2016 Trax.

2016 Trax... catalytic converter is bad. Vehicle has been very well maintained. The whole touchscreen system doesn't work except for 1 radio station. The vehicle only has 53K on it. Very disappointed.

Ac keeps going out, Popping sound from the front Emission system keeps failing Radio gets stuck and you cannot use it. This car all the way around is not worth the money I would never buy another one and I don't recommend anyone buying this car. It's not worth a dime honestly.
