I have been reading posts on here about what the software fix "reportedly" accomplished, but I was never handed anything in writing that explained it in detail to me. For example, the claim more diagnostic functionality was added was mentioned in the news articles and notices I received from GM...

Finally took my bolt in for "final" recall service. Got a call from the tech a few hours later saying the recall service went perfectly smooth but the Bolt bricked itself shortly after they completed the update. The details they gave me were fuzzy, but they mentioned a call to a higher-up Bolt...

Several months ago I had the recall that set the battery limit to 90% to avoid possible fire issues. 2017 Bolt. The week before last, I had the 2nd recall where they examined the battery via diagnostics and determined that the batteries were ok. There was also some kind of software updated for...

So I got my recall today and thought everything went well… except when I plugged in my car to a local level 2 charger and the car was still on the fan started going crazy. Like so crazy I watched the charge rate go from +6kW to -1kW while still plugged in!! Only after I turned the car off did...

And thus ends the saga of our little adventure starring two 2017 Chevy Bolts. Bolt #1- This car was a lease. Three years of totally trouble free driving. Replaced tires replaced and the wiper blades. Returned at the end of the lease. Still getting notices from On Star about this VIN. I don’t...

I took my 2017 Chevy Bolt to my nearest dealership last week to apply the final fix for Recall #N202311731-01 (Safety Recall - High Voltage Battery May Melt or Burn). After nearly 6 hours of waiting, they reported that they had inspected the battery pack for the recall and concluded that a...

... or is it just in my head? We had the final recall update performed a few weeks ago. Since, I know how to limit charging to 90% on my own, we never bothered with the interim fix. After the final recall-update/fix, we think we are having substanitially less regenerative braking when in "L"...

Just got the update applied to my 2017, today Hilltop reserve mode is back. Though I’m currently charging to full in my garage Total time at the dealer took about 5 hours The dealer also applied the software patch for the radio, that prevents it from automatically turning on every time (thank...

The recent Chevy Bolt fire on May 1, 2021 occurred just days after the “final fix” for the fire issue was announced. We sat down with the owner to discuss what happened, tell the inside story, and try to find some answers… Join me with an exclusive that walks you through the morning of that...

Is there any more news about the solution on this? The last I heard from GM was “April” which is just about over. Are they going to extend the date yet again (I wonder)?

Any smoke signals over the horizon? I can't see anything from here.

After following along with multiple threads on buybacks, I thought it could be beneficial to get some condensed data on who's performed the recall and who's pursuing and having, or not, success with the buyback path. The poll offered here has its configuration limits. Unfortunately we can't...

Has anyone had theirs full battery pack replaced? My dealer is telling me that they will be replacing mine. I clarified if they were replacing a module or the full pack, and he responded with "full pack" If that is true, has anyone in this forum had theirs replaced on 2017 Bolt? If so, how...

Just called the concierge line and requested details about the buyback program. The rep actually mentioned the option and offered to take down my information without being prompted, which was a nice surprise. I plan to post pseudo-real time updates here to track the process and my thoughts along...

I experienced something unusual and like to know if anyone else is experiencing the same thing. Background: I had always used the Hilltop Reserve (HTR) when charging my 2017 Bolt and got 190 miles out of each charge every time. I had also always got 4.1 miles driving out of each kWh. What's...

I've been in conversation with GM regarding the recent battery recall and they have offered to replace or repurchase my leased 2019 Chevy Bolt with 12,xxx miles. I haven't received details yet of what exactly they are planning to offer, but I'm wondering if anyone else is also considering this...

Hello All, I need your helps guys and gals. My family and I purchased a 2017 Bolt from a Chevy dealership on 12-16 and did not know about the active recall. They did not disclose that and did not even perform the temp software update. Upon further investigation there is still an active sale...

Hi all, this is my first post here (I hope this is the right section to ask). I'm in the market for a new vehicle and very seriously considering a 2017 Chevy Bolt. There are several 2017 Bolts available near me with 20-30k miles within my $15k budget. I've been researching a lot on this site and...

Tonight while checking the myChevrolet app I noticed Vehicle Status said immediate attention. Went in there and there were no diagnostic issues. I then saw a warning on the Schedule and Manage Service tab. Under there is a new alert on a recall for the front left side caliper. Apparently some of...
