Trax

  • 3,000 miles
In February on zero degree day my 2018 Trax had blue smoke coming out of the tail pipe and almost stalled car running. I saw another Trax that same day with blue smoke coming out of the tail pipe. When I was at the dealership they were returning some one elses Trax and it had blue smoke coming out of it. The Trax has a 1.4 turbo engine and GM seems to have a problem with the PCV system on this engine. GM needs to come up with a fix for this problem and there should be a recall on this. You can look on youtube and the mechanics there are aware of the problem. The dealerships and GM seem to not have any interest in correcting this problem. The 1.4 turbo is put in many GM cars. I would think if nothing else this should be a pollution control recall.

When I'm at a stop and try to push on the gas it feels like it's stalling out, I've also had problems with the radio and turn signal, I've had the radio screen be completely black but the radio was playing and on other times after taking it out of reverse and putting it in drive and actually driving down the street the two yellow margin lines still appear on the screen across the radio station and the turn signal seems like the dealer had to replace the overhead light in the car because it did not function as well, it delays when I turn it on it takes a couple of seconds for it to actually start flashing I've also had a problem with the emission and they told me it was because of cheap gas and they replaced something with the emission control and it felt like it was dying out before they fixed it and it still does. I believe September 18th was the last time I took it in for these problems which they could not find out why.
