   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…

   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…

   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.

   Was traveling to head towards the beach and all of a sudden the whole dash starts glitching then goes out for about 10-25 seconds then cuts back on like the car is powering back on. I thought maybe it had something to do with my daughter touching the radio. Well I continue to travel get down the road about another 45mins and it does it again. So I decide to turn the radio off, turn off the A/C, call the dealership and turn around and go home. Dealership checks the car,…

   The speedometer/instrument cluster screen went completely black at startup on XXX. I had no ability to see my speed, fuel level, or any dashboard warning lights. I was forced to pull over on a public road and restart the vehicle. This is the second screen to fail on this vehicle — the navigation screen also went black multiple times beginning in February 2026. Capitol Chevrolet dismissed both incidents without performing any diagnostic inspection or repair. Vehicle has…

   I am driving the vehicle and suddenly the information center and entertainment center will suddenly go black without warning. This will stay black for approximately 10 seconds. Followed by 2 chimes. A series of 4 lights on the drivers side front dash will come on. I believe this is related to the forward collision system(the lights that come on). The entertainment and information center then come back on without any errors or messages. I noticed this issue occurred all…

   Since brand new the electronics have been defective. The lane keep assist has to be turned off during slippery road conditions because the computer jerks the steering wheel during normal driving where white road markings, such as merging lanes are present. During highway speeds on slippery snow or ice it nearly sends the vehicle into a dangerous maneuver. The backup camera was defective intermittently since it was new and was unable to be corrected by the dealer shop during…

    Dashboard screen and video screen have randomly "blacked out" multiple times. Pairing with I-phone and android randomly stops working, wifi and bluetooth randomly not working. It happened on day of purchase and was supposedly fixed. About I month ago I had regular service and has frequently occurred since then. Brought it in today, they couldn't fix and said they needed to call Chevy engineer team. Was told car not safe to drive, was given a loaner/rental.

    My 2025 Chevy TRAX is a safety and illeagll intrusion problem, by allowing fab key kit to bought and clone a 2025 electrical safety vehicle locks, doors, windows which makes this vehicle electrical locking system useless and allows anybody to enter and vandalize the interior and causing a HEALTH HAZARD when entered by anybody other than the PAID OWNERS. This vehicle should be on a " Safety Alert" and electrical need to be made.
