2023 Chevrolet Bolt EUV Vehicle speed control Problems

“I was driving on a highway at approximately 68 MPH. There were no cars in front of me and none beside. The adaptive cruise control system was engaged. The car applied the brakes without warning, as if I was a going to collide with another vehicle. I depressed the brake to turn off the system and hit the gas pedal.”

“The adaptive cruise control as well as regular cruise control limits the electronic braking to 10 kW. After that the friction brakes take over. There is little indication of it, and I think it's a safety risk because in hilly areas, as well as mountainous roads, the friction brakes activate risking overheating the brakes and a brake failure. I believe the earlier model years would not limit the electronic braking and would maintain the speed down hills using regenerative braking exclusively.”

“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? …”

“Adaptive cruise failed just over 2k miles following another vehicle under 60mph and sped up to set cruise of 75 and would have hit the truck if I didn’t stop it, I took video of failure directly after the incident. First bolt EUV camera failed more than once even after it was replaced, that car was bought back under battery recall. My point is, it’s a continued issue. With lane keep assist you must always be prepared for it not to function, it doesn’t always work and have to cycle the on/off button (same with previous EUV too). …”

“While merging onto a highway with a 60 mph speed limit, we got an error message that there was a propulsion system error and our speed was limited to 30 mph. Our car slowed down and could not accelerate. There was no warning before the speed was limited and no way to change course. It was Saturday night Nov. 25th and we had our one and half year old daughter in the backseat. Thank god my husband was able to react quickly and that there was shoulder for us to pull over on. Honestly we could have been killed or seriously injured. …”
