Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 7,500 mi; spark plugs every 60,000 mi; coolant at 150,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 150,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

From 2013 through 2019, complaints rose steadily from zero to a peak of 132 in 2019, while recalls were present in the early years but disappeared after 2020. After peaking in 2019, complaints declined to 93 in 2020, then to 23 in 2021 and 9 in 2022, with no recalls or investigations recorded from 2020 through 2022. A resurgence occurred in 2024, when complaints jumped to 159 and one recall was logged, but the trend reversed again in 2025 with complaints falling to 76 and no recalls or investigations. The 2025 model year therefore sits on the descending side of the 2024 spike, showing fewer complaints than the prior year and continuing the pattern of zero recalls seen since 2020 except for the isolated 2024 event. With no recalls, investigations, and a complaint count well below the 2024 peak, the 2025 Chevrolet Trax presents a comparatively low‑risk option for a used‑vehicle buyer.
