2020 CHEVROLET BOLT EV Complaints

I plug in my phone and the infotainment system goes black. It also happens when my phone isn’t plugged in I don’t know what’s going on but it happens when I’m driving

None of my local dealers will service recalls on this vehicle. They either tell me that they only perform work on vehicles purchased at that dealership or they continually reschedule my appointment.

An inspection of this vehicle has found the steering to be binding. The car is only 3 years old and there is no logical reason to justify the need to replace the steering gear. If others are reporting this issue, which I'm guessing they are, I think a recall is warranted. The steering binding is a safety issue, and if it further or fully binds up it could cause an accident. I understand that it could also reduce my ability to sense road traction conditions and make fine adjustments.

The contact owns a 2020 Chevrolet Bolt EV. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V650000 (Electrical System), and the vehicle was taken to the dealer for the recall repair; however, after the repair, the vehicle made abnormal loud while charging. Additionally, the battery started overheating, causing the front end of the vehicle to become significantly hot. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated he had received a message through the Chevrolet app advising that the battery had failed. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, where the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was taken to a second dealer, Goss Chevrolet (622 US-11, Champlain, NY 12919), where the same assessment was made. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the dealer. The contact stated that the recall remedy did not fix the issue. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 48,000.

On Oct 1, 2023 I drove about 5 miles from home to Menards. It was a sunny day. I went to leave and turned on my car and both display screens were blank. Like they were unplugged. The important screen is located behind the steering wheel and tells you your speed, engine problems (if any) and turn signals. The other tv screen just has heat/ac info, radio info, etc. I turned my car on and off 6-7 times in Menards parking lot. I left different amounts of time in between tries... up to 5 minutes. Nothing worked. So I drove home with blank screens. I stopped at a Taco Bell and tried again. Still didn't work. It was like both monitor screens were unplugged. This has happened a few times in the past. About 6 months after I bought the car. The screens went out during a car wash. Champion Chevrolet in Avon Indiana told my it was probably humidity and don't go to car wash. It happened a year ago on a rainy day. In the past, I only had to turn the car off and on once and the screens would work. This time I tried 6-7 times n two different parking lots. I drove home. Plugged it in to charge and it worked perfectly the next day. Weird and scary.

The steering system seems to be binding up. The wheel will not return to center after taking a corner. I have to apply force to steer the car back to straight ahead.

i took my chevy bolt to dealer to get this recall fix: Manufacturer Recall NumberN212345941 NHTSA Recall Number21V650 and after my car being a month at dealer, they haven't fixed it yet.

Chevrolet declared a recall on the battery in 2020/2021 and reset the caR BATTERY so that it will no longer take a full charge. The original charge was 240 miles. Now the full charge varies from about 190 to 220 miles.It has been almost 3 years, no new battery. With restricted mileage and summer air conditioning needs, the car has reduced value. It seems about time to get the new battery.

I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO RESOLVE BOTH RECALLS FOR THIS VEHICLE, AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS DIRECTLY WITH THE CHEVROLET DEALER FROM WHICH THE VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT NEW, AND THE CHEVROLET EV CONCIERGE. THERE ARE NO INCIDENTS TO REPORT, OTHER THAN THE INABILITY TO RESOLVE BOTH RECALLS IN A TIMELY MANNER

The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified of the issue and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.
