Thinking about buying a Trax, either new or 2025/26 used. Coming from a 2014 Jeep Cherokee that’s just been a nonstop nightmare over the many years. If it isn’t one things it’s another and I never want to own a Jeep ever again. Tried to lemon law it back in the day but dealer talked us out of it every time.

Anyways back to the Trax, wanted some owners opinion’s, we are worried that it has no vents in the second row like our Jeep does. Does it get too hot or cold back there? We have a baby now and tired of the Jeep breaking down, I’m just worried about it getting too hot back there in a Trax.

Thank you!

Edit: if we do get a Trax, we plan on getting one in white to help with the heat.

I just got this car yesterday (30,000 miles) and I have been trying to feel it out to see if it is shifting hard, or I am just not used to a turbo engine. I was going 60 on the freeway and pushed it to 80. It changed gears at 5000 rpm. Is that normal, or does that seem high?

I bought a brand-new 2025 Chevy Trax 1RS back in 2024, and I’ve had ongoing issues with the infotainment system. It was glitchy, and the backup camera would randomly switch to a fisheye view and even stay on while I was driving.
About a week ago, the dealership replaced the entire infotainment system. Unfortunately, the day after I picked it up, I realized that wireless Apple CarPlay no longer works. It works perfectly if I plug my phone in, but not wirelessly.
I’ve tried just about everything I can think of: restarting my phone, forgetting and reconnecting both my iPhone and MyChevrolet, resetting the infotainment system to factory settings, testing my boyfriends android… no luck.
I do have it booked back into the dealership, but the earliest appointment is three weeks away. Has anyone else run into this after having their infotainment system replaced? Any suggestions or fixes I can try in the meantime?
Sincerely,
A very frustrated Chevy owner. 🚗😅

F*** this car. Right in the ass. Once one thing goes wrong, it all starts falling apart. I'm a heavy driver but I learned to drive sensible at one of my old jobs and even still drive 5 mph under speed limit. Yesterday I needed a new valve cover because the PCV had stopped working. Spent$250 for them not to seal it right. On the way home, getting on the highway not doing hard acceleration but getting up to speed It gives me hell and the transmission clanked but then when I got home white smoke came out the tail pipe, but the engine seems fine. Ever since the radiator fan was out 3 weeks ago, I had an impending doom feeling.

Still owe $7k.

Hi everyone I just want to know what is the best starter to replace a failed starter with 2021 Chevrolet trax lt?

Edit: I know now that there is no 2023 Trax :)

I’m considering buying a used Trax, hopefully a 23/24 with around 30,000 miles. There’s some options at local dealerships with prices that are within my budget.

My last car from a dealership was a Kia Niro hybrid (which was totaled in an accident, sadly). With what I’m looking for, hybrids are out of my price range; so considering the Trax. I’m test driving soon, but -

I want to know people’s honest opinions, is it comfy, how does it drive, what’s the mileage like, what are your petty complaints? TIA!

Hey friends,

Taking home my new-to-me ‘24 trax Activ later today. I’m wondering what sort of little practical quality of life improving mods or upgrades yall are doing. Thanks in advance!

So I’ve had my car for about 2 years. I loved the way it ran but I’ve had to take it to the dealership so many times. It’s in the dealership right now. What should I do? Do I trade it in?
