Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I was driving in my neighborhood a few miles from home on a state road going about 45/50 mph. The car suddenly slowed to 30 mph without warning, an alert said there was a problem with the propulsion system and speed was limited to 30mph. There was no prior warning or indication of a problem. The sudden deceleration almost caused the car behind me to hit me.”

“Frightening SAFETY Problem: Sudden Power loss on Los Angeles freeway. About 6/21/2023 began repeated episodes where my Chevy 2023 Bolt EUV hesitated for a few seconds before responding when I pushed on the accelerator pedal. Full power and acceleration resumed right after the initial hesitation and were sustained until I had to stop the car. A dashboard warning light appeared. …”

“I just bought this vehicle this Sunday. I drove about 400 miles and Wednesday, I got warning ⚠️ electric drive unit ⚠️. Yesterday I took my car to dealership and got call from them that auxiliary transmission issue and they will replace it. Car is still at the dealership, now we are afraid to drive that car and what if it jeopardizes our safety. We drive a lot for work as a home health provider.”

“While slowing down to park, just before stopping, my husband took his foot off the pedal and the car accelerated. This happened twice in the past week. He had the “break assist” feature engaged, which automatically breaks the car when you remove your foot from the accelerator. The car should have slowed then stopped but it accelerated. He did not touch the accelerator. I have not yet contacted the dealer, but see numerous complaints like this in chat forums online. No warning lights came on either.”

“What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The Transmission Fluid Pump failed, and is needing to be replaced. The car only had 200 miles on it and was bought 5 days prior before the issue began. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The car immediatley reduced my speed to 30mph. I was driving on an expressway, and caused me to slow traffic. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? …”
