i forgot to close this out. as most people know the dealerships opened again in mid may, so as soon as the dealership opened, i took the car down there and turned it in. just prior to that GM told me that they would not send a truck to pick up the car, i guess because they believed the...

3/26. originating dealer not open at that time, still claims not to be open as of last friday. heard on another forum that GMF was able to strongarm some other dealers in the bay area into accepting returns - i don't know why some are open and why some are closed, unless my dealer is just using...

gets better... they called me yesterday and were like "where's the car???" and i had to go thru it all with them again. in the end the rep was trying to tell me that if i kept holding on to the car i would eventually have to make another monthly payment. i told her i wasn't going to do that. the...

lol they sent me a PDF saying: congrats, we extended your lease. we're charging you for another month. got on the phone with a GM Financial rep and she claimed it was a mistake and would send the necessary emails to undo it. i also asked her to remove my bank account info from the automatic...

it's all in the chat log, which is still on their server as of this minute. i can certainly screenshot it or save the text. i guess i won't know until the 26th of april if they charged me for another month. they certainly didn't charge in march but that was to be expected.

tesla is strictly my way or the highway... no negotiations and in fact if they inform you your car is ready to pick up and you can't get it within 2 days, they give it to someone else. so i guess i'm going to eat the lease termination fee. hey someone has to pay for autovin to come out and...

well fast forward to today. the car is due back thursday. in the last month i called most of the bay area chevy dealers and most of them told me to pound sand. one of them wanted to know if i was going to buy a new car, and if not, no, they won't take the lease return. i called my originating...

by the way, the time has come for me to return this car. it was inspected last week at my home by autovinlive and they have identified about $410 in excess wear but in theory this will be covered by the XS wear insurance policy. i tried to call a local dealer (closer that the one we actually...

in my case they discovered abnormal wear on the insides of both front tires (< 3/32" of tread) and together with curb rash, have come up with a total bill of $410. $85 to repair the curb rash on one side and $162 per tire including labor. the curb rash on the left rear was considered normal wear...

thanks for the reply, i had missed it. the other day i talked to a friend who had a similar insurance policy on his leaf, and he told me that when he tried to claim warranty coverage for damage at the time the lease return was being processed, nissan told him the policy had lapsed some months...

well, answering some of my own questions here - i found this thread: https://forum.leasehackr.com/t/how-is-gm-financial-about-wheel-curb-rash/53117/11 my leasing company is ACAR which i believe is GM Financial. per the attachment at the end of that thread, it does sound like they will try to...

Hi all, in late march 2020, my 3-year lease on my 2017 bolt will be up. as partially discussed in this thread: http://www.mychevybolt.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=8410, i thought that there would be more EV choices available by now but its not looking like it. i might be in for a 2020 bolt if...

haven't seen that but have had all manner of problems with the entertainment system - carplay disconnecting/reconnecting, lockups, etc. what happened to you seems par for the course.

yeah i posted about this the other day and i think i had missed someone else's thread on the same update (so now we have 3 threads :) ). i feel like it must have been an onstar software update?

but seriously, i don't know - all i know is that the entertainment system is very buggy despite being on "version 14" and to be honest with each successive update it seems to have gotten worse to me. i basically can not use the radio if i want google maps (iOS) to make route announcements. i...
