About 1 month ago I picked up my daughter from school. Just as we exited the parking lot, there was nothing in front and the brakes came on and the car turned off and would not restart for a few minutes. The same day, we were on the way home I was traveling about 35mph. All of a sudden the brakes came on again. This time there was nothing in front but many cars behind, so I floored the accelerator the car tires screeched. I was less than a mile from home and made it without incident. The dealership is unable to reproduce or review the logs because the vehicle stopped logging everything since December 4th. The car is in my driveway and I don't trust it can safely be driven. The dealership is not helpful by telling me to just monitor the situation and bring it in if it happens again. I am s

Around 5 PM on 10/7/22 I was driving on Purcell Road in Manassas VA. The car has a 60% charge on it EV battery showing a range of around 170 miles. As I was driving I felt the Chevrolet Bolt stutter twice, as if it was loosing power. Then, when I stopped at the stop light at Purcell and Hoadly the car shifted into park and would not shift into any other gear, including neutral. Any attempts to shift would give an error warning "Conditions Not Correct for Shift" In addition to being unable to move the car out of the intersection, the car could not be shut down. Pressing the power button would make the screen flicker for a moment and then it would power itself back on with the same "Conditions Not Correct for Shift" error. Onstar was called about the problem and shortly after the p

I was driving the vehicle approx 35mph on a surface street when it suddenly lost propulsion. There was no warning. The display suddenly showed 0 rand and 0% high voltage battery SOC. I had to cross multiple lanes of rush hour traffic with no propulsion to coast to a stop. Once parked the vehicle would not go in gear and would not move. It was towed to a dealer where a blown manual service disconnect lever (high voltage battery fuse) was found to be blown. The dealer determined the root cause to be a faulty level 2 charging station I used earlier in the day. After contacting the charging station vender there was no fault found with the station and no other complaints filed with its operation. The fuse blew 6 miles after being charged, not while it was charging. I asked for the dealer to con

2022 Chevrolet bolt. Consumer writes in regard to NHTSA safety recall 21v-650 being incomplete. The consumer stated the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time completing/determining a fix for the recall repair.
GM issued a recall for fires on 20 August 2021. I immediately called to have the vehicle returned via their team and was given case SR:9-6888176701. GM has ignored five emails for update and many many phone calls have gone unanswered from my representative. Calls to the generic line have stated I would be contacted within 48 hours twice with no call or email. GM now says you cannot park within 50 feet of cars, your home or be inside your garage or even use the battery fully without risk of fire that would burn down the car and possibly your home or the cars around it. GM Needs to buyback all the bolt vehicles on the road

When I use the windshield washer fluid some of the vapors gets in the cabin. The fluid contains methanol and it is highly toxic.
The system in question is the Super Cruise hands free driving system. There has been several instances where the system has swerved the vehicle without warning or reason. There have been several instances where the system has failed on mapped road. There have been several instances where the vehicle wouldn't drive in the center of the lane, but instead on the lines or too close to other vehicles. I have dash cam footage and cell phone footage of the system failing and can duplicate it without issue. The vehicle spent over 30 days at the dealer and they were unable to fix it. The message that will appear when the system intermittently won't activate is "super cruise unavailable" I have attempted to work with my dealer, GM, and Onstar and nothing has been done to take my safety seriously
steering 1 complaint shown
2022 Chevy Bolt, less than 10,000 miles. Problem began 11/24/23. Steering wheel locks up at low speeds, gives warning "Steering Assistance reduced" at higher speeds. At low speeds, steering wheel turns only a small amount before it clicks and stops. Very dangerous in tight parking lots or trying to turn left or right from a stop - takes multiple tries to get steering wheel to turn, and sometimes it jerks back in the opposite direction. Took it to dealer, they said steering column needs to be replaced. Did not have an accident or hit anything prior - I think the column is defective.
lighting 1 complaint shown
The car was changed for 2022 where the brake lights are no longed displayed with the tail lights and instead lower down in the bumper area on small lights. Cars following me do not notice these lights and end up almost hitting me. The dealer states that this is how GM has changed the lights from the prier year. Last year they would only go to the lower light if the tail gate was open for some reason. Which I thing is a good design but the way my car is now is very dangerous and is an acident waiting to happen.
