What Owners Say
"I couldn't connect the phone to the system"
Anonymous, CA (2018 Chevrolet Bolt Premier Electric)"system often freezes and won't connect to the device. Also the info displayed on the dash will be different than what's displayed on the console. Very temperamental."
Zach A., CA (2018 Chevrolet Bolt Premier Electric)"Apple car play requires hard wire (not blue tooth compatible). Would much prefer GPS as part of car electronics."
Anonymous, MA (2018 Chevrolet Bolt Premier Electric)"WHENIT FREEZES I AM NOT ABLE TO TURN OFF THE AIRCONDICIONING IF I HAVE IT OPERATION THE DAY BEFORE, I AM NOT ABLE TO TURN ON OR OFF THE RADIO, TO DISPLAY ANY OF THE OTHER FUNCTIONS THAT YOU CAN MANAGE IN THE TOUCH SCREEN"
Anonymous, CA (2018 Chevrolet Bolt LT Electric)"I had several issues that were all related to the infotainment system. Sometimes when I would start my car, the screen would be frozen on my backup camera, which doesn't allow me to control the radio volume, the climate controls, etc. since they are all controlled from that touch screen. One time this prevented me from turning off the heat when I wanted A/C. One time the radio volume was WAY too loud and I couldn't change it. I had to take my car in to the dealership several times, but they finally fixed it by completely replacing the infotainment system in the car. Since then, I have had no issues."
Anonymous, (2018 Chevrolet Bolt LT Electric)"No really freezes, when put into gear, sometimes the screen shows the front camera even when driving. i have to reset the system then all is good. its an infrequent chronic issue."
Anonymous, CA (2018 Chevrolet Bolt Premier Electric)"CHEVROLET dealer had only 1 technician qualified to fix this. Took several days to get it fixed."
Anonymous, FL (2018 Chevrolet Bolt Premier Electric)"Sometimes when starting the car the display screen does not come on or comes on only with a logo. The radio will not operate when this happens. After 3 or 4 minutes or so, the system comes on. It is almost as if it has rebooted itself. I have not yet taken this to the dealer to fix."
Anonymous, MD (2018 Chevrolet Bolt Premier Electric)"The message says it is loading software while display screen is blank. Takes up to 10 minutes to start the screen with commands"
