What Owners Say
"After I switch from reverse to drive, the back-up camera is still putting a picture on the screen. It is quite distracting to have essentially a video of the area behind me going on as I am driving. It seems to happen when it is raining more than at any other time. It goes away before I can get it to the dealership so I have not been able to have the problem resolved."
Anonymous, GA (2019 Chevrolet Bolt Unsure Electric)"Sometimes guidelines for backup camera do not appear."
Anonymous, MA (2019 Chevrolet Bolt LT Electric)"Problem cleared when a software reload was completed."
Anonymous, AL (2019 Chevrolet Bolt LT Electric)"It is an intermittent problem. When it happens, the backup camera screen stays on after shifting to drive and there is no way to control HVAC or the radio. The dealer has been unable to replicate the problem (two tries) and it has not been fixed. It happens perhaps once a month."
Anonymous, CT (2019 Chevrolet Bolt Premier Electric)"Either the display screen is loading for a very long time after I start driving (so that I cannot access A/C or heat dials) or the back-up camera does not disengage after I change gears, so that I have a motion picture on the screen of the things I am passing. Very distracting."
Anonymous, GA (2019 Chevrolet Bolt Electric)"It was an intermittent problem that cleared when the CHEVROLET dealer reloaded software."
Anonymous, AL (2019 Chevrolet Bolt LT Electric)"The screen has gone blank several times. It seems to be caused by a SW bug related to Apple CarPlay. Each time it happened after leaving my iPhone plugged into USB port of the car. The screen went blank, but for some reason the CarPlay menu was still accessible. After some online research I was able to reboot the screen by pressing the Home and FF keys for 10 seconds."
Peter L., CA (2019 Chevrolet Bolt Premier Electric)"I had an aftermarket CD player installed, that fed the music thru the AUX input. Then last month, the control panel would not let me switch from radio to AUX. The AUX button was greyed out, and unresponsive. I phoned and spoke with the dealer, but he told me I'd have to bring the car in. However, I don't plan on doing that until after this pandemic is over."
Anonymous, CA (2019 Chevrolet Bolt Premier Electric)"the USB port to connect the iPhone to the car never worked. It had to be replaced."
Anonymous, MA (2019 Chevrolet Bolt LT Electric)"Had issues with display freezing and back up camera view remaining on screen while driving several times around a year after purchase. System was replaced under warranty by dealer around 2 months later when the part was available."
Anonymous, (2019 Chevrolet Bolt Premier Electric)"For the past several months the car bluetooth keeps intermittently connecting with my phone and then reconnecting again. It seems like maybe the signal is not strong enough so there are times when my phone is unpaired and I can't use the car features to make or receive hands free phone calls."
Anonymous, AZ (2019 Chevrolet Bolt Premier Electric)"Sometimes my phone will not connect, and so I have to have one hand with my phone to my ear. I would probably not have taken the call if I knew I had to do that."
Anonymous, GA (2019 Chevrolet Bolt Unsure Electric)"Radio turns on every time I start the car & has to be turned off if I don't want to listen to it. (I'd rather turn it on if I want it, or at least just only have it on if I left it on when I turned the car off)."
Anonymous, (2019 Chevrolet Bolt LT Electric)"There were glitches in the software that had to be rebooted."
