NHTSA Complaint #11338172 — 2017 CHEVROLET BOLT EV

WHILE DRIVING THE SPEED LIMIT OF 45 MILES PER HOUR, THE CAR JOLTED AND LIGHTS IN THE CAR WENT ON. TRANSMISSION LIGHT, BRAKE LIGHT, STABILITY TRACK LIGHT, SERVICE PARK ASSIST LIGHT, SERVICE STEERING LIGHT, ETC. THIS CAUSED ME A CHALLENGE IN DRIVING THE CAR ON A TWO LANE ROAD BECAUSE THE STEERING BECAME MORE DIFFICULT AND THERE WAS NOT A BIG ENOUGH SHOULDER TO PULL ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. BRING CAR INTO DEALER AND FIND THAT THE FRONT WHEEL BEARING AND HUB NEED TO BE REPLACED, THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED WAS WHEN THE BRAND NEW CAR WAS ABOUT A YEAR OLD (WE DID HAVE 18311 MILES ON THE VEHICLE). ABOUT A YEAR LATER (15 MONTHS LATER), THE SAME INCIDENT OCCURRED AND THE SAME PARTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. HOWEVER, WE WERE OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY DUE TO MILEAGE AND THEY NO LONGER WANTED TO REPLACE THE BROKEN PARTS UNDER WARRANTY. THE SAME PARTS SHOULD NOT GO OUT YEAR AFTER YEAR ON A BRAND NEW CAR! WE ASKED IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON PARTS AND WERE TOLD NO. THE PART NUMBERS ON BOTH INVOICES - SL-N-WASHER (04710-C); SL-N- NUT (06056-BC); SL-N-WASHER (06056-C); SL-*-N- BEARING (060311-C)
