Wife purchaced a new 2017 Trax LT on Black Friday, Initially happy with vehicle but at 2940 ish miles it started to act up.
Went to back out of Garage and The DIC display had a few messages.
Back up camera inoperative ( it was working)
Service required, Traction control, powertrain.
Traction control lightwas on.
Tach would drop to 0 and bounce back up to around 1000 just bounced up and down.
It backed up fine but struggled to get back into garage, very slight incline.
Brought into dealer next day.
P0299
P150C
P2544

A couple of days later we were told they needed to order parts but they are on backorder and they were not sure when they would be in.

They were nice enough to give my wife a well used 2004 impala to drive but after a few of days they wanted it back. My wife was able to to talk the saleman into letting her test drive a new Equinox but that didn't last. After ten days they said come and get your Trax they have no idea when parts would be in. They cleared the codes and it has been ok, but we wonder all the time if any damage could happen to the engine driving it unrepaired.
Well it has been one month to the day almost, 4600 miles and it's doing it again, Service told my wife they could clear the codes but it is all they could do. So I stopped in to talk to service manager and the best he could do is make an appointment for next week so they can look at it again. He also said it is a nation wide issue.
Checked for codes again and have P0236 and P1101.
So we are stuck driving a vehicle that at times will not top 20mph, driving 35 miles one way to work and back and travelling with the Grand children in sub zero temps waiting for this thing to expire.
Wife has had enough, she wants out of this vehicle, everytime we make a payment the car has issues, we do not trust it anymore and are afraid something bad is going to happen to it or worse one of our family members.
How do we get rid of it ?
