Reliability & federal safety record

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

The 2022 Chevrolet Trax sits at the tail end of a generation that has seen a clear decline in complaints and recalls after a peak in 2015–2019. In that period, complaints rose to a high of 132 in 2019, while recalls stayed at two or fewer each year; by 2020 the complaints fell to 93 and recalls dropped to zero. The 2022 model year reports only nine complaints and no recalls, a further drop from the 23 complaints in 2021, indicating a continued downward trend. Top complaint areas for 2022 are limited to a few engine‑related issues and no crash or fire complaints were recorded. Given this steady improvement and the absence of major safety recalls, 2022 is a solid choice for a used buyer, though attention should still be paid to the listed engine complaints during inspection.
