This happened the first night that I drove this brand new vehicle since owning it. While driving at night, there is what I would describe as a Hard line of headlight illumination on the roadway in front of the vehicle. I would describe the hard line as being illuminated toward the bottom and at a certain point further up, the light suddenly stops and is just a black void, creating a black line. While driving up and down roadways that have hills, there is a definitive line that the headlights do…

The audio system in my 2025 Chevrolet Trax produces persistent distortion and poor sound quality at normal listening levels.

2026 CHEVROLET TRAX

Filed May 4, 2026


In the last 30 days of obtaining my first brand new vehicle, there have been a couple of incidents where I have put my truck in Park on an incline (hilly street or driveway), and you can hear the brakes grinding once my foot has been removed from the brake pedal. It gives the impression that the brakes have not stopped. It’s unusual to hear and in my concern, I activate the emergency park for extra security. It’s a little scary to think that the brakes won’t do what they’re designed to do.
