Vehicle hesitates upon accelerating. Have had it at dealership/ mechanics 4 times for the same problem without a solution. Has created numerous unsafe situations when it does not accelerate as expected when pulling out in traffic.

1 problem happen several times last year 2024 my radiator fan stay on for long time after the car was turn off it should shutoff after 15 min but it stay on when I try to start my car the battery is dead, So I took to Carroll Chevrolet and they look at the car couldn't find any problem no light can on the dash board, No indicator light can on, So they told me there was nothing wrong, When the battery is dead no indicator light come on the dash to indicate that there is a problem, This happen at least 7 times last year during the Summer Months, So what I have to do is disconnect the battery and when I ready too get back in my car I have to re hook up the battery so I can start my car. I shouldn't have to do this. No invoice

The car lost turbo power, it was in there 3 times and the repair was not correct. The service manager at ron westpahl, david, said there is a service bulletin out for the ifor this problem, it is a known problem in the North with the cold weather the inverter get condensation in the vehicle and freezes. Since the weather has turn warmer the car now runs with no check engineer, but Chevy has now refused to fix it because the check engine light is no longer on. This inverter has been redesigned T O prevent the condensation. If this is a known problem and they redesigned a part this should be a recall to all Chevy Trax in the northern region

Within two days of getting the car with 7 miles on it, as soon as I got over one hundred miles, the car texted me and said that I need to get the emissions serviced on the vehicle. Last time I went through this with Kia... they fixed it twice and then my engine pretty much died and they blamed me (on a 7 year old car)
