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.

This is the worst car I've ever had!

I've had nothing, but problems since I bought the car. Transmission, engine misfire, paint peeling, parts constantly breaks on the car. The car is serviced timely, flushes, oil changes, etc... It doesn't make a difference. It's a horrible car. I can't wait to get rid of it. Chevy has definitely went down.

Wouldn't recommend

I bought my 2016 Chevy Yrax new from the dealership in January 2017 and at first I loved it. Then the issues started (about EIGHT warranty claims in a year or so.) Now it's well out of warranty but has had plenty of issues since off and on. Then when I take it in to be assessed it often will act fine so they can't find the issue. Long story short, NEVER buying a trax again...anyone I talk to including mechanics has recommended against them (wish I knew that before I bought it.)

Great car

I’m enjoying the car so far. It only had a couple of minor problems that I got fixed at no cost to me because it was covered under warranty.

Disappointed in my selection of vehicle. Sorry!

I just bought this 2016 6 months ago and I have had in shop twice already, had the cabin filter changed and now blower not working good now. I work part time and get a small social security check and i think buying this car was a mistake. Maybe will have to trade it back in. I need a car for my job but not one that will keep putting me in debt.

Turbo problems

Multiple electrical problems and turbo problems that are known to GM and still no recall. GM should be required to at least replace the Turbocharger.
