    BOLT SEAT ISSUE - no DATA thread

    Terrific, advice, Michael! Thanks so much. It will be really helpful for next time as I have never heard of Maven. The Bolt is only the 3rd car I've ever owned. For most of my life, I didn't need one and took public trans or did a car-share program like Zipcar.

    BOLT SEAT ISSUE - no DATA thread

    Wow, Tirpitz, I didn't even know Chevy had a program where you could drive the Bolt for 30 minutes. How did you find out about it? The dealer didn't tell me about that option before I began my lease. Is Chevy telling the dealers about this option? Thanks!

    BOLT SEAT ISSUE - no DATA thread

    Do not know whether anyone else on this forum received one, but I received a survey from GM asking me for feedback about the Bolt. Here's the opening statement: "Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Peter Thom, and I am responsible for Quality at GM in North America. Our goal at GM is...

    BOLT SEAT ISSUE - no DATA thread

    Currypotter, Devbolt is correct -- if you are still interested in the Bolt, then you have to try all the seats. I found a dealer who would replace the original seat that I had, which was a cloth seat. I went to his dealership and sat in cloth seats of 6 different Bolts. 4 of them were terrible...

    BOLT SEAT ISSUE - DATA COLLECTION & REPORT HERE

    Thanks for your quick reply , SCbolt. Not sure whether you tried taking your car to a different Chevy dealer. Perhaps that dealer will have a different opinion and be willing to swap your seat. My dealer in Glendale from whom I leased the car would do absolutely nothing. I took it to a dealer in...

    BOLT SEAT ISSUE - no DATA thread

    Cperlin: Will the dealer charge you a lot for swapping the Bolt for the Volt? My dealer was going to charge me $455/month for the Volt as opposed to the $299 I'm currently paying for the Bolt. They said they could not resell my Bolt as a new car and the credits had already been taken on my bolt...

    BOLT SEAT ISSUE - DATA COLLECTION & REPORT HERE

    Hi, SCbolt. Where are you located? I found a dealer who was willing to swap my seat. He had me sit in 6 different bolts with the cloth seats. I chose the one most comfortable to me and he replaced the original seat. I no longer have any pain in my left leg or thigh and was waiting a week to post...

    Rate Chevy Bolt

    I'd rate the Chevy Bolt a 1. The fabric seats will make you a cripple. The styling is plastic, plastic, plastic. For $40,000??? The only thing decent about the car is the range and the trunk size. But who cares if after 20 minutes of driving, your left leg and hip and back are in pain? GM is in...

    BOLT SEAT ISSUE - no DATA thread

    Good luck with that! I've asked GM and the dealer to repurchase the car because of how terrible the seat is and both have refused. At first, it started out as pain in my left hamstring, then began in my left hip, left leg, and back. I've NEVER had back pain in my life. My dealer in Glendale, CA...

    Bolt Front Seats Recall Media Campaign

    Thanks, iletric. I did Twitter over the weekend -- reactivated my account, actually. That's where I hit-up @GMCustomerSvc. They're a joke. GM does not care. Really a shame. :evil: I also posted a review of my dealer on Yelp. He's angry, but what more can I do. People are posting reviews on...

    Aftermarket seat cushions

    Would LOVE to hear what other dealers are saying. I'm kind of at the end of my rope. I'm leasing the car plus, if there's a recall, I don't know whether if you add the foam like in the YouTube video, Chevy will say your car doesn't comply because of the modification. Here's where I am right...

    Bolt Front Seats Recall Media Campaign

    All Social Media @GM does is state how sorry they are about my experience, that's not the kind of reputation GM wants, and that Jeremy will contact me soon when he has something more to tell me. Well..... STILL no word from Jeremy or his supervisor David at GM and I've left 8 voicemail messages...

    BOLT SEAT ISSUE - no DATA thread

    STILL no word from Jeremy or his supervisor David at GM and I've left 8 voicemail messages. Allen Gwynn Chevrolet, my dealer in Glendale, told me today that he is going to start charging me for the courtesy rental and a fee for storing my Bolt. He also told me that there is nothing more that he...

    Is Chevy investigating seat complaints?

    ScooterCT, are you one of the owners suffering through this issue? STILL no word from Jeremy or his supervisor David at GM and I've left 8 voicemail messages. Allen Gwynn Chevrolet, my dealer in Glendale, told me today that he is going to start charging me for the courtesy rental and a fee for...

    Bolt Front Seats Recall Media Campaign

    Still no action from GM/Chevy. On Monday, Jeremy told me that his supervisor would be contacting me, however I have not heard from him and here it is Thursday afternoon. Also, I left several voice mail messages for Jeremy and he has not returned my calls. I forwarded the note from my doctor...
