Trax

  • 80,883 miles
Started 2015 Chevy Trax in driveway and it started idling very rough. Car was working fine the previous day and had not been started / driven since. Left for work and car was jerking, loosing power and would not accelerate. Turned around and returned to house so dad could look at it and sister drove me to work in her car. Dad's comments: Drove car to advanced auto parts, approx. 2 miles, where they checked the battery, starter and alternator. Battery / starter checked ok, alternator checked out as bad. *attempted* to drive back home and experienced same problems as daughter. Car was idling rough, was unable to accelerate, traction control light came on, check engine light came on. Pulled off the road, shut off car, waited a few moments and restarted. Check engine light stayed solidly on. Turned onto main highway and was unable to accelerate. Car started shaking and smell of burning oil was present. Check engine light was "flashing" since I was 1/4 mile or less from the house, I was able to limp the car home and called dealership. Vehicle was towed and is currently sitting at mcclusky Chevrolet in kings auto mall, which is where the car was purchased used in Jan 2019. Onstar sent 4 messages: One was service interlock braking system, two were regarding the traction control system and one was for the exhaust emissions system. Note: This is the 5th time the car has been taken in for major repairs since January 2019 (when purchased) and the 2nd time in 2 months it had to be towed in. Last time was Jul 29, 2019 for failing brakes. Others have reported these exact same issues here on the NHTSA.gov site so there are obviously issues with the 2015 Chevy Trax that GM is not addressing.

Check engine light came on while driving city streets and there were no other symptoms. It was intermittent. Took car to the dealership and they fixed some loose computer connectors. Two weeks later check engine light came on. Stability control off light came on. At one point lost power steering and the dashboard display including speedometer zeroed out for a few seconds while driving city streets. Driving on the highway the car got to 4000rpm without properly shifting for the entire drive. Took car to dealership again and they fixed a different loose ground connection for the computer. On the drive home in city streets the check engine light came on intermittently and the stability control off light came on. Engine would not shift into a proper gear and drove at close to 3000 RPM instead of the 2000 usual RPM. Rear view camera would not function.

Power steering, traction control system, and check engine light came on while vehicle was stationary. And steering column locked up. After 20 minutes the power steering and traction control lights went off. Check engine light was read and P069E code was read back. After 4 days the check engine light went off on its own.
