1 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 05/11/2021

The center touchscreen will intermittently freeze when started and not recover when driving. When this occurs the hvac and radio hard buttons also stop responding which prevents control of the defrost, creating a visibility hazard that could result in a crash. Sometimes the freeze will result in the backup camera remaining on while driving forward. When in reverse the freeze results in the backup camera guidelines, parking collision warning and rear cross traffic warning being unavailable. Failure of these systems intended to prevent collisions is a safety hazard because unavailability of these systems could result in a collision. The freezing did not occur frequently when the vehicle was new, but over time this has become a frequent occurrence. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The problem has been reproduced by a dealer and been subject to repair twice, but the issue has continued to occur after each repair attempt. The vehicle was subject to bulletin 20-na-119 which was intended to correct radio screen black/freezes after boot up, but this does not appear to have resolved the issue.

2 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 01/12/2021

General motors refuses to service my vehicle and claims I'm black listed from every dealership in the area. They refuse to complete the safety recall for battery fires on my vehicle, the windshield wipers are slapping each other and rear suspension is making metal on metal clanking noises. Gm has had me black listed from all dealerships in the area and refuses to complete necessary safety repairs on my vehicle. I have absolutely no way of getting these necessary services completed on my vehicle. Gm customer experience center won't assist in finding a dealership in the area. Please help.

3 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 07/13/2019

Car came with light gray dashboard which unbeknownst to me and undeclared by dealer has been reported to NHTSA since 2017 as a safety hazard due to reflection and glare that this color dashboard creates. At times sideview mirror and driver's windshield is dangerously challenging to see clearly out of as dashboard reflection intersects with outside environment. Hard to tell what is what. This is particularly dangerous during unfilled driving (I live in los angeles which is mostly unfilled). Given the complaints to NHTSA in 2017, I contacted Chevrolet corporate to complain and exchange brand new car for black dashboard. They claim there is no defect!!!! it is a design defect that is dangerous. . . . Since 2017. . . For no reason. Make black dashboards!!!!!!!! light colored dash is dangerous!!!! please do something!.

4 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 06/21/2019

I experienced extreme windshield glare while driving my new chevy bolt at midday on a very sunny day. The glare was manageable at first, as I approached an intersection to make a left turn. As I entered the intersection, the windshield seemed to turn white. I lost my view of oncoming traffic and was hit by an SUV. This was the first really sunny day after I took possession of the bolt. Prior to that day, the weather had been partly/mostly cloudy. I have driven through this intersection many times before under various weather conditions in my old Acura tsx without incident. I have never experienced this amount of glare on a windshield at this time of day before.
