2015 Chevrolet Trax

The 2015 Chevrolet Trax marked a sharp departure from the preceding model years, which had recorded zero complaints but included 1-2 recalls per year. By contrast, the 2015 model introduced 94 complaints alongside the generation's peak of 7 recalls—substantially higher than both 2014 (0 complaints, 2 recalls) and the immediate 2016 follow-up (116 complaints, 5 recalls). The 7 recalls for 2015 represent the highest single-year recall count across the entire 2013–2019 generation arc, after which recall frequency steadily declined to zero by 2020. The top complaint categories for 2015 were Power Train (11), Air Bags (9), Engine (8), and Unknown/Other (8), with 13 crash-related complaints and 2 fire-related complaints recorded. While complaints did not decline uniformly after 2015—peaking again at 132 in 2019—the 2015 model's recall burden and the emergence of complaint volume suggest it may have been subject to early manufacturing or design corrections that were subsequently refined in later model years. The 2015 Trax falls near the beginning of a period of elevated owner dissatisfaction, and with the highest recall count in its generation, it warrants heightened due diligence regarding unresolved Powertrain and Air Bag concerns before purchase.
