Consumer Description
The steering on my 2017 Chevy bolt does not return to center after making a turn (left or right). If you do a search, this is a common issue with Chevy Bolts and Chevy wants lots of money to fix it. I did pay Chevy to do do a software update (Service Bulletin #17-NA-148) which should have made the situation better but it made it (if anything) worse. I believe there is an issue with the steering gear and Chevy should issue a recall.
