Description of the problem | Started 2015 chevy trax in driveway and it started idling very rough. Car was working fine the previous day and had not been started / driven since. Left for work and car was jerking, loosing power and would not accelerate. Turned around and returned to house so dad could look at it and sister drove me to work in her car. Dad's comments: drove car to advanced auto parts, approx. 2 miles, where they checked the battery, starter and alternator. Battery / starter checked ok, alternator checked out as bad. *attempted* to drive back home and experienced same problems as daughter. Car was idling rough, was unable to accelerate, traction control light came on, check engine light came on. Pulled off the road, shut off car, waited a few moments and restarted. Check engine light stayed solidly on. Turned onto main highway and was unable to accelerate. Car started shaking and smell of burning oil was present. Check engine light was "flashing" since i was 1/4 mile or less from the house, i was able to limp the car home and called dealership. Vehicle was towed and is currently sitting at mcclusky chevrolet in kings auto mall, which is where the car was purchased used in jan 2019. Onstar sent 4 messages: one was service interlock braking system, two were regarding the traction control system and one was for the exhaust emissions system. Note: this is the 5th time the car has been taken in for major repairs since january 2019 (when purchased) and the 2nd time in 2 months it had to be towed in. Last time was jul 29, 2019 for failing brakes. Others have reported these exact same issues here on the nhtsa. Gov site so there are obviously issues with the 2015 chevy trax that gm is not addressing. |
