Incident: July 16, 2026 · Filed: October 26, 2026

Three months ago, in July, I bought a new 2026 Chevy Trax. I have heard good and bad things about the wet oil belt the car have. Have you received many complaints about it? This belt system have been on since 2020 or 2021. It has to do with the oil pump and the timing. Should I be concerned about it? Thanks for your advise.

Service Safety Restraint System warning light keeps coming on. I have taken it to Classic Chevrolet in Oklahoma City 6 times now for the same issue. I have opened a case with GM(XXX). I have been told that GM engineers have been on the phone with the dealership to get this repaired yet it is back in the shop at the dealership again. It has been explained to me that this warning light indicates that the air bags may not work if an accident occurs or the airbags may just deploy as I am driving down the road. That is the safety issue I am reporting. If even the GM engineers cannot fix this problem then I would say that it is a serious problem putting many people at risk. I wanted this in writing. This safety issue needs to be looked into and a recall needs to occur as I am sure I am not the only GM customer driving an unsafe 2026 Chevrolet Trax.
