Filed Sep 24, 2026 · Engine, Fuel system · OH

This car has experienced the same dangerous symptoms as reported in many cases on this site. Similar examples are the federal safety agency ID# 11756485, 11766116, 11756485 (nearly identical). What can I do. This 2017 vehicle was purchased in 2021 from a dealer for only $15K and had less than 50K miles. It has already cost us over $4k. What do you recommend?

Turbocharger on my 2017 Chevy Trax failed at approximately 80,000 miles. Took it in for repair and they reported that upon examination a 299 code appeared and the turbocharger needed to be replaced. Check engines light also came on.

turbo charger on all small engine for chevy have been giving people a lot of headaches during the winter months. Chevy is aware thar their turbo chargers are affected by cold weather but still put the turbo into new vehicles. I have fixed my turbocharger three times on my 2017 Trax with no success.

The first major repair I had with my vehicle happened shortly after I serviced it for it's regular oil change at the end of 2018. I notice my AC was going in and out and I checked my coolant, the reservoir was empty. When I made an appointment at the service department they discovered a leak under neath the turbo. In 2019 a valve was replaced that was sticking as "courtesy" at one of my oil changes. This year my vehicle stalled out on me at the gas station. I turned off my vehicle to pump gas and it wouldn't turn back over. When I finally got it to start again it was jerking very hard even while idling. It was difficult to get my vehicle running again. I got it to the dealership and they replaced the purge valve and I paid for an induction service since my vehicle is slowly approaching 50k. After a couple days of having my vehicle back I noticed my vehicle is still shifting very hard and is especially noticable in 30-50mph range, I drop my vehicle back off at the dealership 05/02/2020. The check engine light is not on it but, hey're getting a reading that there is a problem with the stability.

On three separate occasions, I went to my chevrolet store and told them about how my gas gauge was not working correctly. I would fill my trax up, and instead of it moving to full, the gauge stayed at 1/2 tank. I never knew what the correct level of gas was in my vehicle. I even took pictures of the levels before and after the fill up, but they laughed it off, 3 times and said there were not any codes coming up, so it was okay. The 4th time I went, another company bought out the prior owner and said he had to replace the module. It had worked for a few months but it is still doing the same thing. So I don't think the module was the answer. My car has driven very roughly since I bought it and when they drive it, I am told they can't replicate the issue and I am sent home.

In cold weather driving, 2017 chevy trax will throw a check engine light 20 minutes after startup, which shuts down the vehicles ability to maintain speed. This happens in town and on the highway. Code says turbo freezing. The vehicle will go max 40mph uphill on the highway and max 60mph on flat or downhill highway. Have to pull over because cars are coming from behind very fast in snowy conditions when vehicle will not maintain speed. The vehicle cannot accelerate from a stop either. Very scary. In town driving is almost not possible without getting run into because you cannot get out of the way. We have 10 of these vehicles and they all do the same. Chevy dealer says they have a fix, but cannot gets parts to fix. Its been 4 months of this major safety issue with no help from chevy. I am fed up.
