STARTED 2015 CHEVY TRAX IN DRIVEWAY AND IT STARTED IDLING VERY ROUGH. CAR WAS WORKING FINE THE PREVIOUS DAY AND HAD NOT BEEN STARTED / DRIVEN SINCE. LEFT FOR WORK AND CAR WAS JERKING, LOOSING POWER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. TURNED AROUND AND RETURNED TO HOUSE SO DAD COULD LOOK AT IT AND SISTER DROVE ME TO WORK IN HER CAR. DAD'S COMMENTS: DROVE CAR TO ADVANCED AUTO PARTS, APPROX. 2 MILES, WHERE THEY CHECKED THE BATTERY, STARTER AND ALTERNATOR. BATTERY / STARTER CHECKED OK, ALTERNATOR CHECKED OUT AS BAD. *ATTEMPTED* TO DRIVE BACK HOME AND EXPERIENCED SAME PROBLEMS AS DAUGHTER. CAR WAS IDLING ROUGH, WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. PULLED OFF THE ROAD, SHUT OFF CAR, WAITED A FEW MOMENTS AND RESTARTED. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED SOLIDLY ON. TURNED ONTO MAIN HIGHWAY AND WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. CAR STARTED SHAKING AND SMELL OF BURNING OIL WAS PRESENT. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS "FLASHING" SINCE I WAS 1/4 MILE OR LESS FROM THE HOUSE, I WAS ABLE TO LIMP THE CAR HOME AND CALLED DEALERSHIP. VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND IS CURRENTLY SITTING AT MCCLUSKY CHEVROLET IN KINGS AUTO MALL, WHICH IS WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED USED IN JAN 2019. ONSTAR SENT 4 MESSAGES: ONE WAS SERVICE INTERLOCK BRAKING SYSTEM, TWO WERE REGARDING THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM AND ONE WAS FOR THE EXHAUST EMISSIONS SYSTEM. NOTE: THIS IS THE 5TH TIME THE CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN IN FOR MAJOR REPAIRS SINCE JANUARY 2019 (WHEN PURCHASED) AND THE 2ND TIME IN 2 MONTHS IT HAD TO BE TOWED IN. LAST TIME WAS JUL 29, 2019 FOR FAILING BRAKES. OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THESE EXACT SAME ISSUES HERE ON THE NHTSA.GOV SITE SO THERE ARE OBVIOUSLY ISSUES WITH THE 2015 CHEVY TRAX THAT GM IS NOT ADDRESSING.

I HAVE HAD MY TRAX IN FOR SERVICE 5+ TIMES DUE TO THE "BYOM" MEDIA AND DUE TO MY CAR BEING HACKED THROUGH THE "GLITCH" THROUGH THE MYLINK MEDIA CENTER AND INFORMANT SYSTEM, WHICH, IRONICALLY, AT THE BEGINNING OF MAY 2016, A RECALL NOTICE WAS SENT OUT ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I HAD MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE FOR THE 5TH TIME (SAME THING!!!) AND GM EXPLAINED TO ME THAT I WAS MISSING RELAY'S AND FUSES IN MY CAR (YES, CAUSE THE CAR DOESN'T LOCK AND THE REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY HAD A GLITCH IN IT DUE TO THE RECALL")! I HAVE FILED SEVERAL CASES WITH GM ABOUT THIS AND HAVE HAD MY IDENTITY STOLEN, 2 WEEKS AFTER GETTING THIS VEHICLE!!!! SINCE THESE ITEMS WERE MISSING, THEY WANTED ME TO PAY FOR THIS OUT OF MY OWN POCKET, AGAIN GM'S RECALL AND ISSUE NOT MINE!!! SINCE I WOULDN'T PAY FOR WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN WARRANTIED, THEY REMOVED THE MISSING COMPONENTS FROM MY CAR, CHARGED ME $250 FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC AND A LOANER CAR (TOTAL SCAM AND THEY ARE ALLOWING ME TO DRIVE AROUND WITH MISSING COMPONENTS THAT WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT THE GLITCHES IN THE "BYOM" AND CAR!? I AM DRIVING AROUND A SAFETY AND IDENTITY THEFT HAZARD NOW DUE TO GM AND THEIR LACK OF FOLLOW THROUGH ON A KNOWN ISSUE BROUGHT TO THEIR ATTENTION AT THE BEGINNING OF 2015 AT DEFCON CONVENTION!! SEE WIRED.COM- SAM KAMKAR BROUGHT THIS TO THEIR ATTENTION. THEY SOLD VEHICLES THAT WERE HACKABLE AND ARE JUST NOW BRINING IT TO OWNER'S ATTENTION! I AM BASICALLY DRIVING AROUND A CAR THAT MAY OR MAY NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY FOR MY SAFETY DUE TO THEIR GREED AND LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THEIR ISSUES BUILDING THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS A DEATH HAZZARD TO ME AND THE 6 YO TWINS THAT RIDE IN MY CAR!! I WANTED TO BRING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION AS I AM CONTINUING TO BE FOLLOWED AND HACKED IN MY CAR DUE TO THEIR NEGLIGENCE.
