screen for navigation is a plus). The phone app for the Trax is a plus as well. Downside, this is a Korean built car with the Chevrolet name badge stuck on it, which I was unaware of until after I had signed the contract. Handling is average, mileage is subpar, and I would hesitate to take a long trip in this. Performance could be better. I would rate the KIA Soul as a better choice for anyone looking for a vehicle in this class. Build quality of the Soul is superior to the Trax, noise levels on the inside are also better in the Soul. Comparing Korean to Korean. I had 36000 trouble free miles on the Soul when it was traded in, a set of tires and oil changes were the only maintenance that had to be done. Let’s see if the Trax can be as dependable.
