Most Recent Complaints

#11719466 | POWER TRAIN | | 28,000 miles
The contact owns a 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EUV. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the message "Service Transmission - Unauthorized Shift" was displayed. While attempting to shift into drive(D), the gear shifter failed to move to the intended selection. The contact stated that a tow truck arrived and while loading the vehicle onto the flatbed, the driver attempted to shift into neutral (N), but the transmission failed to respond. The vehicle was towed to a dealer; however, the failure could not be replicated. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 28,000.
#11718978 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | | N/A miles
The radio amplifier is mounted in the rear trunk wheel well attached to the bottom, along with the subwoofer assembly. Under the amplifier is a small drain. My trunk leaked during the rain and shorted out the amplifier. This shut off all communication noise in car. No noise from blinkers or warnings of dangerous situations. According to AI, "The 2023 Chevy Bolt EV shares the same basic body structure and rear hatch design as earlier models (2017–2020), and there is no confirmed evidence that the trunk seal was redesigned or improved to prevent water intrusion. Despite a known issue with water leaks into the trunk—often due to voids in seam sealer or compromised tailgate gaskets—General Motors issued a service bulletin (18-NA-182) that applied only to 2017–2020 models. However, owners of 2022 and 2023 models have reported identical leaks, with water pooling in the rear cargo area and damaging components like the amplifier located in the spare tire well." Remember, when the amplifier goes out, every warning signal goes out, as well as radio and hand free operation of cell phones.
