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?

I was already breaking and on track to stop well behind the vehicle in front of me. I had just pulled around stopped traffic in another lane, which seems to be common in all the incidents I've had like this. The safety concern is that the vehicle stopped unexpectedly, and if traffic behind me hadn't been paying attention, they could ha https://plaincars.com/make/chevrolet-bolt-euv https://plaincars.com/make/chevrolet-bolt-euv#complaint-2163694 Tue, 06 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT 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 safety device required on all passenger vehicles. Not having it available makes it much easier to back into other vehicle https://plaincars.com/make/chevrolet-bolt-euv https://plaincars.com/make/chevrolet-bolt-euv#complaint-2159264 Sat, 20 Dec 2025 00:00:00 GMT The steering wheel locks at 9 and 3 when turning the wheel.

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 issue recurred and persisted. Federal safety standards require all vehicles made after May 2018 to have functioning back https://plaincars.com/make/chevrolet-bolt-euv https://plaincars.com/make/chevrolet-bolt-euv#complaint-2146710 Fri, 07 Nov 2025 00:00:00 GMT I have a chevrolet bolt for which I have a mychevrolet app link to control the vehicle remotely. For some reason I just noticed my mychevrolet app also is linked to a second chevy Bolt (the vehicle I am noting the VIN of in this complaint) for which I have no ownership of. This is a massive security lapse by chevrolet and they need to be investigated thoroughly as to why this occurred. https://plaincars.com/make/chevrolet-bolt-euv https://plaincars.com/make/chevrolet-bolt-euv#complaint-2145411 Mon, 03 Nov 2025 00:00:00 GMT 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. This is a very common issue within Chevy Bolt forums and should be addressed by Chevy as a safety issue. https://plaincars.com/make/chevrolet-bolt-euv https://plaincars.com/make/chevrolet-bolt-euv#complaint-2144534 Thu, 30 Oct 2025 00:00:00 GMT 2023 Bolt's steering wheel doesn't return to center position while driving making it dangerous to drive. https://plaincars.com/make/chevrolet-bolt-euv https://plaincars.com/make/chevrolet-bolt-euv#complaint-2143134 Sun, 26 Oct 2025 00:00:00 GMT Steering system not behaving as expected.

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 of a problem. The sudden deceleration almost caused the car behind me to hit me. https://plaincars.com/make/chevrolet-bolt-euv https://plaincars.com/make/chevrolet-bolt-euv#complaint-2136750 Mon, 06 Oct 2025 00:00:00 GMT 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 nev https://plaincars.com/make/chevrolet-bolt-euv https://plaincars.com/make/chevrolet-bolt-euv#complaint-2121518 Mon, 18 Aug 2025 00:00:00 GMT 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.

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.

I drive for 4-5 hours a day and when I hit a decent bump in the road or enter/exit a steep driveway the drivers seat will click forward or backward a notch. This has happens every day, several times per day. https://plaincars.com/make/chevrolet-bolt-euv https://plaincars.com/make/chevrolet-bolt-euv#complaint-2113991 Fri, 25 Jul 2025 00:00:00 GMT 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 dat
