1 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 10/07/2022

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.

2 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 09/01/2019

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.
