Common Chevrolet Bolt Problems

If your Chevrolet Bolt has recurring problems that seemingly cannot be fixed, your vehicle may be considered a “lemon.”

A green Chevrolet Bolt is barely illuminated by an overhead light in a nearly black room.

Under the California Lemon Law, a lemon is a vehicle with recurring problems that, despite authorized repair facilities being given a reasonable number of repair attempts, cannot be remedied. These problems must negatively impact the use, safety or value of your vehicle.

Many owners and lessees of Chevrolet Bolt vehicles report problems that do just that. Learn more about common problems that 2017–Present Chevrolet Bolt, owners and lessees report in their vehicles. If one of these problems repeatedly appear in your Chevrolet Bolt, you may need to talk to a lemon law attorney about your case.

Electrical Problems

How Propulsion Is Affected
The Chevrolet Bolt is an electric vehicle that relies on a battery for propulsion. While battery issues are problematic for any vehicle, they are especially problematic in all-electric vehicles. In particular, Chevrolet Bolts with battery problems may experience a decrease in battery range, meaning that the batteries may not have as many miles on a single charge.

“Propulsion Power is Reduced” is an error message that some Chevrolet Bolt owners and lessees might see on their dashboards.
Risk of Vehicle Fires
Chevrolet recalled over 68,000 Chevy Bolts due to the risk of battery fires, and the automaker now faces multiple class action lawsuits over its approach to the risk of battery fires.

The Chevy Bolts allegedly are at risk of battery fires if their batteries are fully charged or close to fully charged.
