The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Trax. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, an abnormal, burning odor would emit throughout the vehicle cabin without warning. The contact's husband inspected that vehicle and discovered that the coolant had leaked out of the reservoir. The contact initially took the vehicle to the dealer where they informed her that the water pump and a transmission valve were leaking. The contact then took the vehicle to an independent mechanic where they replaced the serpentine belt. The contact stated that the vehicle was not equipped with a temperature gauge which caused the contact to not know that her vehicle was overheating. The contact stated that additional work needed to be performed on the vehicle due to the lack of a temperature gauge. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had been repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 81,000.

CAR AIR CONDITIONER STARTED TO BLOW HOT AIR. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE A MULTI-POINT INSPECTION. FOUND REFRIGERANT TO BE LOW, UPON FURTHER INSPECTION HVAC DYE ON COMPRESSOR. WAS TOLD THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR NEEDS TO BE CHANGED OUT.

MY CAR STARTED TO OVERHEAT. I NOTICED THE RADIATOR CAP WOULD NOT CLOSE ANYMORE. I HAD TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR CAP. CAR KEPT OVERHEATING, TOOK IT INTO THE SHOP AND IT TURNED OUT I HAD TO REPLACE THE THERMOSTAT, WATER OUTLET HOUSING, AND WATER PUMP.

THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILED AT 88,000 MILES CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. THIS IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AFTER 80,000 MILES. WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION UNTIL REPLACED, BUT THERE IS A NATIIONWIDE BACKORDER ON THIS PART. IS THIS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT THEY AREN'T TELLING THE CAR OWNERS ABOUT? CAR DOES NOT RUN AS EFFICIENTLY, CONSUMES MORE FUEL THAN PROMISED.

I NOTICE A BURNING OIL ODOR FROM INSIDE MY TRAX AFTER THE CAR WARMS UP OR IN WARM WEATHER. USING THE AIR CONDITIONER IS OUT OF THE QUESTION ON THESE 90+ DEGREE DAYS. I PLAN TO GET THE CAR IN TOMMORROW TO HE CHECKED. BETWEEN THE BURNING OIL UNDER 9500 MILES, THE BAD BRAKES UNDER 4000 AND ROLLOUT BACKWARDS WHEN AT A STOP ON AN INCLINE, WORST CHEVY, PROBABLY LAST I EVER BUY.
