I received the dreaded OnStar email saying:
An issue with the lithium-ion battery in your 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV has been detected. Please service your vehicle within 1 day.
Just as in the following report:

The vehicle check light is also illuminated on the dashboard.
The problem has been diagnosed as a failure of a 300-volt “plus and minus cable assembly". I have no other knowledge than this, and of course no access to my car.
So this cable is not a standard replacement part - it only shows up on the assembly line.
In spite of the fact that the problem was diagnosed the second day, now 19 days later I have no ETA on a replacement part. Apparently there must be a class of problems that Chevrolet is not prepared to service on the Bolt. I have been told my case has been elevated to "level 4" something, but really the only time I get any information is if I call the dealership.
Withholding my usual colorful language, I would say this experience is pretty bad.
