Radiator, ta 80k Miles the seal broke and causing a coolant leak, upon looking at forums related to my car there are NUMEROUS complaints, my safety was at risk because my car could've overheated and shutdown when traveling and caused a major accident. The Trax is known for this issue, yet no recalls or anything. There was no accident associated with this but I am truly hoping someone gets ahold of Chevy/GM about this issue

I purchased a vehicle from GM Murfreesboro. I didn’t know this at the time of purchase, they sold me a used vehicle with a different vin number registered to a gray trax. [XXX] has been part of this scam. How safe is my vehicle? They sold us the car in the dark. Paid full price. I checked my vin number and it pulled up a gray trax with different features. The door didn’t close, gas tank does sense appropriately, the seal on the car is broken, the front windshield has suction cup marks on the inside and freezes with ice inside the windshield. I’ve purchased other cars from them. They probably did the same thing. I just happened to check the vin against the federal database. They are working with several local cops and tracy chavez at the dmv to do this. [XXX] made any warranty work impossible. [XXX] helps with any repairs. Was unwilling to fix this probably because this is a federal offense to charge a vin number. I have the specific local cop cars who have been at the dealership.

Mark Norman has been part of this scam. This vin is signed to a gray trax. I’ve purchased several vehicles before from this dealership.

Incident: June 1, 2021 · Filed: September 29, 2026

The exterior lighting system failed due to a severely eroded rear license plate wiring harness and a damaged, melted electrical connector piece, causing the connected lamp assembly (GM Part 13502178) to fail 7 separate times. Total failure of the rear illumination reduces nighttime vehicle visibility to other motorists, increasing rear-end collision risks. Furthermore, the eroded, melted harness creates an un-fused short circuit risk, posing an ongoing thermal/fire hazard inside the rear bumper. The failure loop was officially reproduced and confirmed by Hertrich Chevrolet on September 29th, 2026. Two other Hertrich Chevrolet dealerships had replaced/ repaired this part and they clearly misdiagnosed the core electrical issue six times previously by only replacing the plastic housing. No dashboard warning lamps appeared; symptoms were restricted to broken mounting clips and burned-out bulbs from heat degradation, which first appeared in June 2021 under the factory warranty. The failed components are AVAILABLE for inspection, as the vehicle is currently held in dealer custody under an open warranty ticket waiting for parts.

My 2020 Chevrolet Trax has experienced recurring brake problems for approximately two years. The issue involves the brake pedal becoming unusually resistant and the vehicle failing to brake normally when I apply the pedal. The vehicle and affected components are available for inspection. My first known documented occurrence was August 21, 2024, one day after I picked up the vehicle from AutoNation Chevrolet. I had dropped it off July 29, 2024, and picked it up August 20, 2024, after it was diagnosed and repaired for reduced-power issues, including shaking while driving. On August 21, 2024, I was driving normally when I attempted to brake. The brake pedal suddenly became resistant and the vehicle would not stop normally. I repeatedly pressed the brake pedal without resolving the problem. I pulled the emergency brake and waited. Approximately five minutes later, the dashboard displayed a “Service StabiliTrak” warning, along with the ABS and check-engine lights. After the warning lights appeared, the brakes began functioning normally again. This is the first occurrence I personally documented on my phone to my knowledge. Over the past two years, I have taken the vehicle to the dealership and/or Big O Tires approximately 15 times for service and repairs, including work I was told could help resolve the issue. These visits also included routine services such as tires, oil changes, and emissions testing. Despite repeated service and recommended repairs, the brake problem continues. The vehicle is currently at the dealership as of August 11, 2026, being diagnosed for the same recurring brake issue. This problem has repeatedly placed my safety, the safety of my 6-year-old child, and the safety of other drivers and pedestrians at serious risk. The intermittent loss of normal braking makes it difficult to safely stop or avoid a collision. I have repeatedly sought professional assistance, but the underlying issue has not been permanently resolved.

CRITICAL SAFETY INCIDENT / LIFE-THREATENING VEHICLE FIRE HAZARD. On January 2, 2026, I purchased a 2020 Chevrolet Trax. Within less than five months, while driving in active traffic, the vehicle suffered a sudden, catastrophic powertrain failure. The vehicle completely lost all acceleration, leaving me trapped and stranded in a highly dangerous roadway position. Immediately following the power failure, the engine bay filled with heavy smoke and began severely overheating. The vehicle came within moments of bursting into a full thermal engine fire. This vehicle was a rolling death trap that almost killed me on the road. No one is taking this life-threatening safety failure seriously. The selling dealership refused to address the known hazard, forcing a predatory repossession that destroyed my financial life while leaving a severely defective, fire-prone vehicle completely unaccounted for. I need an immediate federal investigation into this vehicle before this defect causes a fatal fire for another driver.

The contact owns a 2020 Chevrolet Trax. The contact stated that the rear passenger-side seat belt failed to retract, and the rear driver-side seat belt later failed to retract, resulting in both rear seat belts being unable to retract or adjust. The contact stated the failure prevented the installation of a child safety seat, rendering the vehicle unsafe for transporting an infant. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who confirmed that no recalls or warranty coverage applied to the failure and provided a diagnostic fee for further inspection. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure, and the vehicle remained unrepaired. The failure mileage was approximately 23,000.

My car is a 2019 not 2020 and white not gray. The gas gauge doesn’t read pressure and drops by 1/4 up or down. I don’t have all the features which were supposed to be on the car. The rear door doesn’t close. I have ice inside my front windshield in the winter. I took the car back immediately. They refused to change the vehicle to the gray trax within the 48 hours. They sold me the car in the dark. The brand new tires skidded on wet pavement, and suction cups for placing a windshield appear in the ice on the inside of the front windshield. The car is dangerous. Continental. All foot tires just replaced.
