The instrument cluster is blacking out again. There was a recall for this issue previously. While driving the instrument cluster along with the radio will go out for a period of time. It happening frequently
Digital Dash went Black when I started my vehicle, remained black even when I turned off the vehicle and restarted.
On March 22, 2026, I was driving at approximately 45 mph, and my daughter was in the passenger seat, trying to connect her music to the car radio and the instrument panel (dashboard) screens went completely blank. For several seconds, I had not readings from the dashboard lighting. It went completely black. It then reset itself, much like a computer when you restart it. Within a short time (less than a minute) the instrument panel began working again. This was the third time this has happened to this vehicle. The first time was in July 2024 and the second time in November 2025. Both of those incidents were reported to NHTSA. There had been a software recall for NHTSA 23V744000 for this very problem in 2024 Chevrolet Trax, but my VIN was not included in the safety recall for increased risk of crash. I brought the Trax to the dealership after the third incident. They did a software update on 25-NA-071. I hope this remedies the problem.
My 2024 Chevy Trax’s engine (1.2L turbocharged I3 engine) went out while driving on the expressway (about 70mph) in the middle to left lane. I had to come to a complete stop and safely and immediately get my car on the left shoulder without injuring myself or others around me. My own safety was severely at risk as I was as close to the dividing wall on the left side as I possibly could be but cars are racing through right next to me. Another safety risk to be added is I was dropped off in the most sketchiest plaza and stranded from 12/1am-3am. I was left to lock myself in my non operating vehicle in a country I do not reside in. Issue was confirmed the following day or two at a dealership I got the car towed to, they found a hole in my engine block due to a rod. And all documents can be provided. Police and blocker trucks were unable to arrive to the scene for 40+ min and the car was fully investigated by GM. There were no engine lights or warnings on the Chevrolet app or car dash. The only thing I can mention is on my last documented oil change, the oil was low due to high consumption, no leaks were located. Dealership also found the fuse box blown, I assume hot oil gushed all over my wire harnesses or the oil switch flipped the sensor which caused further issues, or simply a power surge. Current cause is unknown.
Vehicle randomly shuts down for few seconds and then restarts - occasionally it will not restart the engine and I have to manually turn the key. This occurs when I am driving and is a safety hazard. I have had battery checked several time and it always passes - I was directed to open a ticket for a recall - as this issue is known with other Chevy's. A couple times it occurred while turning the corner - luckily no accident occurred.
I was driving at a low rate of speed after leaving my house and the instrument panel (dashboard) screens went completely blank. It was as if the computer system was resetting/rebooting. Within a few seconds, the instrument panel screen started working again and I could see the instrument panel readings. It was unnerving as I had my daughter with me. This is the second time the instrument panel has gone completely blank. The first time was in July 2024, and I filed a report with NHTSA in complaint number 11677778. That complaint generated no recall for my vehicle even though there is a recall NHTSA ID: 23V744000 for 2024 Chevrolet Trax vehicles with the same problem I have now have had twice. Since this problem has occurred twice, and there is already a recall on 2024 Trax vehicles for the problem I am reporting, there is an electrical system issue that should be corrected as it is clearly a safety issue.
My car has been to the dealership over three times to have my digital dominator and my touchscreen looked at as a blackout in the middle of driving I could be using GPS or just talking on Bluetooth and it kicks it back onto my phone then I’m becoming a distracted driver because I have to use my GPS and now I have to pick up my phone and look at my phone until it decides to pick back up on my screen My screen would blackout. This has been three years of dealing with us. General Motors still has no solution to it refused to do a buyback in my car offered me an extra warranty on electrical components but that you can’t even figure out what the issue is. I’m paying almost $700 for a car that I have nothing but issues with.

•The instrument cluster in front of the driver seat went all black. Wouldn't show lane assistance icon, rpms, speedometer, turn signals, warning lights, adaptive speed control. It would show when I clicked the auto stop on/off button if the auto start was turned on or off. Currently is still installed on vehicle. I'm going to the dealership tomorrow after work to see what they will do. •Safety of myself by not knowing what speed I'm going or if any warning lights turn on including the brake warning light or the tcs light. Safety of others is the same as safety for myself. •so far the problem is intermittent for me. It happened for the first time today after I left the store, then got home and restarted the engine and it still was a completely black instrument panel. Then I turned it off and disconnected the battery and reconnected it and the instrument panel currently is working again after that. •the component hasn't been inspected by anyone yet but I'm bringing it to the dealership after I get off work. •there were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problems prior to the failure. I don't know if there were any when it first appeared because the instrument panel is the problem...
