Thanks for the information!

Just read that Chevy is recalling 7000 more Bolt EVs due to the possibility of the battery catching fire. I bought a 2017 Bolt in 2017 and after the first recall went on for about a year I decided to get rid of the car and I bought a new 2021 Bolt in June of this year. Now it's recalled as...

Hi, Is it normal to hear a kind of soft hum/clicking sound from the front of the car when it is turned on? I never noticed it on the 2017 Bolt EV but I do on the 2021 model. Thanks, Jerry

Hi there, I have a 2021 Bolt EV and yesterday I had my foot lightly on the brake and was moving about 1 mph. I put the gear into park when the car wasn't completely still and heard a grinding noise. I was in reverse going into a parking space. Did I do any damage? I don't see any warning...

Hi there, When I customize the launcher in Android Auto, there's a greyed-out icon of the MyChevrolet App. The app itself is correctly installed and works fine with my phone. But the greyed-out app icon in Android Audio doesn't work, when I click on it it takes me to the Bolt Home Screen. I...

Wow, talk about screwing up a useful piece of software! The new version is slow, very slow. First it updates twice before even allowing me to enter my pin. Then it takes about 40 seconds to update to the car's current condition, but only updating the mileage and charge remaining. Then, if I...

Thanks again. I held the 2 buttons down for 10 seconds and that reset the screen, now everything is working as it should. Jerry

Thanks for replying! I charged the car fully and that seems to have fixed it. I did try pressing the next button and the home button at the same time (after I turned the car on) but that didn't seem to do anything. I am assuming the "next" button (it doesn't say "next" but instead has a...

Great, thanks. I will definitely try that when its done charging..

I turned on the 2017 Bolt this afternoon and suddenly numerous electronic functions became either inoperable or extremely sluggish. the home screen button would take 5 or 10 seconds to revert back to the home screen. The cameras icon was blanked out, even when stopped and the phone function...

When I bought a Honda Civic Hybrid in 2005, the manufacturer said the car would get up to 50 mpg on the freeway and 45 on city streets. This was a gross inflation of the actual performance, which was about 30 mpg in the city and about 40, max, on the highway. People sued Honda, there was a...

When I turned on the Bolt (2017) this morning, all the buttons on the right side of the steering wheel would not work, I could not check tire pressure. Also, the Lane Keep Assist button on the left side of the steering wheel would not work either. I think it may have had something to do with...

You are right. I tried gluing it back on but got a little glue on the bumper paint, now I have to fix that. Urgh!!!! I took it to the dealer and it took him less than 1 minute to fix it and secure the plastic ring around the sensor. I should have taken it to the dealer first!

Hi! The rear bumper of the Bolt has 3 proximity sensors, each sensor is surrounded by a plastic seal. One of the seals has come loose, I still have it and am wondering what kind of glue I can use to secure it. It pops into the edge of the round sensor, but needs some kind of adhesive to be...

Yes, colder weather, lots of rain, much more use of the heat and defroster. I expect those factors to affect range, but didn't think that on a fresh, full charge, the battery would "remember" those conditions and adjust range. Thanks for informing me... Jerry
