2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV owner complaints

Car has 38000 miles and when turning the steering will not return back. Loud popping coming from front of car when turning steering wheel.

Steering has been become stiff at lower speeds and does not return to center. There is also a knocking noise when making turns. Chevrolet dealer has indicated that the steering rack/gear needs to be replaced. Vehicle is at 115,000 miles, and the problem started happening around 112,000 miles. Although the vehicle does have a lot of miles, I've owned vehicles way past 200,000 miles and have never had to replace a steering rack at a cost of over $3,000.

Steering wheel would bind up when returning to center after turning, requiring sudden additional force to go in the intended direction. Occurred on a regular basis, verified by the dealer and required steering gear replacement. Steering was also generally stiffer than normal.

Steering not return to center. Dealer diagnosed steering gear needing replacement. Dangerous on turning on a corner as have to pull wheel back to center manually.

steering wheel does not return to center after a turn. I have to force center the wheel after a turn. This is a common issue known to bolt euv owners online and should be a recall by the manufacturer due to poor steering rack build.

Steering does not return to center after making turns at slower speeds. Upon reviewing complaints from numerous other Chevrolet Bolt owners it appears to be a faulty steering rack that needs to be replaced.

The steering does not return to center at lower speeds. This appears to be a very common problem affecting these cars after about 40k miles due to faulty part. Repair can cost $3k. Worried that the steering could lock up and cause an accident. My wife didn't even notice until I drove her car and brought it up. Some people could be driving for years without knowing.

There's a very common issue with these vehicles where the steering rack breaks and causes a number of issues including a clunking noise when driving over bumps and a rattle in steering wheel when turning left and right. However the most important and dangerous issue is that the steering wheel stops returning to center after making a turn. The steering wheel will move about 1/2 of the way back to center and then just stop and I have to manually turn it the rest of the way. You can imagine how dangerous this could be if someone doesn't realize what's happening and the car continues turning and goes into oncoming traffic. I have to manually turn the steering wheel back to center to avoid the car veering into the oncoming lane of traffic after making a turn. GM can fix it by replacing the rack

I bought my used 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV on March 16, 2024 from a Chevy dealer. It was a Certified Pre-owned vehicle. It had only 4,000 miles on it. The Chevy dealer informed me that the latest diagnostic software had been installed per a recall to keep the Hight Voltage battery from overcharging and that the car will only charge to 80%. But after I have driven the car for 6,214 miles (10,000 km), the car will automatically allow a 100% charge. The car now has 12,000 miles on it and still will not charge to 100%. My Bolt was recalled per GM recall N242470160 and NHTSA 24V-812 to fix this problem. The new software was installed on Dec 20, 2024 and the car will only charge to 80%. When I asked the Chevy Service Consultant when I can charge my car to 100%, he didn't know and thought the

When exposed to full sun, the Adaptive Cruise Control system has difficulty detecting any cars in front of the vehicle. This leads to the vehicle accelerating up to the set speed which could lead to a crash.

I was driving home on the highway a few days ago I had just picked up my daughter from school as usual. My chevy braked on the with no vehicle in the front only one in the rear. The car breaked so hard it nearly stopped and the car behind swerved out of the way.

On Wednesday, July 30, 2025, while driving home from routine shopping errands, I suddenly heard a loud “pop” from above the vehicle. Importantly, there was no collision, no debris, no road hazard, and no indication that anything had struck the vehicle. I was not involved in any incident that could have caused external damage. When I pulled into my garage and inspected the vehicle, I immediately noticed severe damage to the sunroof: Multiple large cracks radiating across the glass Shattered and fractured areas near the center A small hole in the glass with loose shards visibly protruding outward, suggesting that the force originated from inside the panel Loose glass pieces resting above the interior fabric sunroof shade, which fortunately prevented debris from falling into the cabin The

Three times while using the Adaptive Cruise Control, the car applied the brakes without cause (“phantom braking”.) Two of the times there were cars behind me that could have rear ended me given the unexpected, rapid deceleration. The problem has not been reviewed by the car dealer (because they won’t return my calls.). No other parties have inspected. No warning lamps or messages. Incident dates: 5/9/2025, 6/22/2025, and 7/19/2025.

On [XXX], my vehicle experienced a battery failure detected by its onboard software, significantly reducing propulsion power and disabling charging capabilities. I delivered the vehicle to GM Dealer Bill Pierre Chevrolet in Seattle on the 16th of January and was informed it required a complete battery replacement. Initially, I was advised the replacement battery would arrive by January 28, 2025, and installation would take approximately two days. As of today, March 19, 2025—62 days after delivering my vehicle to GM—I have received neither an update nor an estimated timeline for repair completion. During a follow-up call earlier this month, Bill Pierre Chevrolet reiterated they have no ETA and suggested I inquire again at the end of the month, though they expressed uncertainty about when t

Generally when driving a a slow speed and truing a corner the vehicle will suddenly speed up to about 15 miles per hour. Over the last 2.5 hears this has happened about 30 times. On at lease three (3) occasions a passenger has been with me and can confirm this has happened. Each time it has happened my hands have been on the steering wheel and I have not touched any of the controls. This happens very randomly. I have taken my EVU Bolt to the dealer at leas 10 times. They have not been able to duplicate the situation. I have been in telephone and e-mail contact with the Chevrolet, EV Concierge to seek help. They suggested that I do not use the "One Peddle" feature and when it happens take a picture of the screen at the steering wheel. One time I mentioned the problem to the car s

On Thursday, August 14th, while pulling into a parking space my car accellerated speed by itself and the engine sounded like it was reving up loud. I had to slam the brakes to get the car to stop. i narrowly missed hitting two other vehicles.

Firstly, day/night sensor failure caused failure in left front headlamp turn signal system. This was repaired successfully. Secondly, Airbag system failure that I saw was a common problem across many vehicles.

The front facing camera and the rear backup camera and the entire camera system is intermittent. Sometimes it works and sometimes it does not. You become a bit dependent on the backup camera and when it does not work & it causes undue stress especially if you are handicapped in the neck turning area. The problem has not been taken to a dealer yet because they cost is prohibitive to just drive it in the door. When the failure occurs, there is a red triangle and a camera with a red circle with a red line through it. This is a documented problem (TSB 23-NA-062) with this model vehicle and should be made a recall. Many others have reported this same issue. Chevrolet will not fix it without cost of up to $1500 or more if the car is out of the 36K warranty

Our brand new car is giving us a “Service Safety Restraint System” warning. It constantly comes on and off over and over every minute or so and Chevy is saying there is nothing wrong with the car. Please help.

I installed four new Goodyear ElectricDrive 2 tires (P 215/50 R17) on my 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV on 05/08/2024 at Discount Tire in Round Rock, TX (Store #TXA 23). The tires were balanced as part of the installation. After six days of normal commuting, on 05/14/2024, the vehicle began experiencing significant vibrations at highway speeds 60 - 70+ mph. As a point of reference, the passenger side headrest was visibly moving back and forth due to the vibration. I took the tire back to Discount Tire and, after removing the tire from the wheel, they discovered that the SoundComfort noise reduction foam inside of the tire had come dislodged and was bunched up inside of the tire. The foam did not appear attached to the inside of the tire in any way. After the foam was removed and the tire remoun
