I have recently heard what could best be described as a squealing sound. I could also smell fuel inside the vehicle while driving. I thought it was oil that had leaked onto the serpentine belt and had it replaced but the noise continued. Listening closer I realized it was coming from the area around the intake manifold. Searching online I found several YouTube videos and comments from people mentioning loose spark plugs caused their issue. Checking mine I found that two of the four spark plugs were loose enough to not require a wrench to remove them. Tightening them eliminated the noise. I have owned this vehicle since it was brand new and have never asked a mechanic to check or replace spark plugs, nor have I done it myself. I did recently replace the intake manifold, which required removing and reinstalling the ignition coil. I feel like loose spark plugs represent a fire hazard as it allow the fuel to blow past the cylinders and into the engine compartment.

ONE DAY WHEN I STARTED UP MY CAR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, BUT GAVE ME NO FURTHER INFORMATION ON THE ISSUE. I DON'T SEE WHY THE WHOLE PART NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ESPECIALLY SINCE NOTHING HAS PROMPTED THIS ISSUE. I OPTED OUT OF THE REPLACEMENT THAT WOULD HAVE COSTED ME $1000 AND CHANGE SINCE THE CAR WORKS JUST FINE, BUT NOW I DRIVE IN FEAR THAT IT WILL DIE ON ME FOR AN ISSUE THE DEALER HAD NO DETAILS ON. I HOPE THIS WILL OPEN AN INVESTIGATION ON THE VEHICLE TO TRY AND FOUND OUT WHY EXACTLY MY CAR IS EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE WHEN IT HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF SINCE I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT.

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2015-2018 Chevrolet Trax vehicles. A joint in one or both of the front lower control arms may have been improperly welded. An improperly welded joint may break, resulting in the partial separation of the lower control arm from the vehicle.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: A partial separation of the lower-control arm from the vehicle could cause the attached front wheel to toe outward, impacting the vehicle's handling and steering and increasing the risk of crash.

Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the left and right front lower-control arms, replacing them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began November 6, 2019. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is A192261870.

During this test, deployment of the frontal air bags and the seat belt pretensioners would not occur in the event of a crash.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: A failure of the front air bags or seat belt pretensioners to deploy in the event of a crash necessitating deployment increases the risk of injury to the driver and front passenger.

Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will reflash the SDM software. Vehicles that have had a previous air bag deployment will have the SDM replaced. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on August 4, 2017. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300, Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006, Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782.
