There are 2 owner-reported speed control & cruise complaints for the 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUVin NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
On Thursday, August 14th, while pulling into a parking space my car accellerated speed by itself and the engine sounded like it was reving up loud. I had to slam the brakes to get the car to stop. i narrowly missed hitting two other vehicles.
Generally when driving a a slow speed and truing a corner the vehicle will suddenly speed up to about 15 miles per hour. Over the last 2.5 hears this has happened about 30 times. On at lease three (3) occasions a passenger has been with me and can confirm this has happened. Each time it has happened my hands have been on the steering wheel and I have not touched any of the controls. This happens very randomly. I have taken my EVU Bolt to the dealer at leas 10 times. They have not been able to duplicate the situation. I have been in telephone and e-mail contact with the Chevrolet, EV Concierge to seek help. They suggested that I do not use the "One Peddle" feature and when it happens take a picture of the screen at the steering wheel. One time I mentioned the problem to the car salesman with the most EV experience and showed him the photos. He immediately noted that the on the screen that the cruse control was set at 15 MPH. I brought this to the attention of the dealer and the EV Concierge. So I am supposing that the issue may be related to a computer issue and the cruse control. I have had the care for about 2.5 years. I know how to handle the situation. The care is leased. The next person who has the car will be surprised and may not know how to handle the situation. The dealer has has not been able to reproduce the problem. The only dated that I can specifically say this happened are the dates on the photos that I took
