Chevrolet Bolt euv problems
The Chevrolet Bolt EUV (short for "electric utility vehicle") is a battery electric subcompact crossover SUV manufactured by General Motors under the Chevrolet brand, presented on February 14, 2021.
As a larger version of the similarly named Chevrolet Bolt EV, the EUV shares its BEV2 platform and powertrain.
History
The Bolt EUV was introduced in February 2021, and released to the Mexican market on August 17, 2021. As the first EUVs were arriving at dealerships in August 2021, all vehicles were recalled to replace the traction battery; Bolt EV and EUV production was paused from November 2021 to April 2022, and fewer than 400 Bolts (both EV and EUV) were delivered before April.
It is the first Chevrolet vehicle to receive the hands-free Super Cruise driver-assistance package.
Unlike early versions of the Bolt EV, the battery for the Bolt EUV is manufactured in the United States at LG plants in Michigan.

Chevrolet Bolt euv 2023
- Date Of Incident: 2024-01-18
- Date Complaint: 2024-10-21
- Crash: 1
- VIN: 1G1FZ6S00P4
- Components: SERVICE BRAKES
- Summary: 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.

- Date Of Incident: 2024-08-15
- Date Complaint: 2024-08-15
- VIN: 1G1FZ6S04P4
- Components: FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: Forward collision warning / automatic emergency braking engaged with no hazard in front of the car. Occurred in slow, heavy traffic at approximately 20 mph. Lanes were straight (not on a curve). Vehicle in front of mine was at least four vehicle lengths ahead. Lanes to the left and right were occupied by large box trucks - I suspect they confused the system. Car has just over 10,000 miles. Vehicle briefly braked hard, which if the vehicle behind me had been following too close could have run into mine. Have not yet contacted a dealer or service center. Not inspected as no actual collision occurred. System once gave an erroneous warning of forward collision with no other vehicles on the road in the first month of service.

- Date Of Incident: 2024-06-25
- Date Complaint: 2024-06-25
- VIN: 1G1FZ6S00P4
- Components: VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE,LANE DEPARTURE
- Summary: The situation occurs when using supercruise (GM’s lane centering and adaptive cruise control system). Under certain conditions with super cruise engaged and one pedal drive mode active, pressing the cancel cruise button (example: taking manual control briefly in order to allow a merging car into your lane) causes the vehicle to abruptly decelerate without the ability to override with the pedal. This uncontrollable abrupt deceleration poses a hazard to vehicles behind me. This deceleration can only really be overridden by proactively pressing on the accelerator prior to disengaging the super cruise system. I suspect this problem is caused by logic in the super cruise system which does not allow the vehicle to accelerate while the steering wheel is flashing red (such as during disengagement). Generally, removing the flashing red condition from the steering wheel requires applying torque to the steering wheel. However, this is not practical when driving straight and needing to disengage the system. The supercruise system needs to be able to safely and properly disengage at the press of a button without needing to step on the accelerator. I believe that disengaging supercruise without pressure on the accelerator pedal should lead to the car defaulting to going into maximum one pedal braking yet still being able to accelerate on command if needed. The current state of the system requires torque on the steering wheel in order to be able to accelerate out of such a situation.

- Date Complaint: 2024-05-24
- Crash: 1
- VIN: 1G1FY6S08P4
- Components: VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,SERVICE BRAKES
- Summary: 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 the accelerator, the car automatically brakes. I have a lot of experience in single-pedal mode, and I am very familiar and comfortable with how it works. On the morning in question, I was coming around a corner in an underground parking garage, and pulling into a parking space immediately around the corner. To do this, I was making a hair pin turn, moving at very slow speed. I was pulling in alongside a car that was already parked there. When the front of my car was in the space and I was completing my turn, I lifted my foot from the accelerator, and the car suddenly lurched forward at high speed. Before I could recover, the car crashed into a high concrete curb that marked the end of the parking space. The front bumper of my car was damaged and items flew off the seats of my car onto the floor. I was shaken up, but the air bags did not deploy. I was able to back out, complete parking, and proceed with my day. If this had happened in other circumstances, it could have led to loss of life. If I was on a street, and pedestrians were walking, for example. If the concrete curb had not been there to stop me, I don't know what would have happened. If another car had been where the curb was, it would have been damaged. This has only happened once. We haven't tried to reproduce it. I have continued to drive the car, and it has been fine. There were no indications (warning lights, etc) that this was going to happen. No warning lights have gone on since it happened. The car has not yet been inspected, but I plan on bringing it to the dealership to have it checked out. I did not file a police or insurance report.

- Date Of Incident: 2024-05-21
- Date Complaint: 2024-05-21
- VIN: 1G1FY6S01P4
- Components: EXTERIOR LIGHTING,SERVICE BRAKES
- Summary: 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 advised the car's rear brake lights are dangerously located down below in the bumper section. The mid-section of the back (hatch area) lights are "running lights" only. During daylight, the mid-section rear lights are not illuminated at any time per design (neither turn signal nor brake lights); yet, this creates a confusing (at minimum) situation for fellow drivers who are following the car. Although placement of the brake lights down below in the bumper section meets safety guidelines, the typical driver (myself included) is trained to watch for brake lights and turn signals in tail-light mid-section on the back of the vehicle. In addition to this, owners of bigger / taller trucks and SUVs who may be following a bit too closely may not see the bumper brake lights at all. Today, the theory was tested in real life, as I was nearly "rear-ended" by another vehicle in moderate city traffic while stopped at a stop light. The driver coming up behind me slammed on his brakes and screeched to a stop while I moved forward slightly to avoid the crash. Naturally, the other driver thought my brake lights were non-functioning as he passed me yelling through his rolled down window I needed to "fix (my) fu*king brakes lights". THIS HAPPENED AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR A MERE 200 MILES AFTER I PURCHASED LAST WEEK. If I extrapolate, this means my life will potentially be in danger from a rear end collision *50 TIMES* over the next year assuming I conservatively drive 10,000 miles. This is incredibly unacceptable and is shameful. GM needs to recall these vehicles immediately and install appropriate brake and turn signal lights. How many injuries and deaths will it take I wonder. Please act now. Thank you.

- VIN: 1G1FZ6S05N4
- Components: TIRES
- Summary: I installed four new Goodyear ElectricDrive 2 tires (P 215/50 R17) on my 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV on 05/08/2024 at Discount Tire in Round Rock, TX (Store #TXA 23). The tires were balanced as part of the installation. After six days of normal commuting, on 05/14/2024, the vehicle began experiencing significant vibrations at highway speeds 60 - 70+ mph. As a point of reference, the passenger side headrest was visibly moving back and forth due to the vibration. I took the tire back to Discount Tire and, after removing the tire from the wheel, they discovered that the SoundComfort noise reduction foam inside of the tire had come dislodged and was bunched up inside of the tire. The foam did not appear attached to the inside of the tire in any way. After the foam was removed and the tire remounted, the vibration was no longer present. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The noise reduction foam inside of the tire came loose inside the tire and caused the tire to become out of balance. The tire is currently mounted on the car but with the noise reduction foam removed. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Significant vibrations while operating the vehicle could distract the driver or under certain circumstances cause impair the driver's control of the vehicle especially at higher speeds. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes, Discount Tire diagnosed the issue by attempting to balance all four wheels, discovering one was out of balance, and then proceeded to remove the tire from the vehicle. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No warnings lamps or messages. A significant vibration at highway speeds was the only symptom and began being observed on 5/14/2024 (6 days after installation).

- VIN: 1G1FZ6S03P4
- Components: SERVICE BRAKES
- Summary: I noticed on the steering column and "one pedal" (bumper to bumper speed) brakes, both do not activate the brake lights -- a concern for vehicles from behind to be warned of my pending slowing down speed. The potential of being hit from behind is far greater without any indication of slowing down without brake lights activated using the steering column and "one pedal" breaking.

- VIN: 1G1FY6S09P4
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- Summary: 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. Danger is in the unsuspecting driver's reaction in poor driving conditions. Call to On Star was initiated but it uses the same audio system the infotainment system uses. So On Star failed. Pulled over; restarted car several times, infotainment system was silent. 2 hours of driving in silence; parked for 2 hours; restarted car and everything was back to normal. Took it to dealer. Unable to recreate this problem. Updated software downloaded to infotainment system. No information if this fixes problems. Until we understand why infotainment problems may cause dashboard to go dark, this car is unsafe for unsuspecting drivers. My wife was driving; I in passenger seat, she won't be driving this car again until this is understood better and fixed. Thank you for your help

Chevrolet Bolt euv 2023
- Date Of Incident: 2023-10-31
- Date Complaint: 2024-03-02
- VIN: 1G1FZ6S00P4
- Components: SERVICE BRAKES
- Summary: 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.

I've only owned this car for three weeks, so perhaps it's a bit early for a review. However, I must say that the Bolt has exceeded my expectations so far. With careful driving and in Florida weather, this EV repeatedly gets about 4 to 5 mi/kWh, which allows for a range of 300+ miles. It has plenty of power when needed, and my version (a redline) has more features than I expected. I would give it 5 stars, which it deserves, if fast charging was more than 50kw. In my opinion, this car is a great deal for travels up to 400 miles distance with a 30 min lunch break.

The Bolt EUV is an excellent choice for commuters, especially if you have the convenience of charging at home. However, if you have to rely on DC fast charging, it may not be the best option as it can be a bit slow and negate the cost benefits of owning an electric vehicle. On the bright side, GM paid for my 240 volt Level 2 charger installation, and with the federal tax rebate in 2023, I was able to get a new car for about $20K, which has operating costs half that of a comparable gas-powered car. Even the base trim has impressive features like wireless Car Play and wireless phone charging, and the interior quality is top-notch, surpassing even my previous Chevy Sonic and Cruze. The car is incredibly quiet on the highway, with minimal wind and road noise. While some have complained about the tires, I have had no issues with them in Texas weather. Just remember to rotate the tires every 5 or 6K miles. Overall, this is the best new car I've owned, and I've owned quite a few Chevys in the past (01 Malibu, 08 Aveo, 14 Sonic, 18 Cruze).

A friend of mine left a review stating that the car is pretty small, even for her small frame. When I took it for a test drive, it seemed fine for me as the driver. However, after driving it for a while, I realized that it is smaller than I initially thought. I often bump elbows with the front passenger, and the sloping rear roof makes the rear window pretty small. Nonetheless, it is still a serviceable car. I needed a car quickly when I bought it, so I didn't have much time to consider other options. If I had more time, I probably would have looked at other cars more seriously.

We were informed that this car could charge up until 415, but after using it, we found out that this was not true as we can never charge past 320. We were told that it's due to the weather, even when charging inside. Could someone please help us with this issue? We were really counting on being able to charge up to 415 and it's important to us.
Reagan Sporer 2024-08-14

Overall, the car is not too bad. The interior is nice enough and the exterior, in my opinion, doesn't look bad either. While the handling isn't great, it does have good acceleration. However, I have to give it a 2-star rating due to the advertised range. Chevy claims it gets 247 miles per charge, but in my experience, I barely get 220 miles from a charge even when driving on flat freeways at 65mph with the AC and heater off and using cruise control. Despite this issue, I am generally happy with the car. I hope Chevy can address the range issue or adjust their advertising. Thank you for considering my feedback.

Although the Chevrolet Bolt has some drawbacks, it may not be the best option for everyone. The charging time can be quite long, especially when the battery is near 10%. The charging speed is also slower than some other EVs on the market. Additionally, the highway mileage differential is not mentioned, and it is recommended to drive at or below 65 mph to maximize the range. However, if you are looking for an EV that can travel up to 247 miles, the Chevrolet Bolt may be a good option for you. If you are considering purchasing an EV, it is important to do your research and find the one that best fits your needs.

The car takes around 10-12 hours to charge on a level 2 charger. Although the range was disappointing on the highway, I found the car fun to drive in the summer. It was still able to go about 200 miles before needing another 10+ hours of charging. While the range estimator can be unreliable, I learned this the hard way after losing power after 50 miles when the estimate had been 80 at the start of the trip. Ironically, the car ran out of juice at a gas station and had to be towed to a charger, which took another 10 hours to recharge. Unfortunately, winter driving is a complete disaster as the car is only able to make it 60 miles on a full charge in city driving. I don't trust it to go out of town and risk freezing to death. However, I do appreciate the safety features like collision warnings and blind spot cameras, although I imagine those are available on most other new cars.
