Brake makes squeaking and noise - 3rd day new car

[kumthi]

Dear Chevy & Forum members,

Whoever created this forum, god bless and great job. I was greatly impressed with reviews and award that Chevy Bolt got and finally decided to buy and go gainst Tesla.

I got it on March 31st 2017 and today is my 3 day into active driving. I am hearing squeaking noise. Particularly when parking or stop/start from traffic light. I also hear noise when steer my steering wheel. This greatly bothers me.

Is this common? Is this part of Chevy Bolt going through initial new car adjustment and lubrication. I finally put my faith in American Manufactured car and hopefully this will resolve. Please provide your feedback.

Once again great forum. I will continue to post my progress.

Regards
Kumar

Not normal. Take it in to the dealer for service.

I have the similar issue in my car that I bought it 2 months ago.
Whenever turning steering wheel over certain degree, the squeaking noise comes from the steering wheel area.
I am searching some similar cases before I take my car to dealership.

Thank you for response on this. Really appreciate it.

Apparently I got a car that was suppose to be return to plant. Luckily my wife found the inspection note in the Glove Box that had a note "Rear Right Door Split" in "Return Plant Form". So I called the Dealer Koons Chevy at Tysons and Spoke to SGM John Gribbins. He was kind enough to look at the issue and agreed to exchange the car. I just a new Car today and I am all set.

Any guesses on how many Bolt owners checked their glove boxes after your post? You may not be the only one driving a car that wasn't supposed to be on the road.
