Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Trax owners report experiencing intermittent issues with the radio and screen going blank, which may be linked to electrical system problems. These issues could stem from a weak alternator or battery, as noted by several owners. Additionally, problems with the head unit or body control module have been identified as potential contributors to the screen malfunctions. There has also been a recall related to intermittent blackouts of the instrument panel display, which could be associated with the reported screen issues. To address these problems, General Motors offers a software update, and inspecting the wiring harness for any issues may help diagnose the situation. It is advisable for owners facing these concerns to consult with a mechanic or authorized service center for proper diagnosis and resolution.
