My 2017 chevy bolt lost propulsion while in motion on city streets in los angeles in traffic without warning from either on star or the vehicle. the battery indicated approximately an 60% charge. the vehicle is now at el camino chevrolet in monterey park, ca., waiting on service.
I experienced a failure of the 12-volt battery. when this happens, the vehicle loses power, stalls, and then it looses all functions - cannot be even shifted into neutral to move it, cannot open rear doors. we couldn't even get in on a tow truck.
Driving at 65 mph with 100+ mile range, car had a sudden and complete lack of propulsion. electronics in the car continued to work, but absolutely no propulsion. could shift car to neutral. car eventually towed to dealer.
