While stopped and ready to move forward when I press the accelerator the car jerks only from stop to go forward it hesitates. It has the same transmission symptoms as other car I had. I’m very concerned about this issue because a transmission it’s very expensive and can’t afford to fix it due to Covid-19 have no money. Considering how much the dealers charge for a diagnostic it’s ridiculously expensive just to check a problem they already know that exists. Please help.

With only 62,000 miles the rear differential has a crack in the side of the casing. This issue leads to the complete drainage of the differential fluid. This is an issue in multiple chevy trax models. It has potential to seize the differential and cause a loss of control of the vehicle. This particular issue was found while driving and a loud noise was coming from the rear differential.

While I was driving my 2015 chevy trax, the transmission got stuck in third gear. I switched to manual and it still wouldn't move out of third gear. In order to get it off the road, I had to drive it to a safe place. Sitting at a red light in drive, I took my foot off the break and the car didn't inch forward like normal. The traction control light was on so was the service engine soon light. There is only 80,000 miles on the car. The recommended mileage to service is 100,000 miles on this vehicle.

I have had to take my vehicle in several times for repair I am the first owner of this vehicle and it only has 87,000 miles on it. At 87,000 miles I have had to have the valve cover replaced for leaking. I have also had to have an oil pan leak replaced. An oil pan pin gasket replaced. And now my seat belt indicator light is not making noise when the seatbelt is not buckled in. I have tried to drive without a seatbelt on city streets and highways to see if the light would make noise and it does not the light is on on the dashboard but no noise is made to indicate that the seat belt is not on.

Noticed coolant reservoir was empty. Put it in the shop and it is the turbo that chevy manufactures with the engine. It is leaking. The vehicle is only a 2015 with 34,000 miles, the turbo should not be leaking already. It does need to be replaced. I have gotten all the maintenance done.
