2025 Chevrolet Trax electrical problems

Filed Oct 30, 2026 · Driver assistance, Electrical · MI

The infotainment system goes out randomly while driving, including the speedometer. I have had it looked at in the past because it would never connect to my phone and the radio wouldn’t work but now it is going completely black or lagging so bad that none of the buttons on the screen will react when being pressed. It has been happening more frequently recently. Today (10/29) both screens have blacked out 3 times. It comes back on around 30 seconds later and all the lights and warning signals start to blink until it regulates itself

the car was being driven and started to slow down on its own and then completely shut down with the check engine light on. It was taken to an outside auto shop to have the battery checked, and the mechanic said it was the alternator. it was still within the 36000 mile bumper to bumper warranty so I took it to the dealership. They claim the technician found the battery discharged once, but once the tested everything it functioned fine. It could have been from something left plugged into the USB port..... We are still waiting for the back up camera part that is part of a recall since 2025

On August 20, 2026, at approximately 7:54 AM during the daytime, I was driving approximately 5–9 mph up a dimly lit parking garage ramp, turning left into my usual parking spot for work on the ramp. My car’s front end had already cleared a cement column on my right, so I was pleasantly parking. Suddenly, the front-end collision assist malfunctioned, activating when it shouldn't have, and violently pushed my right front tire into the cement column, whipping the steering wheel around immediately fracturing the radius bone in my dominant right forearm. The impact was so sudden and forceful that I initially thought another vehicle had struck me from behind, but no vehicle was there and my rear bumper was undamaged. At the slow speed I was traveling while decelerating up a ramp and turned left, this wreck should've never happened and was unnecessarily severe. My new car sustained nearly $5,000 in damage, mostly due to the right front tire pushed far back into the wheel well, making the vehicle unsafe to drive. Despite my dashboard displaying multiple systems as disabled after the crash, the vehicle’s black box reportedly recorded no collision nor system failures. About a week and a half earlier, my entire dashboard had went black for an afternoon and did not return until the following morning. These events raise serious concerns about software or sensor malfunctions and the vehicle’s failure to record the crash. Chevy owners need to be aware of these potential safety concerns. I'm in the process of acquiring legal recourse.

I am having a problem with my brakes sticking. After it has been sitting all night, the brake pedal will be stiff and I’m unable to push it down much to start it. Once it’s started it thumps almost like the parking brake was set but I haven’t used it and I park on flat land. When I’m sitting in park, it’s idling as though I’m pushing the gas…the speed accelerates especially on curvy roads where I brake more frequently. The rotors have been scored for some time. Dealership blames it on them getting heated up. I drove to work and home 15 minutes each way. I’ve had a few long road trips but this scoring happened in a period without any long trips. Something isn’t right and I fear it’s going to push me into someone one day.

On my way to work the car overheated causing me to be stranded in the middle of no where without cell service. When it got to the dealership to repaire the car, they stated that it was a cylinder head. The dearship had my car a little over a month for repairs, the dealership did finally give me a loaner for the last week of the repairs but I lost work and a client due to not having transportation. A week after receiving the car back I still had problems with a check engine light coming on occasionally with loss of power and it would go away. I did not trust the car at all.
