general problems of the 2019 Chevrolet Bolt Ev

When driving my car from the airport at bradley International in CT (parked for a week), I experienced a terrible vibration in the steering wheel which has been intermittent. 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.

Parking brake engages sporadically and automatically and sometime produce loud grinding noise in front of the car. Passenger rear middle seatbelt is not retracting automatically and is not self adjusting. Reverse camera has changed from a full screen view to a smaller screen with wide bars left and bottom of the image that now is hard to see. I believe this changed due to a software update with no warning. Dealer requests me to pay for this issues to be inspected. I believe this are safety concerns and chevy should recall them.

Braking failures. After driving the vehicle for a few miles with normal operation of the regenerative braking system, the car was in motion (about 45 mph) when the car's regenerative braking system was requested by completely removing the foot from the accelerator in "l" mode (the "one foot driving" mode that automatically brakes as less pressure is applied to the accelerator). The car continued to move forward at full speed toward a red traffic light at a normally busy intersection. At that point I validated that the car was in "l" mode and decided to use the regenerative brake paddle connected to the steering wheel. That also failed to engage, and the car continued at full speed toward to the red light. At that point I engaged the brake pedal briskly and barely came to a stop before entering the intersection. Nearly the exact same problem happened a second time on the drive back about 5 minutes into the drive, and after the car had been resting about 30 minutes. The car gave no notifications or warnings of anything abnormal. Many drivers of the chevy bolt rely on the regenerative braking system nearly exclusively for all braking scenarios. Because of this, any failure can result in an extreme hazard to the driver and nearby pedestrians or vehicles. When contacting gm, they said that under some conditions the regenerative braking system will not engage. They will not investigate or fix the issue.
