This is about expectations. A car with a normal battery could be left with the hazards on for hours and you'd still be able to start it. It turns out that not only is the Bolt's lead acid battery tiny but the car is un-jumpable once it's run down. Everyone I've spoken with finds it...

I use the Thule "Raceway Pro 2" rack. It fits the Bolt well and is nice and secure. Beware, however, that it (like other racks I assume) will drop your highway mileage substantially. If you can throw the bike inside, it's much more energy efficient.
Thanks for the replies. I realized that it might be the pedestrian warning when I saw a thread about it. I think I'll leave it engaged now that I know it isn't a defect. Who needs the liability worry?
My new Bolt emits a low metallic noise, like two metal plates rubbing against each other, when I engage Drive or Reverse. Is this normal or should it be absolutely quiet when stopped and in Drive or Reverse? Thanks!
