Automatic emergency braking · 27,000 miles · Oct 2024 · crash · 1 injury

I was taking a left turn from [redacted] onto [redacted] in the outer (right) lane. As I was exiting the turn, the AEB went off suddenly without warning -- the car came to a sudden and complete stop. There were no cars or obstacles in the road ahead of us in either lane and so it is unclear what would cause the braking event. Due to the sudden stop, a man driving a moped was not able to stop in time--he was able to swerve to avoid a head on collision, but he collided with our rear passenger bumper. While, fortunately, there were no injuries, both vehicles sustained minor damage. This is the second incident of "phantom braking" I have experienced with this car. …

The contact owns a 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EUV. The contact stated that while in reverse(R), the infotainment screen displayed a red, triangular warning symbol, rendering the back-up camera inoperable. The contact also stated that an alert feature warning the driver of incoming objects also failed to operate as needed. In addition, the contact stated that the infotainment system intermittently failed to return to normal operation while shifted out of reverse(R). The vehicle had been taken to the dealer on numerous occasions where the wiring harness, back-up camera, head unit, infotainment screen, and other parts related to the defect had been replaced; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer had been notified on numerous occasions about the failure but offered no solutions. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 1,506.

I was driving on the highway with GM Super Cruise engaged. I was within the speed limit on a straight road with my hands near the wheel. Without warning, the steering turned sharply to the left on its own and locked - I was unable to correct it or override the system. The vehicle left the road, spun, and was totaled. I walked away with minor injuries. There were no warning lamps or messages prior to the failure. The vehicle has been inspected by police (report exists) and insurance representatives. The vehicle is currently at a dealership and is available for inspection. The problem has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer. I believe the Super Cruise system malfunctioned and caused the steering to lock in a direction I could not override.

The electric power steering / steering gear assembly exhibits mechanical binding ("sticky steering") and completely fails to return to center. When going around a curve in the road, the steering wheel "memorizes" or holds the turned angle and will not unwind or self-center like it used to and as I would expect it to. I'm having to apply continuous, deliberate manual counter-steering to bring the vehicle back to straight. The steering also has a distinct "notchy" or sticking sensation when making small steering adjustments that make clear audible clicking or knocking sounds at lower speeds. The issue began intermittently from my recollection around early 2026 and has grown progressively worse. …
