Happens in both sharp and sweeping turns in both the left and right direction while accelerating, decelerating, and maintaining speed.  Issue occurs several times a week.  I nearly hit an oncoming car head-on in a very gentle sweeping left hand turn on May 10th when my Bolt continued turning left rather than re-center when I stopped giving it left steering input.  I was going about 35 and decelerating gently for a stop sign at a T intersection at the bottom of a mild downhill slope of 5 to 10 degrees. The car I nearly hit was approaching in the opposite lane on the inside of the curve.  When the left hand curve straightened out, my steering wheel (and wheels) did not return to center.  My car continued across the yellow double lines.  I had to quickly jerk the wheel to the right to avoid a collision.  *I had to physically return the wheel to center through manual input to get my car to drive in a straight line.*   I narrowly avoided a head-on collision.  There was no advance warning.  Having the steering randomly behave unexpectedly and in direct opposition of the vehicle's design, and *every* other vehicle's design is very dangerous.    This is a known issue across many, many Bolts.  Replacing the steering rack/column for this known safety issue on all generations of the Chevrolet Bolt is an expensive repair.  Please investigate and issue a safety recall and force GM to correct this known safety defect that they should have already voluntarily recalled.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2018","productMake":"CHEVROLET","productModel":"BOLT EV","manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC"}]}]}
