NHTSA Owner Complaint Log
This page lists owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA for the 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EUV. Complaints are unverified consumer reports submitted to NHTSA and do not by themselves prove a defect or defect rate.
One pedal speed control was used to slow down and stop the car approaching a busy intersection. The car came to a complete stop and was idle at the intersection. While stopped at the red light, the car suddenly accelerated into oncoming traffic and was directly heading towards a head-on collision. The driver turned the car to the left, avoiding injury, however, a party in the other vehicle was injured. The Chevy Bolt received extensive damage and was totaled. The police filed a report and the insurance company inspected the vehicle and has taken possession of the vehicle.
1) What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? - When a car stopped in front of us suddenly, the brakes on the car did not fully stop the car and continued to skid even when the break was pushed all the way down. I believe there is an issue with the EV braking system or software associated with the braking system. While this occurs rarely, this has occurred a handful of times in the last year that we have owned this car. The first time resulted in damage to my front bumper which had to be repaired. 2) How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? - Nobody has been hurt yet. But this is absolutely a safety concern for us. 3) Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? - We brought the car into the dealership in mid June 2024 and they said they found no issues with the braking system. They told me to contact Chevy's main phone number to complain. I tried calling but have not had any luck reaching a person, as I was simply put on hold for about an hour. 4) Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? - This was only inspected by the dealership during a routine service check in June 2024. No issues were found by them. 5) Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? - None that I remember.
The contact owns a 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EUV. The contact stated that on the driver's side, the wiper bolt had loosened causing the wiper to disassemble in multiple places and detach from the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the wiper had failed and needed to be replaced. The wiper was replaced but not repaired due to the one ordered not being suitable for the vehicle. The dealer informed the contact that the arm used for the blade associated with the vehicle was on backorder. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 45,000.
Last month I ran out of battery before getting home when the weather was 15 degrees and windy. Without my knowledge the vehicle was heating the battery significantly reducing the remaining range, no vehicle indicator warning that the vehicle was conditioning the battery. I realized what was happening when I turned on outside venting without using heat to defrost the window and the air was hot, if I was new to the vehicle or on my first trip I would have been stranded in an area where there may not have been a place to pull off the highway. I decided to report this in case it can save even one person’s life, there is an increased danger and liability not knowing this information. As most people, I set the cruise and pay attention to the road so majority of the time you don’t see the unknown increases in the kW usage, an update should be required to show an alarm of some sort and the additional active kW consumption and expected range deduction when the vehicle is doing any kind of conditioning (heating, cooling, or maintenance). There is a battery maintenance % view that should be modified to accommodate this.
Brake light problems, i.e., the brake and turn signal lights are mounted on the bumper. TOO low and dangerous. Trucks and pickups especially DO NOT see these low mounted lights. I've been almost rear-ended when stopping on numerous occasions. Drivers expect to see lights at line of sight NOT at the bottom of a vehicle. The earlier versions of the Boldt had the lights higher, why this poor design? It may be legal but certainly not acceptable in today's world. This is a SAFETY issue and unacceptable. Owners are rewiring their cars (see Chevy Boldt Forum or YouTube videos) which should not have to be done on a new 2023 vehicle.
While driving pulling into my driveway the vehicle emergency braking engaged causing a violent sudden stop. There were no obstructions or anything that got in the way of the forward sensor
I was driving normally at low-to-moderate speed when the brake -- or emergency brake, I'm not sure -- engaged for a moment all by itself, thrusting me forward unexpectedly. There was no "beeping" to indicate that there was any car, object or person in my way. It was temporary but terrifying. Fortunately, I was not rear-ended. This is the second time this has happened. I didn't report it at the time, but today, it happened again (I will report it under a separate incident) so this is clearly an ongoing issue.
The contact owns a 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EUV. The contact stated that since purchasing the vehicle, the vehicle had experienced several battery drainage failures, and the battery was drained within 2 to 3 days of being parked. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that occasionally the service engine warning light remained illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer, where the vehicle was diagnosed, and the contact was informed that there no fault was found with the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 8,000.
I have been getting errors when I charge the car since last year. 3500 miles on a brand new 2023 and it's been at the dealership for over 30 days they offered me 2000 bucks and keep the car under warranty and I would have to pay the lemon lawyers 800 so I didn't take the deal. I have no car but I still pay 836 for my car note.
While merging onto a highway with a 60 mph speed limit, we got an error message that there was a propulsion system error and our speed was limited to 30 mph. Our car slowed down and could not accelerate. There was no warning before the speed was limited and no way to change course. It was Saturday night Nov. 25th and we had our one and half year old daughter in the backseat. Thank god my husband was able to react quickly and that there was shoulder for us to pull over on. Honestly we could have been killed or seriously injured. It’s a huge safety issue that the car will suddenly, without any warning, prevent you from going above a certain speed. The purpose is to protect the car, as I understand it, but there should at the very least be a countdown. I’m incredibly grateful I can report this to and that there wasn’t a tragic accident, but if this how this feature operates, it only a matter of time before there is one. Also there is less than 1000 miles on our car.
Incident #23E065 Has a recall on the CHARGER and NOT the car itself. The car is not impacted but my ability to sell the car is. This needs to be changed so that I am able to sell the car, which has no defects, and is perfectly safe and drivable.
UNKNOWN Recall issue: there is a safety issue regarding the inconsistent Regen braking. Does not brake the same (or at all) when car is charged. Making it unsafe to rely on EV in braking scenarios. Braking should be the same (e.g., expected distance, hardness) whether fully charged or not. I know it is based on Regen requirements, but you can not rely on it to brake you (per expected distance) if just charged, as opposed to harder/shorter braking if battery is low, a.k.a. needing more Regen. Regen is a neat feature, but associated with inconsistent braking is not.
At less than 300 miles on odometer and while charging at a level 2 charger I checked my Chevy app and saw a warning for service airbag system. I had just checked it 15 mins prior and it was not on. Now it has an airbag light on…at 291 miles on the car. In car it says service safety restraint system. Still have to make a 200 mile trip back to my town in a couple days. Definitely frustrating for a car I have only had a week.
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The Transmission Fluid Pump failed, and is needing to be replaced. The car only had 200 miles on it and was bought 5 days prior before the issue began. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The car immediatley reduced my speed to 30mph. I was driving on an expressway, and caused me to slow traffic. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yea, I have the error code given to me by OnStar: P2797 Auxilliary Transmission Fluid Pump error Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? The vehicle has been brought into a Chevrolet service center and awaiting for a replacement part from GM. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? The check engine light came on and then the car immediately slowed my speed.
Near my work place, I drove by that intersection a numerous times. One day, when I almost finished making the left turn, it suddenly gave me collision warning and suddenly took brake on the left front wheel by itself for about 1 second. There was nothing in front of me.
We were driving slowly in Los Angeles traffic, trying to pick up a little speed, when the car suddenly seized up -- as it seemed to slam its brakes. We nearly had heart attacks, because there was traffic behind us, and the car behind us could easily have slammed into us. We didn't notice anything on the dash. We don't believe the car was trying to warn us about an imminent forward collision, because there were no "beep beep beeps" as there typically are when it senses a forward threat. Just a sudden breaking, and then it was fine again. Happy to have anyone inspect the car upon request, though I have my doubts they'd find anything. Note that there are already several other complaints about this car that have reported exactly the same problem. It really should be investigated!
I drove the vehicle roughly 5 miles on city streets then parked and walked away for roughly 15 minutes. I came back, got in the car, powered it on and attempted to shift but was presented an error message stating “Conditions not correct for shift”. The car seemed to be ‘running’, but the AC did not turn on despite the settings displaying that it was operating. Thankfully I was able to shut down the car after a few minutes and, after waiting a few minutes further, power it back up. This is the first time this has happened to me. Additional details: Mileage: <900 Age: ~2 months At first I thought this could be due to my own behavior. I live in the Southwest (desert). This is possibly the first time I haven’t remotely started the car and let it precondition, but that seems slightly irrelevant given that this happened at night (not baking in the sun) and, before the 10 minutes of rest, the vehicle should have theoretically been ‘conditioning’ during the previous drive.
The contact owns a 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EUV. The contact stated while driving at slow speeds, the vehicle lost motive power. The contact stated that several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated all the doors were locked except the front driver's side door and all the wheels were locked. The contact stated that the failure had occurred several times. The vehicle was towed to the dealer however, the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The contact was informed that the modules were reset and updated however, the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated the vehicle was currently at the dealer for the fourth time. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 18,000.
Moving at 3mph on slow freeway offramp, my Bolt EUV suddenly braked by itself for no apparent reason. I was at no time in danger of colliding with the car in front of me. However, the driver behind almost rear-ended me when surprised by the sudden braking and sounded his horn. Control Modules scanned at Culver City Chevrolet. No Diagnostic Trouble Codes detected. Problem not confirmed by dealer. An earlier incident of emergency self-braking occurred in May when traversing a speed hump at normal speed where no other vehicles were present. These are the only two instances of self-braking, both unexpected and unnecessary, during the first 5 months/2400 miles of new car ownership. Car is available for inspection upon request.
Upon starting car, and attempting to shift, display showed "Conditions Not Correct for Shift". Required turning off car, opening driver door, waiting for displays to turn off, then restarting car before shifting into any gear was possible
Frightening SAFETY Problem: Sudden Power loss on Los Angeles freeway. About 6/21/2023 began repeated episodes where my Chevy 2023 Bolt EUV hesitated for a few seconds before responding when I pushed on the accelerator pedal. Full power and acceleration resumed right after the initial hesitation and were sustained until I had to stop the car. A dashboard warning light appeared. I called for an On-Demand Diagnostic evaluation, spoke by phone with Chevrolet support who assisted with the evaluation and emailed me the results (screenshot) indicating an issue with the HCP - Hybrid Control Processor Module and a Diagnostic Code P2797. The Diagnostic Information read: "The Electric Drive Unit is not performing as expected. An issue has been detected in the Auxiliary Transmission Pump System..." The “Recommended Action” was to “Service within 7 days.” (Screenshot) I contacted the dealership where I purchased the car and was told that I would have to leave it for several days before evaluation/servicing could be done. However the next morning (before I could take the car to the dealership) the instrument panel alert had disappeared. So I considered it all a temporary "glitch". Then on 8/27, driving about 60MPH on very busy 405 Freeway in Los Angeles, the car suddenly lost most of its power and slowed down…with an orange dashboard warning icon “Propulsion Power is Reduced” and another message that speed limited to 30 MPH. Alarmed and fearful, I turned on emergency blinker lights, moved to right lane and exited freeway at next off-ramp. The problem persisted as I slowly drove surface streets to destination and parked. Several hours later I started car; alert message came on but car accelerated normally. I slowly drove home on surface streets. On 8/29 another Chevy dealership identified "Scanning Code P2797" and "Replaced Transmission Fluid Pump” by warranty coverage. No problem since. Service manager said she has seen 3 similar problems. I see similar reports online.
Brake lights are too low on vehicle - middle lights are only running lights. Drivers behind vehicle in stop and go traffic must rely on high mounted third brake light mounted at peak of vehicle roof line, especially difficult for larger vehicles (SUVs, Trucks) to see low mounted brakes, with expectation that the middle lights will indicate braking. Multiple reports and complains regarding this issue are posted online and also in this database.
Multiple instances seemingly at random of steering wheel not adjusting to center, wanting to turn one direction or another, and generally loose feeling of steering. This is all with the lane keep assist feature off.
After rain, the locks on the vehicle would not lock or unlock whether by using the key fob, interior door buttons, or OnStar app. After approximately 2 hours the locks began working again.
Was driving along and received a “Propulsion Power Reduced” warning on dash and couldn’t go over 30mph while on a highway. Had to limp along on the shoulder. Pushed the OnStar button and they ran a diagnostic test which came back with P2797.
The contact owns a 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EUV. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power and shut off without warning. The contact attempted to restart the vehicle however, the vehicle failed to restart. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and the contact was informed that the 12-volt battery was not being used enough and rebooted the vehicle. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was 3,350.
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? - I believe it is the electrical component, or wiring component that is under the hood. It spontaneously caught on fire in the middle of the night with no indication of arson or outside source. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Definitely a safety concern since how would anyone know if their car will not spontaneously catch on fire while driving, parked, inside a garage? Not only my own safety concern, but for my family and neighboring houses/cars' safety as well. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? GM Claims department only stated that they went by NFPA921-2021. However, no detailed report was produced, or at least they say it never did, even though we requested more than two dozen times. And evidently, just closed the case without giving us a valid reasoning or evidence of anything. And as for the NFPA921-2021, it is two years old already. Please keep in mind that GM had this car for almost 3 months for investigation but no report, reasoning, or any valid understanding for a consumer's point of view. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? GM said they did but no investigation report or work report or anything related to that has been provided. NO EVIDENCE, NO TRAIL, NO INVESTIGATION REPORT. Only denial letter. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear None of the warnings were shown prior to this. 3 months of investigation from GM, but no reports, no investigation report was produced or provided. How can we as a consumer, believe what they are doing is valid and fair?
I, and many other owners of Chevy Bolts are having our speed suddenly reduced without warning. The vehicle immediately drops to a max speed of 30 mph and gives an error message "Propulsion Power is Reduced". One common cause seems to be defective transmission fluid pumps, although other electrical and mechanical components also seem to cause this problem. One common error code seems to be P2797, along with the "Propulsion Power is Reduced" message. This dangerous speed reduction is sometimes happening in dangerous situations, while driving in heavy traffic and at high speeds on highways. This is an incredibly dangerous defect and could easily cause car accidents, injuries or death. People are also being stranded without warning. There are many posts (dozens+) about this on various owners groups, including Reddit, Facebook groups and others. The Bolt brake lights and turn signals are also placed in very bad locations which are not obvious or visible, which is also incredibly dangerous.
I was driving on CT Route 2 using super cruise. We came upon a construction zone and the bar on the steering wheel changed from green to red. The car came to a complete stop in the middle of the highway and didn't respond to the accelerator pedal. This is a frightening situation on a super highway. I tried pressing the buttons that turn on and off the cruise control, super cruise, etc. with no effect. Cars behind me passed on the left and right. I finally tried putting the car in Park and back into Drive. From that point on it worked normally. This is the second time this happened. The first time I had only had the car for a week, so I thought it was just a mistake on my part. I did have a dash cam running, but the files are too large. I will keep them on my computer should you wish to have them. The consumer stated that during this incident, they could not take over control from the Super Cruise.
I just bought a new chevy bolt euv from a dealership here in Michigan. No sooner than me driving off their lot, a pickup truck damn near ram into me. I was in thick traffic following slow vehicles and the only damage cause was a skid mark on the road he cause. No damages to my bolt. He roll down and said fix your brake lights. I yell back, it's factory! I'm scared to hold onto this vehicle when it comes to winter time. Most vehicle's license plate get obscured by snow. These brake lights and turn signals are even below the license plate. A recall and a redesign needs to happen. Too many people expressing negative opinion on this issue on the forums. Thank you for reading this. Have a great day.
We were pulled over because a police officer could not see our brake lights. We told him that the lights are at the bottom of the vehicle and not in the logical spot. I exited the vehicle and showed him that the brake lights were located at the bottom of the vehicle and not where you would expect the brake lights to be. My husband was driving and he tapped the brakes so we could see that they were working properly. He issued us a warning. As a sidenote, the officer really was looking out for our safety and not trying to trap. He said that he had to document the traffic stop. This really isn't a issue of a faulty product but there should be a recall where the brakes are connected to the running lights in an area which is where you would expect the brake lights to be.
On the freeway going 70 mph our car decided to slam on the brakes. We had it on supercruise which also uses adaptive cruise control. It was not raining, it was overcast, we were in farm country with no bridges or signs over the roadway. No cars around. It was very scary! I have 2 other cars with adaptive cruise control and have never experienced this.
Got rear ended. I learned that the brake lights on the Bolt EUV are mounted low and are small. The large rear lights that people would normally assume as brake lights do not light up when braking. This could increase the chances of rear end collisions.
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The door locks automatically unlock when the car shuts itself off if the key fob is inside. Yes, it is available for inspection. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Twice now, once in this car, and once in my previous car (a Bolt rather than an EUV) I fell asleep at a charging station, in the Texas summer, with the A/C running, and when I woke up, the car was off and the doors had automatically unlocked. I believe this has happened to other people. See, for example: https://westchester.news12.com/police-duo-to-be-charged-after-stealing-a-car-while-it-was-charging Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? No, but as I wrote, it has happened to me with two separate vehicles, a 2019 Bolt, and a 2023 Bolt EUV, and it is eminently reproducible. Get in the car, lock the doors, leave the car on and wait an hour. When the car shuts itself off, it will unlock the doors (I believe because the key fob is inside.) Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No. But I sent an unacknowledged email to GM's general counsel on 9/1/2019 the first time it happened in my 2019 Bolt EV. It still happens in my Bolt EUV. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No.
Iv'e owned the Bolt EUV for a few months and I was almost rear ended at least 4 times. One time the person tapped my rear bumper with their license plate and left a very light mark. There wasn't enough damage to make a report and the driver stated that they didnt notice me braking. The brake lights are too low and not very noticable( see attached photo with arrows). This issue can easily be corrected. The Bolt EUV has a light in the middle right above the rear window that only operates at night when you turn on the lights. They should have it act as a break light also.
The brake & turn signal lights are located at the bottom of the bumper, however the vehicle has additional taillights midway up the back of the vehicle, these are in the traditional area of the car, however these taillights in the traditional place do not indicate a stop or turn. This is where most people’s eyes are focused when they are following you, not at the bottom of the bumper. This creates a situation where it’s possible the vehicle following you will have at least a delayed reaction in stopping when you do. Upgrading the mid level lights to indicate stop and turn would eliminate this unsafe situation.
I just bought this vehicle this Sunday. I drove about 400 miles and Wednesday, I got warning ️ electric drive unit ️. Yesterday I took my car to dealership and got call from them that auxiliary transmission issue and they will replace it. Car is still at the dealership, now we are afraid to drive that car and what if it jeopardizes our safety. We drive a lot for work as a home health provider.
The service safety restraint system light intermittently comes on. This has occurred multiple times over a one month period. I have seen this happen two different ways: 1) after turning on the vehicle, the message appears in the instrument cluster and the airbag light illuminates. The message can be dismissed and does not reappear while driving although the airbag light remains on. 2) Same as (1) with the exception that the vehicle will “chime” and display the message several times during a trip with the message reappearing each time. The vehicle was taken to the dealership for repair. They stated that there were two stored codes that could be related. Since they were unable to reproduce the issue, they asked that I take the vehicle back without any repair made.
The contact owns a 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EUV. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the speedometer failed to operate at an accurate speed and the energy dropped to a zero percent while accelerating. The contact also stated that while shifted into reverse, the rear-view camera failed to alert that someone was present. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle failed to recharge over 80% battery life. No warning lights were illuminated. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacture was notified of the failure and the contact was advised to take the vehicle to the dealer for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 3,200. The contact stated that the vehicle is displaying codes that should not be displayed for this type of vehicle.
The contact owns a 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EUV. The contact stated while the vehicle was in reverse(R), the cross-traffic alert system failed to alert of passing vehicles within 60-ft of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a dealer however, the failure could not be duplicated. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 100.
First off the Forward Collision Alert doesn't work until your about 1 to 2 feet from impact, no matter which of the 3 settings it's put on. We were so close to impact to the rear of a semi when the service tech was testing it that I was very uncomfortable. The lane assist doesn't work until you're left of center or it bounces you back and forth like a drunk drive, plus it doesn't always reconize the yellow or white dotted line. On occasion it will completely go over left of center and put you in the left lane. (It will not maintain the car in the center of the lane.) Today after service the appointment on the these problems, 7 March 2023 both the service Tech and Service manger told me they're just warnings nothing they can do about it. The manufacture sells sheet clearly states Foward Crash Alert. What good is it if your crashing when the alert goes off. It aloso clearly states on the sheet Lane keep assist w/lane departure alert. Again if your already left of center before you're alerted or corrected what good is. The Tech didn't even enter anything about the Anti collision not working but he did joke with the service manager about making me uncomfortable when we were about to collide with the semi.
Started the vehicle then attempted to shift into reverse, got "Conditions not correct for shift" error displayed on dashboard. Could also not shift into drive. I was able to shift into neutral and have it towed. I tried powering down and back on. Powered off, locked the car and walked out of keyfob range for 10min then returned and tried again. Nothing worked. Eventually the problem cleared up on it's own by the time the tow truck arrived (45min later)
The brake lights are 28” approx from the ground but they sue very difficult to see from behind with other cars especially large vans trucks and SUV’s. The blinkers also appear to be red and don’t stand out. The combination make it appear like a reflector not a brake light and blinker. I’ve had the car for 5 days and have almost been hit from behind 3 times. This us a safety issue. Gm should make the upper light set blink and brake that’s in view of most drivers. Kia Hyundai is also doing this but their blinkers are Amber. Both ate accidents waiting to happen. This needs to be fixed asap.
This car is equipped with Super Cruise an automated driving feature that I believe had a huge part in my inability to avoid hitting a deer. There should be many more considerations and warnings to consumers to protect them. In my situation I kept driving for much longer than I should have because the strain was not so bad. But the feature does not have a feature to pull over. I had to manually pull over and it was in this short period of time where I was clearly too impaired to drive without super cruise but with it I was still fine I could keep my eyes open and on the road which was the only requirement. I was really not prepared and should have been told to make sure you get off the road sooner than you think because once you’re off the highway if you don’t have enough alertness to even pull over or in my case avoid a deer running straight toward my car. The steering feature steered me back toward the deer as I tried to steer away from it. It was running toward me so I tried to steer away to brake. In order to overpower these safety systems I needed to be more alert. Nobody talks about this and I’m normally a really alert driver that’s never been in an accident before I’ve avoided many without these safety features. I know it was my fault for being too tired, but again people shouldn’t be learning that in a life or death situation that should be explained to them. Obviously I would never use that feature until the point I was too tired like I normally do when I’m driving because like I said there is no safe way to pull over if you don’t have the alertness. I mean imagine it was a child and not a deer and I hit a child. That would be a mistake you can’t come back from and I don’t want that to happen to me or anybody else. I’m really second guessing all of this automatic driving because us as consumers have not been properly educated on how to use them safely cause I don’t think these automakers know they are in such a rush to beat each order to market it’s dangerou
Adaptive cruise failed just over 2k miles following another vehicle under 60mph and sped up to set cruise of 75 and would have hit the truck if I didn’t stop it, I took video of failure directly after the incident. First bolt EUV camera failed more than once even after it was replaced, that car was bought back under battery recall. My point is, it’s a continued issue. With lane keep assist you must always be prepared for it not to function, it doesn’t always work and have to cycle the on/off button (same with previous EUV too). While in super cruise in my current vehicle it tried to locate the left lane but a big rig was on the line and my car appeared it was going to hit the truck multiple times within a few seconds as each time I had to bring the car back to the center until I turned it off. I have parts on order but I personally don’t believe that will be the end of based upon my two vehicles.
Break lights are hard to see. Too low on bumper
The contact owns a 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EUV. The contact stated that while in reverse(R), the infotainment screen displayed a red, triangular warning symbol, rendering the back-up camera inoperable. The contact also stated that an alert feature warning the driver of incoming objects also failed to operate as needed. In addition, the contact stated that the infotainment system intermittently failed to return to normal operation while shifted out of reverse(R). The vehicle had been taken to the dealer on numerous occasions where the wiring harness, back-up camera, head unit, infotainment screen, and other parts related to the defect had been replaced; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer had been notified on numerous occasions about the failure but offered no solutions. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 1,506.
I was parked coming back from a store. I started the vehicle and was immobilized. That words “Conditions Not Correct for Shift” were on screen for almost 30 minutes. I could not change to neutral, reverse or drive. After shutting the vehicle off several times, I called OnStar for a tow. 20 minutes later, the message disappeared and I was able to drive again.
"service safety restraint system" Warning keeps popping up on screen. Took to dealer for repair. Problem not fixed. Warning still pops up.
I just recently got my 2023 BoltEUV and I have discovered that the configuration of the rear end brake lights is dangerous because people expect the lights on the hatch to be the brake lights, but they are actually only running lights at nights. The brake lights and turn signals are actually much lower down in the cars bumper - this is not where people expect them to be. As such, a few people have almost rear ended me already since they are looking in wrong place for the rear brake lights. I suggest the hatch lights are updated to be the running lights and brake lights (ie. they should get brighter when brakes are applied). The lights in the bumper should only come on when the hatch is open. (just like 2017-2021 BoltEVs used to have).
