The vibration went away at lower speeds. I brought the car in to the shop on 5/18/2026 with 74,000 miles on the car. They told me I had to replace rotors, brakes, calipers, brake fluid, and do a front end alignment because the rotors have failed internally.   The EV doe not use braking as frequently and this was taken from the Chevy forum:   ISSUE: Frozen or Seized Calipers The Issue: Because Bolt drivers heavily rely on regenerative braking, the physical brake pads and calipers are used far less frequently than in gas-powered cars. This can cause rust and debris to build up, leading to frozen calipers, uneven pad wear, or a sticking/grabbing brakes.  The Fix: Have a trusted mechanic or a dealer regularly inspect and service the friction brakes. Regular preventive maintenance like flushing the brake fluid every few years is highly recommended to prevent moisture accumulation and seized calipers.  The resultant failure is a safety issue and Chevy has decided to call it a PM problem. This is not acceptable and is all over the forums as an issue for these cars. I saved all parts and had them record everything on the car, except for the fluid.  There are other recalls for this component. I would like it investigated and determination made on the issue. The invoices will be in my possession tonight.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2019","productMake":"CHEVROLET","productModel":"BOLT EV","manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":11737320,"manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"05/11/2026","dateComplaintFiled":"05/12/2026","vin":"1G1FZ6S00K4","components":"STEERING","summary":"The steering wheel takes more effort to turn than it should and does not return to center after making a turn.

This is not an isolated incident; numerous identical reports exist from other Bolt EV owners on public forums like Reddit ([XXX]) and [XXX], often occurring at similarly low mileage (typically 30,000-60,000 miles). The symptoms began with distinct clicking and knocking sounds when turning the steering wheel. This has progressed rapidly to increased steering effort (stiffness) and a failure of the steering wheel to return to center smoothly after a turn. This constitutes a severe and unacceptable degradation of a primary vehicle control system. When I had the vehicle inspected I was informed that the degradation would progress and risk my ability to safely steer the vehicle, and that the car should no longer be operated without performing a repair. A repair diagnosis indicated failure of the steering gear/rack assembly, with an initial repair quote of over $7000. This exorbitant cost is nearly prohibitive and approaches the residual value of the vehicle itself. It is deeply concerning and frankly unacceptable that a fundamental safety system like the steering is failing prematurely on these vehicles. Furthermore, the extremely high repair cost creates a dangerous secondary safety risk: owners may be forced to choose between a financially crippling repair or dangerously deferring maintenance, continuing to operate vehicles with compromised steering and risking catastrophic failure on the road. Steering integrity is paramount and should not be failing at such low mileage under any normal operating conditions. This pattern of premature steering failure reported by numerous owners indicates a potential design flaw, manufacturing defect, or component quality issue with the Chevrolet Bolt EV steering system that warrants immediate investigation.

The vehicle was barely able to make it to the shoulder before losing all momentum.  There is a high-risk of a fatal collision when a vehicle unexpectedly stops or drastically slows on a freeway with 65 - 70 mph traffic, which is compounded during peak travel times.  This is a risk to not only the vehicle occupants, but other drivers and vehicles as well.  Several error messages were displayed on the dashboard as the car was decelerating:  Drivetrain malfunction:  Stop and turn off engine; Service high voltage battery system; Service Vehicle Soon; Unable to shift.  The battery range dropped from just under 50% (~115 mi) to 0 while attempting to pull over on the shoulder.  After the vehicle was stopped, it was unable to be powered off for about an hour.  It was not successful in shifting or moving and the battery range showed 0.  An hour and a half (1.5 hours) after the incident, the vehicle would power on and show a battery range between 121 - 110, which would drop to 0 within 15 seconds with a message that it is unable to charge.  At the time of the incident, OnStar sent an email stating that \"A critical issue with the engine and transmission system in your 2019 Chevy Bolt has been detected.  Please service your vehicle immediately.\"  The battery had been replaced the week of February 5th, 2023 per several product safety recall notices .  There was one issue on February 18th, 2023 that the battery range was not updating, but it corrected itself after being parked for 3 hours.

The propulsion will stay capped at 20KW for a bit of time (15-20 minutes) and then gradually the cap will increase.  Unfortunately, on I-25 in southern Colorado where this usually occurs, the speed limit is 75mph and and 20KW of propulsion results in the vehicle traveling on the interstate at roughly 45-55mph which results in very unsafe situations. That road has a minimum speed of 55mph.  This happened on the first day that I purchased the car, I can reproduce it with my family in the car, but the dealer has been unable to reproduce it.  I have had the Chevrolet dealership inspect it multiple times, but they can not find a fault. It has happened when ambient temperatures are as low as 28F and as high as 98F there does not appear to be a correlation there.  I have had it happen when the battery has a SOC of 70% and as low as 25%, that also does not show a correlation. I have seen a correlation with passengers/weight in the vehicle as that requires more KW of output to propel the car.  Likewise, consistent average speed has a correlation.

When she told me about the light, I checked GM's mobile app and the Diagnostic Information stated, \"Immediate Attention, Lithium-Ion Battery: Issue found with On-Board Charging System. Please schedule a service appointment.\"       This was odd since I knew that the vehicle had a full battery replacement due to the safety recalls for this particular vehicle. The replacement occurred at Reeder Chevrolet in Knoxville, TN in November of 2021. I also noticed a considerable range drop while driving the vehicle prior to this warning.       I notified Reeder Chevrolet and they were unable to service the vehicle in a timely manner so I reached out to Beaty Chevrolet in Knoxville, TN. The next day we decided to drop off the vehicle, knowing it could take a while. As we were heading to the dealership, my wife stated she nearly wrecked her car because the steering became very difficult to turn, and could not turn in traffic properly. She said she had to force the steering wheel with all her strength just to get it to turn.     When we got to the dealership, I reported the incident to them and they said they would look into it. I got a callback today, 4/15/2022, that the battery is fine and that Reeder Chevrolet did not perform the battery replacement correctly. They did not perform the proper vacuum replacement of the coolant and the computer sent a code. They stated they performed the proper coolant fix and that my range should go back to normal.      As for the steering, the steering has been confirmed by their technicians at Beaty Chevrolet that there is in fact a major problem with the steering assembly. A new replacement is needed and should take 12 hours to complete with the cost of $2100.00. I believe this is not the only incident due to other Bolt owners stating they have the same issues (chevybolt.org). This needs to be recalled for the safety of the driver and others.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2019","productMake":"CHEVROLET","productModel":"BOLT EV","manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":11459125,"manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"03/29/2022","dateComplaintFiled":"03/31/2022","vin":"1G1FY6S02K4","components":"ELECTRICAL SYSTEM","summary":"The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Bolt EV.

We contacted GM back in July and started our buyback claim, since then sadly GM's reps have stopped responding since late July.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2019","productMake":"CHEVROLET","productModel":"BOLT EV","manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":11429979,"manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"08/21/2021","dateComplaintFiled":"08/21/2021","vin":"1G1FY6S0XK4","components":"ELECTRICAL SYSTEM","summary":"GM keeps sending me letters saying that they still dont have the parts to fix my vehicle  The only solution that they provided till now is to park and charge my car in the driveway in the event that the car catches fire it won\u2019t burn the house !!!","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2019","productMake":"CHEVROLET","productModel":"BOLT EV","manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":11429912,"manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"08/20/2021","dateComplaintFiled":"08/20/2021","vin":"1G1FY6S01K4","components":"ELECTRICAL SYSTEM","summary":"I received another recall letter regarding the battery issue today stating the fix has no date in sight.

With charging to only 90% and not letting the battery drop below 30%, we are left with far less safely usable range than what we paid for when we bought this expensive vehicle.  Too many times this week we have watched the range drop with a level of fear that is just not OK.   GM already tried to use software to detect defects, and they admit that it failed.  They won\u2019t say how things will be different this time. They also won\u2019t say how the replaced cells will work effectively with the older cells.

Looking at all the different batteries that LG has had to recall, how can I trust NHTSA when they restate that the problem is a rare manufacturing defect that was identified by Chevrolet and LG?

In 2020 a safety recall was issued on the Bolt EV around batteries catching fire in unattended new, low mileage vehicles. A temporary fix was assigned to restrict the battery's state of charge to 90%.  After several months, a \"final\" software fix was issued to address the problem (N202311731).  Since this fix, two additional fires have occurred in low mileage / non-abused or damaged vehicles. Today Chevrolet issued an additional recall (N212343880) stating that battery cell swaps would be required and owners should not maintain a state of charge outside of 30%-90% (reducing the range from 235 miles to 140 miles or less).   As an owner with some moderate knowledge of lithium polymer batteries, I do not have confidence that Chevrolet will be able to successfully detect manufacturing defects at scale and replace all impacted cells.  As this is the third critical safety recall on a single component, which is fully warranted and under a low mileage, NHTSA needs to critically review if Chevrolet dealerships have the capabilities and training to properly diagnose and replace individual LiPo cells within a battery pack.  As an owner, the only \"real\" solution which would give confidence of a safe vehicle would be a full battery pack replacement, or a full buy back of the vehicle in question, regardless of local state lemon laws. So far, vehicle buybacks seem strongly tied to local state lemon laws.

(Not my car, it's in another state) I am concerned that the battery problem is in the design and how it is built, not due to a faulty manufacturing contaminiation that could only occur in Korea. And I'm also concerned that the \"final fix\" is not sufficient to take care of the problem. I am asking you to investigate all the LG batteries in all the Bolts to determine if they truly are safe.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2019","productMake":"CHEVROLET","productModel":"BOLT EV","manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":11418688,"manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"05/26/2021","dateComplaintFiled":"05/26/2021","vin":"1G1FY6S02K4","components":"FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM","summary":"I was denied the buyback by GM due to the weak lemon law in the state of Michigan.

The long-awaited final remedy is a setup for failure. Installing a software monitoring system to look for the theoretical cause of the problem is inadequate and fails to protect consumer safety. They allege, without providing consumers with the undisclosed engineering analysis that underpins their solution, that this is the best they can offer. Their plan is to monitor for electrical aberrations in the cars\u2019  electrical/battery system instead of replacing the faulty system.   By analogy this is like a home builder acknowledging that they installed faulty wiring in your home that does not meet code and there have been a number of fires. However, instead of replacing the faulty wiring, they are installing a monitoring system that looks for changes in resistance or areas of high temperature in your walls and shuts down your power before they think your house will explode into flames. GM has not provided any testing in the real world of this \"remedy\", and asks that we trust their engineers.  I would like to see an independent assessment of this, not paid for by Chevrolet or GM. I have no confidence in this or with GM's assertions that it is the best they can do to protect the safety of the public.   As a health and safety professional, I am appalled at this solution at its acceptance. I cannot believe that this would be approved as a remedy for an aircraft problem. The more recent and less publicized Boeing MAX airliners\u2019 electrical problems require replacement of the bonding between electrical panels and their contacts. NHTSA should demand full disclosure of all studies done for GM\u2019s BOLT recommendation, and publication on the NHTSA site for a period of public comment. I adamantly reject that this has been conducted by GM in a transparent manner or that it is the safest response.
