What are the common issues with the GS3?
2 Answers
The common issues with the GS3 are: slow acceleration and firm seats. The Trumpchi GS3 is a compact SUV model under GAC Trumpchi, officially launched on August 26, 2017. The vehicle offers two engine options across all trims: a 1.3T turbocharged engine and a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, paired with either a 6AT transmission or a 5-speed manual transmission. The dimensions of the Trumpchi GS3 are 4350mm in length, 1825mm in width, and 1685mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2560mm. It is a 5-door, 5-seater SUV with a 6-speed manual transmission and turbocharged intake.
Speaking from the perspective of an ordinary owner about the common issues with the GS3, I've been driving this car for almost two years now. The most frustrating problem is the occasional gearbox jerking, especially during traffic jams where the gear shifts feel sluggish, making throttle response less smooth. Another issue is the squeaking noise from the suspension system when driving over bumpy roads, which is quite annoying. My friend's car has the same problem, likely due to subpar factory bushing materials. The air conditioning is slow to start in the summer, sometimes taking a while to blow cold air, which affects comfort. Additionally, the plastic interior parts tend to crack over time, especially around the door handles. I recommend regular transmission fluid changes and sticking to the maintenance schedule to alleviate these issues. Overall, it's a reliable car, but these minor problems need attention.
