2014 Clicking noise returned 6 months after axle bolts were tightened

Like many others, I had the infamous clicking noise on my 2014 when I let off the accelerator and started braking. My dealer tightened the axle bolts to specs and the problem went away. They fixed this under warranty.

But now, after only 6 months the clicking noise is back, and unfortunately, the Volt is now out of warranty.

Did anyone else who had their axle bolts tightened also have the clicking problem return after a period of time?

Has anyone had this issue fixed out of warranty? What kind of cost are we talking about?

Thanks

It could also be the brake pad caliper guide pins as it was in my 2013. Mine needed to be cleaned, lubed and reinstalled. Dealer Tech said they corrode due lack of use. Can you make it click by rocking the car back and forth when parked in your garage?

Google "clicking brake pad guide pins". It's a common problem exasperated by lack of use.
