Just got an email from Chevy explaining software updates are on the way. Great that we can download them without having to take the car to a dealer.

My steering wheel controls wouldn’t work recently, including steering wheel heater, radio controls, etc. I pressed home and fast forward to reboot as has been mentioned elsewhere here. Nada. I drove an hour to my destination, let my Bolt set for 10 minutes or so, and all was well. I was...

My info screen has frozen several times. I push various buttons and it stays frozen. I leave the car to do my business and return and all is well. I took my Bolt to the dealer in January (I had the car for a year) and was told there were no updates. The service person showed me the computer...

I bought a single CD player, battery operated, and plugged it in the aux. port, and much to my surprise, it played on my Bolt's speakers without any fussing necessary. I was elated, as nothing is especially easy about the Bolt, other than one pedal driving.

Thanks. I will go buy one now.

Has anyone tried to use a CD player by plugging into the "aux" port in front of the shifter? The manual suggests you can.

When I got my Bolt December 30, 2016, I checked on Soutrhern California Edison's website and there was no rebate for electric cars. Now there is: $450 -- I signed up on line. Every little helps to get the cost down: -$7,500; -$2,500 and now - $450.

It took me four months to discover this. I reported in numerous surveys that the latch failed after one week. I was going to take it apart, but decided against it. Was waiting for the forest 7,500 mile service (tire rotation). Manual silent on the latch only working when console fully back.

I have reported to surveys that my center console malfunctioned after I had the car one week; I couldn't open it via the lever underneath the leading edge of the console. I was waiting until my 7500 mile service to have it fixed. I came to accidentally discover four months later that the lever...

Applied for CA rebate in January and got my check in early May; was advised along the way that my application was received and money allotted; that my application was accepted and that a check would issue in 90 days; that the check was in the mail; and the check arrived. I have no complaints.

I bought a Bolt after totalling my Volt. I liked my Volt and would still be driving it, but for the accident, but am pleased with the Bolt. Part of it is this: for three years of driving my Volt, I lugged an ICE and gasoline around which I used 10% of the time: this seems like a silly waste...

I have noticed that fiddling with the fan speed helps a lot.

Thank you for the references to the manual. I couldn't follow the manual's instructions on how to program the car to charge during off-peak hours. I called Chevrolet and the person I spoke to had difficulty in instructing me, although she finally was able to explain it to me. Regarding the...

Problem solved. I stopped on a slight grade downhill in L. I was creeping very slowly when the parking brake light when on. Then I started driving and it went off. Manual silent on this.

Thanks for the information on the defroster light: I went to the settings and saw it was on "automatic defroster", so I left it alone. I checked the index of the manual under defog and heat and there was nothing. I have griped about the manual elsewhere. I am learning about my Bolt on this...
