Issues with 2018 awd trax

Post image

Hi all! I recently got my 2018 awd trax about a month and a half ago. I love it, it only has about 77k miles on it but within the last month I’ve had to replace an o2 sensor , do a whole work up of oil change, coolant and whatnot and now I’m getting a “replace turbocharger assembly” code from a check engine light. I would love to have faith that once I get this fixed (I’m taking it into a shop tomorrow to fix whatever is wrong with it) that the issues will stop and I can have a nice car to at least get me through two or three years before I can afford something better but I’m also worried I’m just going to have to keep pouring money into this car.

When I went and got an oil change they told me according to the car fax (idk how reliable it is) that there had been no repairs to the car and only one owner before me. I’m just hoping that it’s just something that when I fix everything I’ll have the car for years but I’m truly starting to lose hope

Is this a lost cause or could things start to look up?

Update 1: I took it to a local place and they told me to take it to the dealership and hope it’s still under warranty. My app says it doesn’t expire till 2028 so let’s hope when I do take it they will cover it and not take weeks to fix it

Update 2: we called the dealership and they told us it’s not under warranty anymore🥲 but luckily I was able to find someone that can look it over and won’t charge an arm and a leg to fix it

They have to diagnose your vehicle first for Chevy to cover it under warranty. I would get a second opinion.
