2025 Chevrolet Trax: problems, recalls and reliability

“The speedometer/instrument cluster screen went completely black at startup on XXX. I had no ability to see my speed, fuel level, or any dashboard warning lights. I was forced to pull over on a public road and restart the vehicle. This is the second screen to fail on this vehicle — the navigation screen also went black multiple times beginning in February 2026. Capitol Chevrolet dismissed both incidents without performing any diagnostic inspection or repair. Vehicle has approximately 32,950 miles and is under active bumper-to-bumper warranty. VIN: [XXX].

“I have only had the vehicle 1 year and 4 months and I am already having to replace the wiper blades a for a second time. The fact that Chevrolet decided to put a wiper blades arm that no one makes adapters for except Chevrolet and the fact that I can’t just walk into an auto parts store and buy new blades is absolutely infuriating.”Owner report · Visibility/Wiper · May 2026

“On my way to work the car overheated causing me to be stranded in the middle of no where without cell service. When it got to the dealership to repaire the car, they stated that it was a cylinder head. The dearship had my car a little over a month for repairs, the dealership did finally give me a loaner for the last week of the repairs but I lost work and a client due to not having transportation. A week after receiving the car back I still had problems with a check engine light coming on occasionally with loss of power and it would go away. I did not trust the car at all.”Owner report · Electrical System,Engine,Fuel/Propulsion System · Apr 2026

“I am driving the vehicle and suddenly the information center and entertainment center will suddenly go black without warning. This will stay black for approximately 10 seconds. Followed by 2 chimes. A series of 4 lights on the drivers side front dash will come on. I believe this is related to the forward collision system(the lights that come on). The entertainment and information center then come back on without any errors or messages. I noticed this issue occurred all spring, summer and fall of and part of winter of 2025. Then it stopped thru mid april 2026 and then started again. The adaptive cruise is also shutting off without warning saying it's temporarily unavalable.”Owner report · Electrical System,Exterior Lighting,Forward Collision Avoidance · Apr 2026

“The audio system in my 2025 Chevrolet Trax produces persistent distortion and poor sound quality at normal listening levels. I brought the vehicle to an authorized Chevrolet dealer, and they reported that a speaker was replaced, but the issue remains unresolved. The sound quality affects my ability to clearly hear navigation prompts, safety alerts, and phone calls while driving. I am submitting this complaint so the issue can be properly documented and reviewed for potential safety impact”Owner report · Unknown Or Other · Apr 2026
