Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Trax owners report experiencing intermittent dashboard warning lights while braking, which could indicate potential issues with the brakes or transmission. These warning lights may flicker due to a technical crash in the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), signaling a possible malfunction. Additionally, if the brake warning light remains illuminated after the parking brake is fully released, it may indicate a brake malfunction. Some owners note that the ABS warning light can illuminate when there is a problem with the ABS, suggesting it may not operate properly. A brake warning light could also signify major brake component failure, often experienced through a "mushy" brake pedal due to low brake fluid levels. It is crucial for owners to address these warning lights promptly, as they can indicate serious issues such as low brake fluid, a malfunctioning brake system, or ABS problems. It is recommended that affected owners have their vehicles inspected at a Chevrolet service center to diagnose and resolve any potential issues.
