Automatic Emergency Braking Problems of Chevrolet Bolt Ev

Issue: total failure of frontview camera adas sensor, disabling automatic emergency braking (aeb), front pedestrian braking, and lane keep assist. Technical evidence: gds2 telemetry confirms a "no communication" status for the camera hardware. Core safety modules including the electronic brake control (ebcm) and the inflatable restraint (airbag) sensing module report active communication failures (dtc u026a/u216a). These safety-critical modules are currently unable to receive the sensor data required for crash avoidance and occupant protection. Forensic timeline: vehicle nvram reveals a manual "clear codes" event occurred at 46,838. 3 miles—exactly 0. 4 miles after the sale contract was signed. The fault reappeared with a 0 km offset (immediate return) and has been active for 162 ignition cycles, proving the defect existed throughout the dealership's possession. Dealer response: the selling dealer delivered the vehicle with an unsigned 125-point inspection. Despite being presented with gds2 telemetry proof of the braking and airbag communication blackout, management refused repair, mischaracterizing the disabled emergency braking system as a "luxury feature" and claiming the vehicle is "safe" to drive. Symptoms: "service front camera" warning, intermittent loss of hvac controls, and gear display (prndl) blackout due to systemic serial data bus interference caused by the hardware failure.

About 1 month ago I picked up my daughter from school. Just as we exited the parking lot, there was nothing in front and the brakes came on and the car turned off and would not restart for a few minutes. The same day, we were on the way home I was traveling about 35mph. All of a sudden the brakes came on again. This time there was nothing in front but many cars behind, so I floored the accelerator the car tires screeched. I was less than a mile from home and made it without incident. The dealership is unable to reproduce or review the logs because the vehicle stopped logging everything since December 4th. The car is in my driveway and I don't trust it can safely be driven. The dealership is not helpful by telling me to just monitor the situation and bring it in if it happens again. I am seeing on the internet that there are many people experiencing this exact problem.

I was driving on a highway access road when my chevy bolt's automatic emergency braking system suddenly and unexpectedly applied the brakes. I have noticed that the proximity warning system is fairly sensitive - often beeping even when I am applying brakes to decelerate at a rate that feels comfortable and reasonable to me given the distance of the vehicle in front of me. In this instance, however, there was no beeping of the warning system. Additionally, I was not closing the distance between my vehicle and the one in front of me, nor were they braking. I was concerned that the unexpected and unnecessary emergency braking could have caused me to be rear-ended had a vehicle been behind me. It was very heavy braking - disproportionate to the distance and speed between myself and the vehicle in front of me.

When driving down the road with no other vehicles around the blind spot warning light on the passenger side mirror will illuminate and turn off and on several times with no vehicles around. Which inadvertently triggers the forward collision system and locks up the brakes on the car. Once the forward collision system is activated there's no no way to reinitiate acceleration until it turns off. This has happened several times on the highway causing me to have to force my car off under the shoulder to prevent from getting rear ended. With one time happening causing a semi to veer off the road. This is a very unsafe condition, and it has become more prevalent ever since they change the battery in the car.

I hit a deer on a back road coming home from work, on impact I heard a loud explosion and smelt burning electronics and the smell of an air bag, the seat belt locked. Then after the initial impact the car then stopped and the emergency alarm went of and many messages were on the screen. Fast forward after everything, I call onstar to make ask a question they answered with I see your air bags deployed are you okay, I responded yes because "they didn't come out" the air bag switch did explosion but the air bag did not deploy.

The 2020 Chevrolet Bolt Ev premier has excellent cruise control, holding speed to within 1 mph of set speed through automatic acceleration going uphill and automatic regenerative braking going down hill. The car has collision detection and can report time to impact to the tenth of a second. What it can't do is apply regenerative braking when a detected crash may be imminent. It just flashes a warning light and sounds an alarm beep, but doesn't try to prevent a crash, allowing a driver with slowed reflexes to plow into the vehicle ahead.

Android auto skip and pause on steering wheel stopped working unless infotainment reset daily or re-enter car. Was an abnormal ticking noise coming from the vehicle. The noise sounded as if it were coming from the area of the console/ gear shift.
