ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
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.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
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.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
Potential Consequences:
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
I’ve had my 2025 Chevy tracks for less than a year at first having issues in January 2025. I was driving back from my son‘s birthday party and the entire dash just went black. I could not see the mile per hour I was going and I could not see my radio my entire front dash just blacked out for almost a minute. I was driving at the speed of 70 miles an hour when this occurred putting myself and others at risk I was able to pull over on the side of the highway to see the issue going on with my vehicle. I turned off my vehicle and turned it back on thank you. Maybe that would resolve the issue, but it clearly didn’t. I contact GM. I contact the dealership Dutch Miller and explain to them the issue that did did occur. I took it into a shop. The dealership looked at it. They updated it the system in my car. Which I thought that resolved the issue for a few months and now I’m back to the dash going black when I’m driving, took it back to the dealership again and they said that they couldn’t find any issues and we just gotta wait until a recall occurs with GM. Been contacting General motors about this issue. This is a safety hazard and extremely dangerous when you’re going speed limit at high speed and you cannot see anything on your dash it is terrifying and scary especially when you have your family in the car. Hopefully GM gets this fixed. It’s a brand new car should not have any issues.

Defect Description:
STRUCTURE:BODY
Potential Consequences:
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The vehicle’s rear structure and frame were compromised. After a low-speed rear-end collision (approximately 5 mph), the frame bent, and the vehicle was declared a total loss by the insurance company. The car is no longer available for inspection as it has been taken by insurance, but documentation including photos, insurance reports, and repair estimates is available upon request. 2. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The fact that the frame sustained significant damage in such a low-speed collision raises concerns about the overall durability and crashworthiness of the vehicle. This could indicate that the vehicle might not provide adequate protection in more severe collisions, putting occupants at risk in real-world driving conditions. 3. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes, the damage was confirmed by the insurance adjuster and an independent collision repair shop, both of whom concluded that the vehicle’s frame was bent. The repair facility stated that the vehicle could not be repaired due to the extent and nature of the frame damage. 4. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Yes, the vehicle was inspected by an insurance adjuster and an independent body shop. The manufacturer has not inspected the vehicle, and police were not involved as it was a minor collision without injuries. 5. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No, there were no warning lamps or messages prior to the incident. The issue only became apparent after the vehicle was rear-ended, at which point the structural damage was assessed.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Potential Consequences:
The contact owned a 2025 Chevrolet Trax. The contact stated while driving 35 MPH with cruise control mode disengaged, and approaching the red traffic light, the brake pedal was depressed. The contact stated that the vehicle responded temporarily, and then the vehicle accelerated unintendedly. There was no warning light illuminated.

General Motors, Llc
Defect Description:
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
The interior of this car includes many chrome accents. Chrome on the steering wheel, center console around the gear shift, and chrome around the touch screen. When driving, the sun reflects off of the chrome like a laser/mirror, impacting the visibility and safety of the driver. I am looking into ways to "black out" the chrome, but it truly is a safety hazard! Chevrolet should provide a "chrome delete" kit and keep chrome on the EXTERIOR, not on the INTERIOR.
