I slightly overinflate my tires on all of my cars (compare to recommended my OEM) except the Sparky, this one gets the max allowed on the sidewall. Usually after pumping it to the max at the Discount Tire or any other place, it drops to 41lbs measured in the morning. I am still to see any of my...

I kind of know what you are talking about, it's a mess out there, but a. ask to speak with the supervisor the next time you call b. you should have your "Bosch representative" name and ID# buy now? Communicate through the email from now on, this will give you a "papertrail" of what has...

To answer you question, It's a bunch of BS. They can and should be able to mix the brand between front and rear unless they are directional tires and in this case they are not. Tell them you will sign a waver if the liability is their concern, see what they say then :lol:

Don't know if they still have any 2014 inventory left, but money-wise it seems to be a better deal especially leasing, for whatever reason the logic of it escapes me :? Possibly that dealers just been tighta$$ed about "new model" and are holding up for bigger profits, could be that the lease...

Unfortunately your experience pretty typical one for a new vehicle under a warranty. The tech is not getting paid for investigating the problem on the "warranty" claim vehicle, he is barely getting paid anything for hooking up the scanner and pulling /resetting the codes, beyond that he doesn't...

85 ft of cable, buried, across the walkway sounds very expensive endeavor. Before embarking on it, a. see if the 110V charging is absolutely out of the question (i am still charging one of mine with 110) b. investigate if you have or ever had a 240V dyer outlet in your garage c. I believe any...

Cal them tomorrow morning and tell them, you want them to disconnect the battery right now and see what happens or you will take it to another dealer. That should get them going. Towing it from dealer to dealer at their expense should get a rep's attention, oh who am I kidding :)

Not much hope for dealer, you know "you are not just a number" - yes you are, especially if they need four days "to get to it" :( Have you tried disconnecting the 12V battery yourself or suggesting it to the almighty?

You need to have the vehicle "ON" for the options to be "active" i.e. not grayed out.

Not quite the same thing the e-coating and the FNC. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-drive/culture/commuting/gm-develops-rust-free-rotors-to-keep-car-wheels-shiny/article11408699/

Mine is set for Rate-Departure to stat at midnight and for projected departure at 7am. It starts immediately as soon as the window opens and pretty much regardless it's 240V or 110V. I don't know if the "charging logic" is the same as I have, but I would actually prefer it to start asap and...

Mine says it right below the estimated "Full charge" time. I don't have the app version #, but downloaded mine about mid June. Is it possible that you have your charging option set to Immediate? I think the reason most of us are getting the error message is because we, most likely have the...

Same for me :( Regardless it's 110V or 240V, same error message. I guess Sparky has to grow up a bit to become the Volt :)

Thanks for sharing this, never knew about any of this about the Volt. I guess all of the possible improvements are getting lost in between-departmental communication, or they just don't care of any improvements on a compliance vehicle :roll: I found that by pushing on the stalk with the car...

Believe it or not, I was only at 4.9 mi/kWh lifetime as it said on the "small screen" before resetting the trip odometer.... Granted that leg was somewhat of a "test trip" just to see what I can get, so it does not reflect my normal driving. Here is the mpge for the trip:
