Some Chevrolet Trax owners report experiencing issues with the fan continuing to run after the engine is turned off, which may be caused by faulty components such as the fan relay, temperature sensors, ECU unit, high-pressure switch, coolant liquid, or thermostat. This problem could also indicate a cooling system malfunction, particularly with the thermostat or temperature sensor. While it is normal for the fan to operate for a few minutes post-engine shutdown to cool the engine and AC condenser, some owners find that low radiator fluid levels can trigger the fan to remain on unnecessarily. It is recommended that affected owners consult a professional mechanic to diagnose and resolve the underlying cause of this issue.
