I’ve had to fix the AC within 2 yrs of owning my Chevy trax, fix the turbo within 3 years of owning my Chevy trax, and now fixing The engine at 5 years. I do not recommend the 2016 Chevy trax. I’ve maintained this vehicle very well, and am completely disappointed. I’m not even finished my payments on the car, and it’s a write off.
