In owners' own words
This car consumes oil no matter what you replace. Replaced the pcv valve. Oil cooler and various other parts and still consumes one quart of oil per 100 miles. Now the engine needs replacing due to this issue. Gm was sued for oil consumption on other Chevy cars. This should be included. I have also have every receipt. Oil change and expense from the dealer if needed Engine
Loss of heat due to radiator leak. I found A192219310 out on the NHTSA site for Chevy TRAX used as Maven vehicles, but nothing about radiator issues on my GM account in the warranty section. .My car is a 2017 with 49251 miles. Light driving. The dealer was not aware of any issues with radiators. If I had known of the issues I would have had a pressure test sooner. Engine
Driving in cold weather...the car just completely had no power when pressing gas pedal...seems line fuel system froze or turbo freeze.....Car then shut off with No check engine light...no warning light!! Started right back up and still had no acceleration.....very upset with this vehicle and no recalls.....Ive seen many post's with this same issue!! Engine
