NHTSA Complaint #11553887 — 2017 CHEVROLET BOLT EV

During turns the steering rack will sometimes fail to return to center like normal and the power steering assist will fail to provide assistance mid turn. When this occurs the first symptom is the steering will pull into the direction of the turn at the beginning of the turn. This feels like an oversteer condition, but it happens at any speed and is a result of the steering moving into the turn on its own. After the turn is complete the steering wheel will not return to the center position on its own at all. This requires the driver to correct the steering wheel's position. Since this occurs seemingly unpredictably it feels like a safety risk since it requires me to be alert and ready to make quick manual corrections at any point while driving. I am reluctant to allow others to drive the vehicle since they are not away of this unexpected steering behavior. This is most easy to perceive during sweeping turns where there is plenty of time to notice the fault, however it occurs during tight turns as well. This is particularly scary during left turns at intersections when there is oncoming traffic. This issue has been occurring for approximately the last 10k miles at least and seems to increase in frequency but still not easy to predict or anticipate.
