2017 Chevrolet Trax

Multiple warning lights came on. Check engine, stabilatrak among others. Car got hard to steer and lost power. Very dangerous while driving on a highway. Pulled into a local repair shop because vehicle was unsafe to drive. They ran a diagnostic test and couldn't find anything. They said take it to a dealer. Barely Made it to the dealer. Left car. They said it was fixed. Happened again within a week. Took it back. They had the car for about 4 weeks. They fixed it. Ran fine until Sunday June 27 and did the same thing. Got it home. Had to drive very slow. It is now at the dealer again. This seems to be a problem with this vehicle as seen by researching the symptoms. The fact that it is so dangerous should make this a recall,

I DROVE MY TRAX YESTERDAY WITH NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER, THIS MORNING I GET INTO MY VEHICLE AT HOME, START THE CAR AND WITHIN TWO MINUTES, ITS FULL OF SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD, THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE FRONT OF THE TRAX STARTS MAKING HORRIBLE NOISES AND SHAKING. I TURN THE CAR OFF AND LET IT SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES, TRY TO START IT UP AGAIN AND IT WILL NOT TURN OVER. THERE ARE NO FLUIDS ON THE GROUND, NO WIRING THAT I COULD SEE UNDONE, NOT SURE ON WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I DO HAVE IT BEING TOWED TO A CERTIFIED DEALERSHIP TO GET IT LOOKED AT AND PRAYING FIXED.

ON JAN, 4TH, 2021 ABOUT 9AM MY 2017 CHEVY TRAX DIED ON THE INTERSTATE. THE SERVICE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON CAR JUST QUIT . I MANAGED TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TRIED TO RESTART IT WITH NO LUCK. HAD IT TOWED TO ENGALL' S AUTO SHOP IN NEW JERSEY.AS I WAS AN HOUR AWAY FROM HOME. RENTED A CAR SO I COULD GET HOME. THE NEXT DAY ENGELS CALL SAID THE ECM IS DEAD. HAD THE TRAX TOWED TO MOTION CHEVY DELEARSHIP. THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE ECM NEEDED REPLACED. . ORDERED THE ECM 0N THE 5TH AND REPLACED ON THE7TH. THE SERVVICE GUY CALLS ME AND TELLS ME THAT THE MODULE IN THE STEERING COLUMN IS BAD AND HAVE TO CHANGE THE WHOLE COLUMN.. THE SERVICE THEN SAID THAT THE ECM WAS COVERED BY EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT THE COLUMN WOULD HAVE TO BE PAID OUT OF POCKET..$1,235.00. WHEN I CALLED CHEVY CUSTOMER SERVICE THEY SAID THAT THEY PAY $88.00 OF THE BILL...WITH ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS HOW IS THIS NOT A RECALL ISSUE????????

ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, I WENT TO MY CHEVROLET STORE AND TOLD THEM ABOUT HOW MY GAS GAUGE WAS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. I WOULD FILL MY TRAX UP, AND INSTEAD OF IT MOVING TO FULL, THE GAUGE STAYED AT 1/2 TANK. I NEVER KNEW WHAT THE CORRECT LEVEL OF GAS WAS IN MY VEHICLE. I EVEN TOOK PICTURES OF THE LEVELS BEFORE AND AFTER THE FILL UP, BUT THEY LAUGHED IT OFF, 3 TIMES AND SAID THERE WERE NOT ANY CODES COMING UP, SO IT WAS OKAY. THE 4TH TIME I WENT, ANOTHER COMPANY BOUGHT OUT THE PRIOR OWNER AND SAID HE HAD TO REPLACE THE MODULE. IT HAD WORKED FOR A FEW MONTHS BUT IT IS STILL DOING THE SAME THING. SO I DON'T THINK THE MODULE WAS THE ANSWER. MY CAR HAS DRIVEN VERY ROUGHLY SINCE I BOUGHT IT AND WHEN THEY DRIVE IT, I AM TOLD THEY CAN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE AND I AM SENT HOME.
