As i was driving all the lights and pictures started to flash on the dash board. the car wheel didnt want to turn and hot very hard to steer. the service engine light keeps flashing on and off. its riding crazy. it was in motion.

Car just lost power then service light came on telling me about power steering..car wont crank or do nothing...towed to dealership ordered so ething electrcal ckst 8lo.oo dollars..now power s steering not working again car was moving everything shut down

Vehicle was at highway speed when systems began to fail and vehicle abruptly lost acceleration. warning lights and messages began to appear abruptly without warning. rpm, and mph digital dial/ number jumped to 0 and back up to a random speed and then back down to 0. accelerator pedal did not have any bearing on speed control. uncontrolled stalling at highway speed without any warning. vehicle was driven off active roadway at next available exit and parked. vehicle maintained error codes. dealer contacted for tow. after waiting for tow and engine off, all error codes cleared. driven to dealer and currently in service. vehicle fairly new and repair under warranty. problem uncertain but technician pointed to a grounding problem. error lights during incident: power steering warning light (steady on), tcs/stabilitrak warning light (steady on) and check engine light (steady on). plus, vehicle service messages: service power steering and service stabilitrak. i have taken pictures of the instrument cluster. cluster errors began around 13:42 est and cleared around 15:42 est after parking and cutting engine off for some time (maybe 20 minutes) then restarting. also, '.' in place of 'p' in bottom right corner next to odometer reading. also, after initially parking and the first restart, power steering seemed completely inactive.

This will be the third time in 6 months that the car has had to be taken in to the dealership. it displays power steering error, engine light come on and car with drop speed with no warning. it also losses the power steering. it will then start up fine and run, but this time the engine light is remaining on. has happened in the warm and cold weather and after a long drive and a short drive. not sure why there are no other reports of this happening. it has happened when driving at 45 miles and this last time when trying to start it to leave my house. very scary to have your child driving this to and from school.

When first purchased this car i had it for a month and when connected to bluetooth i couldn't hear the other party and other party would hear loud noises i took it in to diagnose and they said it was fine. not the case continued to happen to this day. about 3 months into buying it when starting it delayed as if i had a couple years old car i think the starter is warning me it is going to give me problems. also when braking is doesn't stop as if i had a new car it delays and i have almost crashed a couple times in serious traffic it has breaks as if it was an old car

This car is been having problems since months of me buying it frustrated just beacause have to be alot in the dealer and long hours waiting

The vehicle's shifter console does not illuminate at night, leaving one to guess what function they are in (park, reverse, drive). a very tiny notification is on the electronic dashboard, but if that fails, then there is no way of knowing what function the vehicle is in. chevy says that the feature is standard, yet admitted that they left out of some 2017 trax vehicles. the shifter console does not illuminate regardless of whether your headlights are on or off. chevy has been made aware of this issue and informed that it is too expensive to fix the defect.
