My car started have turbo problems 2024. While driving, something disconnected, I heard and felt something fall off under my car and it had no power. I was about 5miles from home. It was the turbocharge that broke and fell off while I was driving! Nothing but problems. -engine and overheating, coolant leaks, oil leaks, air-conditioned wasn't working properly! I spent over $8000 on repairs for a car that's 7 years old! I dont have that kind of money! What happened to Chevrolet??? They lost a long time customer!
The chevy trax has a faulty turbo system. There are so many problems, including accelerating without pressing the gas and stalling when pushing the gas. It is a huge safety issues that is occuring in most trax. Why isnt chevy doing something about it? Their dearlships want over 3500 to repair it and Chevy says just buy a new car. . Why don't they care they are making faulty engines that endanger peoples lives and don't last 80,000 miles . I have spent over $1000 placing parts the app said it needed and paying gm to run the codes is $200 a piece.
11/8/24 and 8/13/26. The turbo and engine has went out. Engine light came on. the engine reduced power and it shut off, while I was driving on interstate. Also had water coolant leak as well. Talk to dealership and was able to get it fixed the first time. The 2nd time, the same exact issues happened again. The priced was way higher, even with the same issues

They are not even scheduled to be inspected until 60000 Miles I now have a 1800 bill. Service man said these things happen. They donât make them like they used to. WHAT In 2022 the whole radiator system had to be replaced at 26000 miles Tuesday while taking the car to dealership not knowing what was wrong I broke down on the 405freeway during rush hour. Horrible experience. I told service man to make sure this wouldnât happen to me driving home. All he said was youâll be fine I asked if he was going to be checking the belts hoses etc. connect
