What owners say
My car has been to the dealership over three times to have my digital dominator and my touchscreen looked at as a blackout in the middle of driving I could be using GPS or just talking on Bluetooth and it kicks it back onto my phone then I’m becoming a distracted driver because I have to use my GPS and now I have to pick up my phone and look at my phone until it decides to pick back up on my screen My screen would blackout. This has been three years of dealing with us. General Motors still has no solution to it refused to do a buyback in my car offered me an extra warranty on electrical components but that you can’t even figure out what the issue is. I’m paying almost $700 for a car that I have nothing but issues with.

I am reporting a serious safety concern with my 2024 Chevrolet Trax, purchased on [XXX]. Within three weeks, I experienced a malfunction where the infotainment screen began glitching, and the audio volume surged to maximum without warning. I was unable to control the volume or turn off the system, forcing me to pull over and restart the vehicle to stop the distraction. This issue has recurred multiple times, creating a significant distraction and making me feel unsafe while driving. The loud, uncontrollable audio and erratic screen behavior divert my attention from the road, increasing the risk of an accident. I reported the problem to the dealership in June 2024. They acknowledged the issue but stated that no fix was available as GM had not developed the necessary software update. I was advised to wait for an update. Throughout the winter of 2025, the problem worsened. Despite repeated inquiries, the dealership informed me that no solution was available. In April 2025, I returned the vehicle to the dealership, but they still could not resolve the issue. The service manager recommended I report the problem to the federal safety agency and contact GM customer service. I did so on April 11, 2025, and a case was opened. However, as of today, there is still no resolution. This ongoing problem is more than an inconvenience; it poses a safety risk by creating a distracting and uncontrollable environment while driving.

Infotainment and dashboard system lags, freezes, loses connection and completely blacks out while a device connects to the vehicles WiFi.
Currently the Intrument Cluster and the Infotainment screens reboots roughly every 60 seconds. The screens would go black then reboots. Would temporary loose speed indicator as well as all other functions.
Instrument panel went black and radio went black after starting up car or while driving. Will get stuck in a loop of turning on and off while driving after 5 min returns back to normal.

My car since I got it has been in service 3 times for the same issues. The infotainment screen keeps freezing and lagging randomly. It seems to happen more and more lately. It sometimes gets so bad where while I'm driving the reverse camera turns on and causes a huge distraction while driving. and when you turn the car off and take the key out fo the vehicle it will not shut off the radio for several minutes as it's intended to turn off when key is out of ignition and driver door opens. The next issue is with the remote start. The A/C will not turn on when remote starting the car. GM said it should but they can't seem to fix the issue. This almost caused my dog to have a heat stroke while I had to run into the store unexpectedly.
