Recent Complaints
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.
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.

On Wednesday, July 30, 2025, while driving home from routine shopping errands, I suddenly heard a loud âpopâ 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
Three times while using the Adaptive Cruise Control, the car applied the brakes without cause (âphantom brakingâ.) 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 wonât 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.

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 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.
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, 2025â62 days after deli
The steering feels like it's grinding when reaching 60mph. If the wheel is turned left of center, roughly between 11 o'clock and 12 o'clock it will start grinding. If moved from that position, the grinding stops. GM says the part is out of warranty. The vehicle has 41,000 miles and the cost to repair is $7000. I see many others with the same problem. Q: What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? A: The failed component is the steering gea
The windshield fluid when used, goes into the cabin. It is made with toxic substances that can affect the people inside the car. Pregnant women, infants and people with respiratory problems are more affected.
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
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.
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
