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...

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...

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...

Hi there, For over a year I've been charging the 2017 Bolt in the garage using a level 2 240v charger. After a full charge, the mileage shows (approximately) max = 285 miles, average = 250 miles. The last two full charges using the same charger and settings, the max was only 245 and the...

Hi there! When I switch off the WiFi switch in Settings/WiFi, I am still able to link to the Bolt's WiFi via my Android phone. I expect that this connection would be severed once I switch WiFi off. Anyone know anything about this? Thanks in advance! Jerry

Has anybody noticed that the rear-view mirror/camera is very warm to the touch on the 2017 Bolt? I drove from Los Angeles to San Francisco yesterday and the day before and noticed that it is quite warm. It is working fine, just a bit high to the touch. Best, Jerry

Hi there! Happy holidays to all... I am wondering if I should use the 8 or 12 amp setting when charging. Does one charge quicker? Does one charge the battery more fully than the other? Thanks! Jerry

Hi there! I've been using the MyChevrolet app for 4 months since getting the Bolt, using it mainly for checking tire pressure and battery charge level. Suddenly, as of today, it won't let me check either one without setting up "key pass", which I really don't need or want. But I tried setting...

Hi Bolt Owners, Does anybody know if the brake lights go on when the car is driven in LOW and the driver takes his (her) foot off the accelerator? Do the brake lights come on, as the car slows down considerably? Thanks, Jerry

I am finding Bluetooth very unreliable with an Android 7.0 phone and the Bolt. One minute I have a connection for music and phone usage, a few minutes later the connection disappears and I cannot get it back without un-pairing and starting over again. I am reading about problems with...

After successfully pairing my smartphone to the Bolt via Bluetooth, everything works as it should. But today, suddenly my phone contacts don't show up on the Bolt's screen. Audio and phone calls work via the car and Bluetooth, but the contacts are not there. I've tried exporting the...

Today I was driving in San Francisco where the outside temperature was 93 degrees Fahrenheit. In the Bolt, the temperature readout on the infotainment screen (upper right hand corner of screen) read 74 degrees! How could it be so far off? The car is very clean, nothing that I know of...

I am getting a slight rattle that seems to be coming from directly behind the infotainment screen. It only happens on roads that have bumps, potholes, etc. Has anybody experienced this? Is it easy to repair? Thanks! Jerry

Hi Bolt Owners, I've had my Bolt for about 6 weeks and love driving it. A few days ago I scratched up the bottom of the front bumper (the front rubber piece that goes across the front of the car). You can't really see the marks from the front unless you bend over to rub your hand over it...
