I've had nothing but problems from this engine. I bought brand new in 2016. 2017 I had to have the whole radio system replaced as it quit. 2018, I was driving and check engine light came on. Took to shop and two spark plugs and iginition coil was bad at 32,000 miles. 2019, engine light came on in June and I loss power, engine made high squeal noise and it was just sputtering. Took to shop and they said it was camshaft seal and cover so that was replaced and of course warranty was out. Just this month, Dec 2019, it started doing the same thing again and this time they said it was the camshaft cover again (which they would cover under shop warranty) and it was also the intake manifold and gasket. Which ended up costing me $500. For a car that is only 3 yrs old. I've paid out $1500 in repairs because for some reason it only happens as soon as warranty has expired. This is not right.

On 11/23/19 I'm just leaving home early on Saturday morning and on timaquana rd while I was driving my 2016 Trax locked up on me and my Chevrolet Trax motor just stopped in the middle of the road, this could have been fatal and thank god I didn't get crushed in the middle of traffic. All the lights came on as if it was electric problem

Chevy sucks. Bought my 2016 Chevy Trax in September 2015. It's been well maintained. At the 59,000 mile mark, the steering wheel locks up and the engine powers down with no warning, ESC lights comes on and the car loses acceleration. Took it to 1 dealer who keeps it for 4 weeks when they figure it's a module. I brought it to my regular mechanic who has a relationship with another Chevy dealer so I could save on labor, they have it for another 4 weeks. And still with the savings, it cost me $1120 for this repair on top of the $218 I paid for the original diagnostic. I finally get the car back, have it for a day and it's the same problem! they replaced the battery, and still the problem is still occurring and the dealer cannot figure out what is wrong. This is Chevy's [xxx] product! nothing in the normal wear and tear of car ownership should have me shelling out all this money when I bought it brand new and have had it for 3 1/2 years. I've made 3 car payments in the last 90 days and still don't have a car to drive. I will never buy a Chevy again! parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I was driving on a Suburban road and my engine light, and stabilitrak light came on and it was suddenly driving as though I was on huge boulders and rock and shaking and having a difficult time gasing. I had to get it towed and barely made it home a couple miles away. The dealor mechanic said my cars driveshaft broke, only after 25K miles. Then less than a year later I am driving on a flat road normal conditions and my engine light is on and its driving rough, having a difficult time getting gas it felt like. Come to find out the coil pack was misfiring. The coil pack was corroded and burnt out. The spark plugs in turn were no good. My car was leaking gas and was running on 3 fuel injectors as the 4th was broken. This occurred right before or at 40K miles! it has been to the mechanic shop 6 times in 2 months. I bought it brand new.

While driving at around 40 miles the 2016 Chevy Trax loss power to 5-10 mph, the steering wheel got stiff, the transmission and engine got idle. I took it to the Chevy dealer. For fortune I was not driving in the highway. I am very concern as I don't feel this car is safe to drive. The car has currently 38K miles, I bought it used with little under 36K miles. I noticed about 7-8 similar complains is different websites. I think somebody from NHTSA should look at this issue. Driving a car with these problems can result in major accidents and potentially death.

On August 30, 2017 I recieved an alert from onstar (via email) stating my 2016 Chevrolet Trax (with 14,000 miles on it) was having numerous safety issues. That same day, I drove my Trax on the highway on my way home from work and it stalled out twice while going 70 mph almost to a complete stop in rush hour traffic. It continued to sputter the entire drive home, and my check engine light was flashing. I got it home, then the next day drove it to a dealership for repair. While driving it there, the vehicle was struggling to operate, and barely pushing 1000 RPM. It felt as though it would stall again if I accelerated too quickly.
