Backup camera on while driving at freeway speeds:while driving on the highway, the infotainment system started having trouble.first my carplay disconnected and i couldn't reconnect.when trying to fix it, i hit the 'home' button.then the backup camera displayed on the display covering all other functions (battery info, temperature, etc).i was driving at freeway speeds with the backup camera stuck on.when i was able to stop, putting it in park, briefly turning off the car with the door open did not correct the problem.only when the car sat (infotainment fully powered off?) did the problem correct.i have not seen the issue on a few drives since then.i have a video of the problem but it's too big (16mb) to upload on this website.
As i started to leave the driveway in a forward driving position, my brand new chevy bolt with only 2430 miles on it put itself into park. It made a terrible metal grinding noise and jolted us forward. My foot was still on the accelerator because i thought it was going to drive but it stopped then i looked around trying to figure out why. The ā€œeā€¯ break was not on and i realized that the car was in park. Nothing was around the drive stick. Nothing touched it and i believe it put itā€™s self into park when i was driving. This was very scary to us and i did not know what to do so i called the chevy dealer where i bought the car and they said to bring it into get checked. On my way the accelerator pedal started to wiggle and shake slightly.
I recently purchased a 2021 chevrolet bolt ev (vin [xxx]) with current mileage about 1800 on odometer. Two days ago my wife was driving on the 91 freeway going at normal highway speed when all of a sudden the car just decelerated abruptly to 20 mph with an error ā€œpropulsion power is reducedā€¯. Two ford f-150 trucks immediately behind her had to veer quickly around her (but this couldā€™ve easily caused other accidents as well). She had to cross three lanes of traffic to get on to the shoulder while only able to drive at 20 mph. There was still 131 miles of battery charge left so it wasnā€™t because of low battery. Overall it was an extremely dangerous situation whenever a car decelerates abruptly without any warning especially while driving on freeway. I donā€™t know how she escaped unscathed and was not rear-ended, but she is traumatized by the entire incident.i want to report this so that you are aware of the situation since this poses a serious public safety concern that could have fatal ramifications. Yours truly[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I purchased the vehicle new from diamond chevrolet on april 17 the 2021 chevy bolt had 3 miles on the odo i drove the bolt 3 more miles and the vehicle lost power and reduced speed on the freeway almost causing an accident. The display flashed a warning of reduced power and the bolt would not accelerate requiring the vehicle to be towed. After ten days at dealership problem was a bad transmission oil cooler pump. I think a defective pump lasting only 6 miles is a safety concern
The blind spot warning system fails to work adequately. It triggers both false negative and false positives on both sides of the vehicle. It is available for inspection upon request. Even when there are no cars within a quarter mile of me, the lights may come on, alerting me to a non-existent car in my blind spot. If the light turns on properly, it doesn't always turn off when the car leaves my blind spot, just staying on indefinitely. It fails to detect approximately 50% of cars accurately when they enter or leave my blind spot. This defect puts others at risk, increasing the possibility of a side collision when the blind spot warning system fails to adequately inform the driver of an accurate blind spot status. The vehicle was taken to a dealership with an appointment, they refused to inspect or diagnose the problem, stating that myself, the driver, should read the manual and tinker with the vehicle settings. I informed them that i had already read the manual, it stated it may take some time to calibrate and it didn't mention any user accessible settings menu, but i had over 100 miles on the new vehicle at this point and was unable to locate any user settings. The dealership still refused to inspect the vehicle. The vehicle has only been inspected by myself. Besides the false negatives and false positives of the blind spot warning system, no other error messages have occurred. This issue propped up the day i was driving the new vehicle home from the dealership after purchasing. I have attempted to personally improve the performance of the blind spot warning system using documentation found online regarding previous models of my vehicle having similar issues, i have had moderate success with using metal tape akin to duct tape on the rear of the radar sensor that powers the blind spot warning system.
The contact owns a 2021 chevrolet bolt ev. The contact stated while parking the vehicle and placing it into park, the vehicle lunged forward which resulted in the contact hitting the vehicle in front of them. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an unknown dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 2,700.
Driver had pulled up and stopped at red light with vehicle in d mode (normal drive). Driver had placed hand on gear shift lever and went to shift into l mode (one pedal driving) by using normally accepted procedure of pulling gear shift lever one click back to engage l mode or switch back to d mode. Hand or finger was apparently resting too far on top of gear shift lever push button and without knowing, vehicle shifted into r (reverse) instead of l mode (one pedal driving). When driver pushed accelerator pedal, vehicle lurched backward. Driver immediately applied braking to stop car and narrowly avoid collision with vehicle behind driver.driver was able to duplicate this issue a second time.

My bolt 2021 had break locking issue within 20 days had to get it to dealer n after 12 days they return the car without fixing this particular issue but fixed some 25 other faults..and after two days again same issue happened and now after more than 2 weeks they asked me to take car back but not giving assurance that same issue reproduced n fixed.. Fortunately both times issue happened in parking lot but i am afraid about it that while on freeway if that happens so dont want to take chance i requested dealer for replacement vehicle which is thoroughly inspected but they asked to deal that with gm directly and i opened case with gm but there is little to no communication from them

I am reporting an issue that may affect every chevy bolt ev owner and possess a serious safety issue for children. I discovered this issue while being an owner of two 2021 chevy bolts.i discovered that if a key is locked in the vehicles back storage area while the vehicle is running no door will open.if children are in car seats and the child lock is enabled the children will be trapped until a window is broken.this could be fatal if the vehicle was set in motion some how, which is not hard.below i am giving a step by step on how to replicate this issue for the safety of other owners and the general public. 1. Engage children locks on door 2. Start vehicle 3. Lock doors with remote 4. Open trunk 5. Place keys in trunk/hatch closest to the plastic locking wall 6. Close trunk 7. Attempt to open trunk/hatch
