What 2024 Chevrolet Trax owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The chrome trim reflects the sunlight directly into the drivers eyes anytime the sun is overhead. The sun visors are no help. This can cause temporary blindness. Suggest Chevrolet replace the chrome with a subdued color.
The contact owns a 2024 Chevrolet Trax. The contact stated that the rubber trim had detached from the front windshield wipers. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact called the dealer, who confirmed the parts were on backorder. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 41,000. The VIN was not available.
Electronic dashboard goes out while driving often and the radio. This has happened on several occasions. This is not safe for my teens.
Wipers from the dealer are on back order in some cases and in the cases that they do have they they are trash wipers streaks and smears that just block visibility in snow and heavy rain additionally the arm attachment is completely different than any wiper attachment so you cannot get wipers from any auto part stores
OEM windshield wipers are failing after only 7000 miles of light use. Wipers smear the water across windshield making visibility extremely poor. There are zero compatible aftermarket wipers that fit the wiper arm. I have visited 3 auto parts stores and none fit. OEM replacements from dealerships are on long back order. I either have to try to use wipers that may fly off during use because the proprietary wiper arm design isn’t compatible with any aftermarket wipers or wait months for another set of poor quality OEM wipers.
There are NO wiper blades available for the 2025 Chevy Trax. It utilizes a unique and propertiary wiper arm that accepts no brand of commercially available wiper blades and the OEM Wiper Blades have been "Sold Out" as long as the vehicle has been available. I've been reduced to using a wiper blade sharpener and universal wiper blade refills just to maintain basic visibility in rainy conditions. Multiple 2025 Trax owners are reporting this issue online: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Chevy Trax has chrome in the interior that reflects the sun and causes blinding effects making the car difficult to control during sunny days. Causes driver to look away creating safety hazard.
The contact owns a 2024 Chevrolet Trax. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, she became aware that the computer was not working properly, since the welcome message displayed on the instrument panel had seized for several minutes. The contact was aware that the failure was related to an unknown recall. However, the local dealer refused to diagnose or repair the vehicle since the VIN was not included. The contact also stated that the automatic connection between the phone and the vehicle was not working properly, because callers could hear the contact; however, the contact could not hear caller. The contact stated that the rear passenger window switch was not working properly. The rearview camera was inoperable, affecting the visibility while reversing. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 10,000.
Since purchasing the car brand new, the wipers have stopped working mid snowstorm, one time in March and another in April here in Colorado. I have had to take the vehicle in 2x to the dealership and waste hours of my time.
