2024 Chevrolet Trax electrical system problems

“As I turned on the car and the dashboard display and the cockpit display went out. It came back on. A couple days later when the auto stop began and went to go the car hesitated to start and cockpit display and dashboard display went out and back on multiple times, but then stayed on. And then I went to start the vehicle next and it would not start, the both displays flashed, and engine tried to turn over and didn’t.”

“I own a 2024 Chevrolet Trax purchased new in XXX. On XXX, the vehicle displayed a "Service Power Steering — Drive With Care" warning. I experienced difficulty steering, and later that evening the vehicle would not start. The instrument cluster also displayed abnormal behavior, which was recorded on video. On XXX, an authorized Chevrolet dealership in [XXX], diagnosed a failed battery and replaced it under warranty. On XXX, while traveling on the highway with my family, the vehicle displayed "Engine Power Is Reduced" and struggled to accelerate. I sought assistance at an authorized Chevrolet dealership in [XXX]. The warning was cleared but returned shortly afterward. I have photographs, videos, repair documentation, and call records supporting these events. I am reporting these incidents because of the potential danger posed by sudden steering-system problems and loss of engine power during travel. I request that these safety concerns be reviewed for possible defects affecting this model.”

“I took my car to the dealership twice due to the CarPlay not working, screens going black, rattling noises, and the transmission shuddering, jerking, and jumping. The mechanic that test drove it stated it was a rough ride and the car did not return to first gear. The transmission fluid was black with metal debris. They rebuilt that same transmission and since then my car has been way worse. I reached out the dealership had a mechanic drive it, but every time he’d say oh that was my big foot. I asked why the 1 on the RPMs and the P on the gear shift flash while in park then my car shakes loudly. He laughed and said it was normal. We returned to the dealership the manager came out with my keys and said I am glad we found it safe and sent me on my way.”

“The instrument cluster and center console display intermittently appears to lose power, although in at least one incidence, the back-up camera display still worked while in reverse. Without instruments it is impossible to determine speed which can be hazardous. The vehicle is scheduled to be looked over by the dealer on 8/21/26. To my knowledge, there have not been any symptoms or warning signs prior to any of the incidents where a power loss occurred.”

“Headlight Issue While driving at night on a dark country road the headlights all of a sudden reduced visibility to about 5 feet and had a blacked out dead spot (like a dark shelf). We had to drive roughly 25 miles with this limited visibility which was extremely dangerous and nerve racking. The visibility range improved the next day but the dead spot (shelf) is still visible and visibility is still poor and limited to about 100 feet. This still makes night driving very difficult and dangerous. I contacted dealership regarding issue and all they did was raised the headlights 3 inches. This only raised the dead spot up a little bit but is still visible. I notified them a second time and no action was taken because there was no recall for this issue on vehicle.In 2022 models there was a recall for the exact same issue.”

“The contact owns a 2024 Chevrolet Trax. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 - 50 MPH, the message that an update was needed was displayed. The contact selected to complete the update later; however, the computer system continued to perform the update, causing all indicators, screens, and displays to black out. The contact was able to drive to the residence. The following morning, the systems operated correctly, and the update had completed. While attempting to turn off the vehicle, the radio failed to turn off at the same time. The contact had to first turn off the radio manually. While driving approximately 40 MPH, the message “Power Steering Fluid Low - Drive with Care” was displayed. The contact was able to make it to a stoplight after idling and then attempting to make a left turn, but the vehicle failed to exceed 6 MPH. The contact drove to Auto Zone. A certified mechanic confirmed that the power steering fluid was low. The certified mechanic diagnosed the vehicle, and the check engine warning light was displayed. The contact confirmed that the warning light was illuminated; however, when the mechanic inspected the vehicle, the warning…”
