What are some of the Chevy Trax turbo problems?

I financed 2014 Chevy Trax Lt with turbo three years ago. I have 2.5yrs left on it. I just noticed that my check engine light was on and I took it in for a transmission service today and the gentleman told me that the P0299 error code came up showing as a turbo underboost . What could be the cause of this?

Does a turbo gone bad on a 2015 Chevytracks, make it overheat

The top complaints associated with ownership of the Chevy Trax Turbo include inadequate braking and rolling backward on inclines as well as exhaust fumes entering the vehicle.

2018 Trax turbo has gone bad 3 times since I bought the car. Each time dealer has different reason but all from turbo problems. Never buy a GM turbo vehicle as it will fail and cause more problems when it does.

This week is the 2nd time my 2015 trax is at the dealership for turbo failure issues. I ran the code P0299 on my scanner this morning hoping it was just a bad low pressure sensor connected to it. Sadly within 5 months of owning the car this is the 2nd time I’ve had to take it in; and now have it replaced. Hopefully it’ll last me the remaining duration of my financing on the car.

2016 trax.tuebo bad at 82000 miles.GM says they'll pay for turbo repair but I need to pay $1900 for the parts the turbo ruined. That's Bull

2020 trax 11500 miles turbo low pressure. Not shifting properly at highway speeds. Sluggish engine knocking. Dont buy one.

2015 Chevy Trax turbo problems for the 2nd time since owning the car in 4 months now. P0299 code both times. I’ve noticed many complaints about this issue. Recall should be made this is insane! Receiving another turbo to be replaced. I’m sure it won’t last long either. Mark my words!

2016 Trax back at dealer for check engine light after $1400 oil cooler replacement. Now coolant sensor replacement required because of coolant on the sensor resulting inn $600 cost. Only 42000 miles. GM needs to address

Just got 2015 trax few months ago turbo went out . It was cover by a lifetime war. Yesterday gave it gas and the RPMs went down no gas power .

I bought my 2016 Chevy Trax at the dealership in 2020. It's been in shop numerous times. I've replaced the flex pipe, radiator, water pump, cam shaft seals, serpentine belt, valve cover seal. It's showing a check engine light again. Every time I take it to the dealership I get get another problem to fix but they won't look at the turbo. I've even changed the spark plugs and coil pack. It only has 89,900 miles. I know that's part of the problem. I have hesitation and poor gas mileage, delayed take off

2020 trax bought it new. Just had the turbo replaced which is bullshit I’m basically all highway miles and always use synthetic oil. Bad mechanical design off the actuator arm to the turbo wastegate swivel. Going Toyota soon!!!!!

I have a 2015 trax turbo and get po171 codes frequently, had it in to GM and they diagnosed a leaky flex pipe, had it replaced but within 5000 miles the codes coming on again. It got real bad when very cold weather hit. I'mwonderingif this motor cannot run properly on 87 octane gas...

I have trouble w turbo. Engine light comes on and goes off after a couple of days. My mechanic said the same engine on the Buick was recalled. But chevy hasn’t recalled. $1500 to fix….

Just replaced my turbo in 15 trax last week and already need a replacement. Sluggish at highway speeds.

2017. Turbo failed and replaced at 108,000. One year and 16 days later (today), at 129,000, turbo failed again. Of course I only had a 1 year warranty on it.

I have a 2020 Chevy Trax and had a check engine light on happens to be 12/30/23 night of and 12/31/23 AM when I found out it was for the turbo engine underboost. I talked with the dealer and he said it’s not recommended to drive my car around far distances until it gets fixed. Which messed up my NYE plans and now I have to wait until Tuesday to get my car fixed.

I am now at 40k I have had my 2019 trax in the shop for a turbo failure 4 times and have had the engine rebuil. The solution seems to be buying a Toyota and not looking back.

On a 2018 Chevrolet trax I have several codes POO299,POOF5,PO171,any suggestions for a fix?

I have a 2018 trax, check engine light came on while highway driving, followed by loss of power trying to accelerate up an incline. Made it home, went to take to garage the next day but check engine light was now off so nothing they could really do. Was fine for about a week and then check engine light came on again followed by another loss of power. I bought a code reader immediately and got P0299. The dealership said it would be a month before they could look at it, so a local garage had a look and advised they've seen this same issue in other Traxs and Cruze 1.4L turbo engines, and long story short the entire turbo charger has to be replaced. I was further advised after this repair is done, it's not uncommon for the turbo to fail again or even worse entire engine failure. Getting the turbo repaired, quoted $2000 CAD. After this repair is complete I will be looking to trade in on a new vehicle, and definitely not a GM with a turbo! Garbage engines!!

Chevy trax 2015 same problem with the turbo.. Buick recalled it. Same engine!! Chevy has not. Too much to fix.Light goes out after a couple days. Happens more when AC is on

Had an oil leak on 2016 Trax. Had to replace oil cooler. $1400 repair. Dealer had car for 4 days. Got the car back today and son said check engine light came on and engine knock. I drove and no check engine light but intermittent engine knock. Back to dealer in AM for diagnostics.

My 2016 Chevy Trax I'm on my fourth Turbo in a month

My 2015 Trax turbo failed at 43,000 miles. I was out of state and luckily found a dealer who replaced it within two days. GM and the BBB are STILL arguing about this being a known issue and reimbursing me for out-of-pocket costs. Good luck!
