2020 Chevrolet BOLT EV - STEERING Failure Complaint (#b0b0f2)

2020 Chevrolet BOLT EV

  • Date of Incident: Mar-23, 2024
  • Date complaint filed: Mar-26, 2024
  • Failed components: STEERING

The steering wheel does not return to center. When turning and then releasing the steering wheel to come out of the turn, the wheel stays where it is, causing the car to continue to turn. You must manually steer the wheel back to center position. This always happens when steering. It is not a one-time or intermittent. This is not safe as it makes the car go off the road. There is no warning light or alert from the car itself that something is wrong. I purchased the car used from a used car dealership and it is doing this when i bought it. They confirmed it. To my knowledge, no one else has inspected the vehicle's steering. Looking online, there seems to be many other chevrolet bolt owners complaining/experiencing the same steering problem.
