Warning Problems of Chevrolet Bolt Ev

Without any warning or physical impact, the central infotainment screen completely blanked out and suffered an irreversible hardware failure. This screen acts as the mandatory display terminal for the vehicle's rear-visibility backup camera, as well as the audio generation module for the vehicle's driver alerts. Because of this component failure, the vehicle is in direct non-compliance with federal motor vehicle safety standards (fmvss): 1. Fmvss 111 (rear visibility): the vehicle completely fails to display a rear-view image when shifted into reverse, creating an immediate blind-spot hazard for pedestrians. 2. Fmvss 101 (controls and displays): all critical audible safety alerts, pedestrian alerts, and driver warning chimes have been entirely silenced. The manufacturer (general motors) and the authorized franchise dealership (f. H. Dailey Chevrolet) have acknowledged the failure and have the part on backorder, but refuse to fully cover the safety restoration under warranty or provide a temporary loaner vehicle. This forces the primary driver, a [xxx] senior citizen, to choose between total isolation or operating a hazardous, federally non-compliant vehicle. This appears to be a systemic manufacturing or design defect inherently tied to the internal hmi module architecture on the late-model Chevrolet Bolt Ev platform, rather than individual wear and tear. A formal investigation is requested to mandate a safety recall and enforce full manufacturer accountability. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Lane keeping assist (lka) and lane departure warning (ldw) are important safety features, particularly for older drivers. These features, touted in Chevrolet's online and print advertising, are poorly, and potentially fatally, implemented in the 2020 Chevrolet Bolt Ev premier. The 2020 Bolt Ev owner's manual describes these features beginning on page 213. When turned on, lka is undetectable and no steering correction can be felt in the steering wheel. While ldw may illuminate a small amber warning signal on the graphically complicated driver's display, the manual states, �additionally, there may be three beeps, or the driver seat may pulse three times, on the right or left, depending on the lane departure direction. � on page 215. A safe driver does not watch the complicated display to detect a small symbol turning amber from green. The lack of auditory or vibration warning rendered this safety feature useless. These conditions were observed in clear daylight on multi lane highways as well as in less hospitable conditions. As implemented in the 2020 Chevrolet Bolt Ev premier, lka and ldw do not exist, though being used as a selling feature.
