Some Chevrolet Trax owners report experiencing difficulty starting and stalling issues, particularly after refueling. These problems may stem from fuel system issues, such as poor quality gas or water in the gas tank, which can cause the engine to stall. Additionally, a faulty evaporative emission control system purge valve may lead to an overly rich fuel mixture, complicating starting after refueling. Electrical system problems, including a dead 12v battery, corrosion on battery terminals, or a dead key fob battery, can also hinder normal starting operations. Furthermore, ignition issues, such as a lack of spark, can result in misfire-related error codes. Mechanical components like a bad starter or alternator may contribute to hard start or no start conditions. To effectively address these concerns, it is recommended that owners consult a qualified mechanic or visit a RepairPal Certified shop for expert diagnosis and repair.
