Brake System malfunctioned. Brakes making horrible grinding noise at 25000 miles. Took to dealership under warranty and was told "that is just the sound that GM brakes make" and they refused warranty repair. Assured noise wouldnt worse, but continued. Paid to have brakes replaced and the SAME exact noise continues today. Brake fluid leaked everywhere and totally disabled the entire braking system while driving on the interstate. When the brakes went out, i loss power and it was difficult to steer. Tried receiving assistance from Chevrolet on many occasions until i gave up Car flashed a message suggesting vehicle was experiencing loss of power while driving down interstate, cleared the message and vehicle power remains weak. Code suggested turbo was going out. Car honks 2-3-4 times while in park only 5 minutes. Oil has to be changed constantly. Last oil change took 2 weeks before now having only 81% oil life. Forward collision warning warns when nothing is in front or around you. Lane keeping assistance cuts in and out and doesn't always work. Backup camera shows upside down often, and distorted. ECM warranty reset has been completed. Lane departure warning signals hazard where there is none and sometimes lane keeping assistance disallows me to remain in the middle of my lane so i have to cut it off. interior and exterior lights and radio have remained on for hours after locking vehicle and going inside my house.

On Tues 11/19/24, my son left home about 10 mins prior headed back to school in our 2024 Chevy Trax purchased in 5/2023. On his way to school, he and his friend heard a loud pop sound, followed by all the lights on the instrument panel flickering like crazy, smoke coming from under the hood, and then the car slowing to a stop, still in the road. Luckily they were able to get out because all the doors, except the driver door, locked including the trunk. The smoke got worse until it caught on fire. Good Samaritans stopped to help my 17 yo son and his friend and there was an off duty responder that turned around to put out the fire with the extinguisher he had on him, ahead of the fire department arriving on scene. This could have been very detrimental and had a very different outcome and GM/Chevy need to make sure this doesn-??t happen to another family. This car was serviced and had very low mileage of less than 12k in 1.5years.

Ambient light sensor malfunctioned on my 2024 Trax. It would flicker on and off in daylight when in the auto lighting headlight mode. After checking Reddit, many other owners are having the same issue. Chevrolet bulletin 24-an-001 has a direct fix. Avoiding flashing other drivers is important, as this indicates imminent danger is near.

Headlights are flickering and blinking intermittently along with the green headlight indicator blinking in gauge cluster. Seems like the automatic headlight sensor is unable to detect outer darkness level and fails to keep headlights on or off. Issue happens in sunny and partially cloudy days after the car exposed to sun for 5-10 minutes depending on the strenght of sunlight. This seriously confuse the drivers of incoming traffic especially in the crossings and intersections as blinking headlights means "i give you way" and may lead to accidents and other incidents.

Ambient light sensor defective since vehicle was new. It would turn the lights on at dusk and back off at dawn but was confused by direct sunlight on sunny days. The the lights would switch from DRLs to headlights/taillights whenever direct sunlight hit the sensor and then immediately switch back to DRLs when any shadow crossed over the sensor causing the lights to flash. this causes other drivers to flash their lights back and can be very distracting. After replacement of the sensor, the problem went away.

I-??ve had problems with the headlights flickering for no reason and randomly (every day) With the green indicator on the dashboard turning on and off. It happens at different times of the day, in different weathers and for no reason. Seems to be worst on sunny and cloudy days and it happens at any speed, even parked. Already took to the dealership twice, first they did an update (it didn-??t fix anything) and now they mentioned they have ordered a part to replace. I-??ve talk in forums and groups with multiple people experiencing this issue. I had also problems with the back up camera staying on while driving and looking like it have -??fish eye-?? effect. With the lane assist and forward collision warning not working. All this is also random, I-??ve owned the car for a little over a week and seems like many people are talking about similar problems. The deactivation or failure of safety features is definitely dangerous. The dealership just mentioned they can-??t replicate this. The problem with the flickering lights is a huge safety issue, other drivers gets confused and with the headlights going on and off you can-??t really drive in safe way. I-??ve documented with some videos and I have the dealership paper about The flickering lights problem. I-??ve not been able to document the other problems since it happens while driving. I must mention I experienced this problems from the day one I got the car out of the lot (new). And the flickering lights problem KEEPS happening every day.
