2023 Chevrolet Bolt Euv Recalls, Issues & Maintenance

“Steering gear assembly malfunction. Internal rack & pinion failure is present. Rack is binding/seized. When making a turn on the vehicle, the steering wheel does not return to center, creating a highly dangerous situation where if the steering wheel is not manually returned to…”

“I am experiencing a well known flaw in the Chevy Bolt steering rack. The rack loses grease over time and eventually begins making clunking sounds, does not return the steering wheel to center, and makes steering less precise”

“The steering is heavier on the car and does not return to center after turning. This causes danger while driving if someone cuts off in front of me or I have to stop suddenly due to an animal or any other conditions”

“This vehicle has now suffered 5 instances of phantom braking, clear road and clear weather in 10,000 miles of use. Two occurrences within the last week despite carefully cleaning the car and sensors/camera. Twice I have nearly been rear-ended. The dealer found no issues when…”

“On several occasions, the car has locked the breaks, causing the car behind me to almost rear end me. The forward collision camera thinks it sees an object or another's vehicle in front when there is nothing on the road and activates the breaks for no reason. This has happened…”

“I was taking a left turn from [XXX] onto [XXX] in the outer (right) lane. As I was exiting the turn, the AEB went off suddenly without warning -- the car came to a sudden and complete stop. There were no cars or obstacles in the road ahead of us in either lane”

“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”

“I purchased a used 2023 Chevy Bolt EUV one week ago today and was shocked to learn of a known issue with the rear brake lights many claim is a very serious and hazardous design flaw. Undoubtedly, you have received complaints from fellow 2022 & 2023 Chevy Bolt EUV owners who have…”

“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…”

“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…”

“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…”

“I was driving in my neighborhood a few miles from home on a state road going about 45/50 mph. The car suddenly slowed to 30 mph without warning, an alert said there was a problem with the propulsion system and speed was limited to 30mph. There was no prior warning or indication…”

“The camera system—including the backup cameras when you put it in reverse— more often than not produce an error on the display screen instead of a view of the rear rendering this mandated safety device unusable. It is available for inspection. The rear view camera is a mandated…”

“Intermittently, the car's cameras will be unavailable for the duration of a drive. Backup camera does not show a feed when the car is in Reverse. Simply turning the car off and back on again does not resolve the issue. Issues goes away by itself, and reappears some amount of…”

“Rear backup camera feed fails to display on infotainment screen. The issue appeared about a month ago and persisted until I took it into the dealership. The service center updated the software, and the camera initially worked properly again, but within 2 weeks of the repair, the…”

“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…”

“The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the message "Service Transmission - Unauthorized Shift" was displayed. While attempting to shift into drive(D), the gear shifter failed to move to the intended selection. The contact stated that a tow truck arrived and while…”

“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…”

“Dashboard went blank for a second and reset itself twice while driving at 65 mph in the mountains of AZ, near sunset. This happened once in 18k of driving, right after infotainment system partially failed: audio failed and parts of touch screen failed to respond”

“This model has a dangerous driving problem that is difficult to reproduce; however, it points to a flaw in a coupled design that causes simple infotainment system failures to negatively impact both on-star help system and critical driving system. This problem recurred on [XXX]…”

“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…”

“The contact stated while driving at approximately 3 MPH and turning into a parking spot, the contact stated that the vehicle independently accelerated, drove over the parking bumper, and crashed into a tree”

“While turning into a parking space, my car unexpectedly accelerated rapidly. My car crashed into a concrete barrier damaging the front end and tossing items around the car. Additional details: I was driving my car in single-pedal mode. In this mode, when you lift your foot from…”

“While slowing down to park, just before stopping, my husband took his foot off the pedal and the car accelerated. This happened twice in the past week. He had the “break assist” feature engaged, which automatically breaks the car when you remove your foot from the accelerator.…”
