Had to have the turbobooster on a 2017 chevy trax ls replaced under 120,000 miles $3722 was the cost of repair
Traveling about 25 mph I took my foot off the accelerator and tried to slow down but the gas pedal was stuck and the brakes were very hard to stop I actually had to throw it in neutral to make it come to a stop our thoughts were gas pedal was still at accelerating when I wanted to stop.
Driving in cold weather...the car just completely had no power when pressing gas pedal...seems line fuel system froze or turbo freeze.....Car then shut off with No check engine light...no warning light!! Started right back up and still had no acceleration.....very upset with this vehicle and no recalls.....Ive seen many post's with this same issue!!
IN COLD WEATHER DRIVING, 2017 CHEVY TRAX WILL THROW A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT 20 MINUTES AFTER STARTUP, WHICH SHUTS DOWN THE VEHICLES ABILITY TO MAINTAIN SPEED. THIS HAPPENS IN TOWN AND ON THE HIGHWAY. CODE SAYS TURBO FREEZING. THE VEHICLE WILL GO MAX 40MPH UPHILL ON THE HIGHWAY AND MAX 60MPH ON FLAT OR DOWNHILL HIGHWAY. HAVE TO PULL OVER BECAUSE CARS ARE COMING FROM BEHIND VERY FAST IN SNOWY CONDITIONS WHEN VEHICLE WILL NOT MAINTAIN SPEED. THE VEHICLE CANNOT ACCELERATE FROM A STOP EITHER. VERY SCARY. IN TOWN DRIVING IS ALMOST NOT POSSIBLE WITHOUT GETTING RUN INTO BECAUSE YOU CANNOT GET OUT OF THE WAY. WE HAVE 10 OF THESE VEHICLES AND THEY ALL DO THE SAME. CHEVY DEALER SAYS THEY HAVE A FIX, BUT CANNOT GETS PARTS TO FIX. ITS BEEN 4 MONTHS OF THIS MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WITH NO HELP FROM CHEVY. I AM FED UP.
