I decided to go for a buyback on my 2021 purchased in June. I really like the car for the price, but with 8’ snowbanks in our driveway in winter, it is a nonstarter to charge outside. With the unknown timeline of a fix, it makes it a nonstarter to hold onto it… So, for those who have pursued...

Can anyone corroborate InsideEV's Aug 31 article on GMs possibly upgrading the range of the replacement battery packs? Chevy Bolt Battery Fix To Increase Range By 8%, More For Older Cars

I'm going to be upfront and admit I love my Bolt despite it's flaws and the recall. When something bad happens, I try to have some fun with it. To that end, yesterday I parked next to a coworker and told him: "Don't worry that I parked next to you, my car only spontaneously combusts after...

Owners of 2017-2019 Chevrolet Bolt EV models have had to contend with a reduced driving range for many months, as GM attempted to find a remedy for a battery related fire issue that culminated with a plan to replace all battery modules. Now GM has confirmed that it's stepping up by offering a...

99% of these may be in perfect (if degraded) working order, but 100.0% of them will be recycled. You can try to x-ray a cell or an entire battery pack to figure out whether the anode tabs are torn or the separator is folded. These defects are so small as to be completely imperceptible; imagine...

Just got off the call with GM. My thought before the latest recall was for a trade in but they confirmed I can't trade it in for another Bolt or Bolt EUV because of the recall. Got a straight buyback offer of $45,xxx CAD which I accepted. The purchase price they calculated was based on...

2020 Bolt LT in CA w/strict lemons laws and wildfire risks. I live in an apartment community with a shared underground garage, so I have no way of parking it outside. If I don't feel comfortable operating it until the recall fix is done, will GM pay for the Bolt's storage fees and my rental car...

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...
