Chevrolet Bolt Change Vehicle

"Display did not match the audio being played from my iPhone. Other smaller annoyances."

"Poorly designed product, Hard to use the GPS feature without losing other functions on the display. Apple maps are far inferior to Google, which we would prefer to use. Even with a passenger doing the actual interactions with the screen, it is difficult to make it work effectively. Much inferior to installed GPS systems we have used before."

"Periodically (once a month on average) the camera fails to turn on when the engine starts -- for periods up to 19 minutes. During that time none of the display's functions, including the radio, come on either."

"At times the center display would continue to show the rear camera until the car was stopped and restarted. It took Chevrolet 15 months to finally do the software upgrade to fix this."

"only happened a few times - once every few months"

"Occasionally on startup, the screen freezes and the volume of the startup sound goes to maximum for about 10 seconds."

"The display screen froze up along with many of the controls. The car had to be towed to the dealership. The dealership was not able to fix it when this recurred 3 different times within a 3 month period until GM corporate got involved. The problem has not recurred in the last 5 months. The car spent over 6 weeks at the dealership dealing with this problem."

"Just happened today, and it had happened before. The screen gets stuck displaying the backup camera view even when I am driving forward. I was able to resolve this only after turning the car off and on twice."

"Despite a software update the infotainment system regularly (~3 times month) crashes, rendering ALL functions inoperable: radio, Apple, car information, tire pressure ... The system eventually reboots after 5 to 15 minutes. Its also learned a new trick ... about every fourth time I start the car, it plays the radio for approximately 5 minutes then just stops and goes silent. Other audio (Apple) continues to work, but the radio doesn't function until I restart the car."

"Only happened one time."

"The problem was that the infotainment screen froze up. I took it to the dealer to address, it re-occurred afterwards and is now the subject of an electronic re-call which will be addressed remotely."

"The screen sometimes freezes on the camera - ie you are driving down the road with the front camera feeding directly into the large screen that is your peripheral line of sight. it is very distracting and dangerous"

"Software fix...It needed a software update which promptly fixed the problem."

"Screen would freeze when plugging phone in for navigation. Was recalled to repair."

"Screen freezes periodically. I turn everything off, and leave the car. When I return, all is working. CHEVROLET has promised a down load fix soon."

"Approximately once a week the system will stop responding especially if a smartphone is connected via the USB port, multiple software updates have not completely resolved"

"There is a recall that has not been completed ; A Temporary fix requires you to stop turn off the car and restart 1 or more times."

"Driver display screen (mph, odometer, state of charge, etc.) froze at 0 mph while driving."

"Occasionally car will start but the information window will not light up. Will drive some 10-15minutes and the window will boot up. This happens about twice a month. Occasionally the backup camera will not engage. This has not happened for several months."

"Has happened only twice, comes on after a while"

"Display screen maybe once every 2 months will only turn on after about 15minutes of driving."

"See previous"

"Occassionally, the display screen is blank when starting the car. A software update did not correct this. The only fix is to reboot the infotainment system."

"On an intermittent basis, the display screen would remain blank at power on of car. After about 5 minutes, display would wake up and operate in a normal fashion. Resolution was to replace the full entertainment module."

"It was replaced and I am happy with how it was handled."

"During start up, screen should show radio, climate, etc. But it stays blank, about 3-5min later, large letters, BOLT shows up, stays there for a min or 2, as if a computer is booting up. Then the screen is ok, all is displayed and working, Dealer proformed software update, last month, still not fixed. Scheduled for another update later this month."

"A recent recall was supposed to address this problem. so far (3 weeks) that may be working. Most unnerving was the loss of the backup camera. (The camera in the rear view mirror continued to work, but that is not sufficient for backing up.)"

"When using bluetooth interface music from phone periodically drops in amplitude w/ regularity."

"Randomly and silently switches between car speaker and phone speaker, when Im on a call, so I will suddenly not be able to hear the other person and/or they suddenly can't hear me."

"The car drops the phone randomly, then picks it up again. Sometimes it refuses to connect to any phones - not just mine."

"Bad reception of radio"

"Not actually a problem - there are occasionally over-the-air software updates that take a few minutes - the car cannot be driven or turned on during the update. This hasn't been a real issue."

"2017 early production Bolts were subject to a recall regarding measuring the battery charge. Car was brought to dealer and the firmware in a particular module was updated."

"Had to take car in for recall software update"

"Don't completely fix problem of display screen blanking occasionally at startup thru about first mile driving. This is not small accelerator screen at steering wheel but soft switches on display screen being unavailable means no ability to start cabin heating, etc. Lo software updates only provided at dealers despite connection to Internet in my garage v ok a WiFi. Software fixes don't so far."

"Buttons on steering wheel would not function. After car turned off, they would work. Happened two times."

"Car requires manual b/t connection to use the navigator."

"Main drive battery for the car failed. IT was replaced under warranty by GM."

"Car appeared to be operating normally and was parked overnight. The next day, it was completely inoperative. 12 volt battery was found to be dead. After jump start, car was plugged in and charged for 60 hours. Then it started, but would not go into drive or reverse and had to be towed to dealer. Dealer reported that 12 volt battery was discharged when car received, battery tested good, and could find no explanation for what happened. Currently, two weeks later, car is operating normally but, obviously, is known to become inoperative without warning. Dealer provided no answer when asked what would happen if the 12 volt battery, which it had been demonstrated could die without warning, died while driving at high speed. Two weeks ago, the service manager said he would consult a GM engineer and call me back, but he hasn't. Chevrolet Customer Satisfaction failed to help; the rep said he called the dealer and asked them to call me, but they didn't. He said tha's all he could do."

"Battery had bad cells and when low enough would die completely very quickly. Happened three times before dealer finally understood what was happening and replaced traction battery under warranty."

"Car stopped completely and would not move when remaining miles dropped from 48 to 0 in 30 seconds. Replaced high voltage drive battery. Had at least 4 software upgrades in the past few months."

"the battery failed when the instruments showed approximately 20% power (40 miles) remaining."

"The high voltage battery was recalled and replaced because Chevrolet found some of them to be defective. Some cells were faulty and battery didn't hold the appropriate charge which lead to less mileage than advertised."

"One morning the car would not start, and listed one by one every component as “failed” on the screen. Then the screen tuned off, the parking brake automatically actived, and all lights went out. It was dead to the world. The battery was almost fully charged. The dealership had it towed from my garage. They had no idea what was wrong, it took them two weeks to get the car back to me in working order. They said an EV specialist came into town to fix it, but left no explanation of what was wrong. Eesh"

"Light comes on indicating a problem with antiskid system. instructions say to get inspected. Dealer drove car but light did not come on. No fix as judged as no problem. I have not had any actual problems in driving. I am not a skiddish driver."

"A rattle of the plastic housing against the windshield behind the forward-looking camera in front of the rear-view mirrror"

"It was a loose screw"

"An annoying squeak and rattle comes from the box that mounts around the rearview mirror"
