The instrument cluster (speedometer etc.) and info system goes blank periodically while we are driving the vehicle. The entire cluster goes black, then after about 30 seconds to a minute it comes back on. This was a recalled item on the 2024 Chevy Trax, but apparently it the recall did not extend to the early 2025. This is very concerning issue, especially when driving on the freeway at night. I was advised by the service writer at the dealership that I need to leave the vehicle with them for 5 to 7 days so they can conduct diagnosis even though I schedule an appointment with them 2 months ahead of the appointment and described what the issue was.

We’ve only had the vehicle for a few months and while we were driving the engine rod basically broke in pieces damaging the engine and almost causing us to wreck. After looking at the other GM engines being recalled for engine rod issues and complete engine failure. This sounds like the same incident and needs to also be added to this. It’s put us out and almost caused us to wreck after only 11k miles on the vehicle.

While driving, all of a sudden dash went blank. No gauges, no speedometer, just a blank screen. I was near the dealer where I had purchased it and drove in. Service dept was closing but a mechanic disconnected the battery and reconnected it and the dash worked. The mechanic said he never heard of this happening before, but when I got home and researched it it has happened before. My wife uses the car to transport our grandkids, and I cannot imagine the screen going blank on the freeway at 65.

I’m reporting a recurring issue with the windshield wiper blades on my brand-new 2025 Chevrolet Trax vehicle. The driver-side wiper blade consistently leaves streaks across the windshield, especially during rain. This significantly reduces visibility, particularly dangerous at night when glare from oncoming headlights worsens the problem. I’ve already had to replace the wiper blades multiple times in just a few months, yet the issue keeps coming back. This poses a serious safety risk, and I’m concerned that it may be a manufacturing or design defect affecting more vehicles. I am told by Chevy that I can only purchase the OEM wiper blades and I have yet to be able to find any aftermarkets that fit this car. I urge the NHTSA to investigate this issue before it leads to accidents or injuries.
