    Is HVAC burning you up too? Chevy says "nothing wrong"

    I apologize for not posting an update for quite some time. However, I don't have anything new to add, yet. My dealer DID convince GM to send a field tech to look at my car, and this behavior did manage to raise both his eyebrows. Still waiting for the next steps, though...

    How Do You Turn Off the Radio?

    I do understand. It's a clever way to have the car turn the volume all the way down for you in between power-ups. I'm glad it works for you! However, as I am a single-driver household, I would ALSO prefer that the mute remember its state, so that when I "turn on" the sound, it comes back at...

    How Do You Turn Off the Radio?

    Radio Settings -> Audio Cues: Off The manual (page 177) never defines what "Audio Cues" are, but it's the swooshy sound that plays with the animation on power-up and power-down, and I am grateful that there's a way to turn it off! I should note, my vehicle (which IS running 14.1.0) doesn't...

    How Do You Turn Off the Radio?

    I don't understand why so many people seem to be apologizing for or justifying this peculiarity of the Infotainment system's operation. How hard is it to say THIS IS A BUG and CHEVY SHOULD FIX THIS? It's not about the semantics of "radio off" vs. "mute" -- there's a button that, when you push...

    How Do You Turn Off the Radio?

    One can compare its operation to the expectation a reasonable person would have of similar equipment. Every other automobile sound system I've interacted with (between cars I've owned, Chevy loaners, rental cars, and the cars of friends) has been capable of remembering its "mute state" between...

    Is HVAC burning you up too? Chevy says "nothing wrong"

    With regard to setting the "auto" climate control to 74º and eventually having the cabin climb past 86º, I've noticed no difference whether the Bolt is: Driving in hot weather, driving in cold weather, parked and charging, parked and not charging, daytime, nighttime, rain, shine, or whether it's...

    Radio turns on with start

    Based on the way Chevy and the dealer are responding to this query, maybe we're using the wrong language. Of course the radio (head unit) turns on with start-- the touch screen display is integral to the operation of the car. The problem might be more precisely described as the sound system...

    Is HVAC burning you up too? Chevy says "nothing wrong"

    My dealer has asked me to bring my car back tomorrow so they can perform an "Air Conditioning Diagnostic Test" for General Motors. Not sure what is involved in this test, or even if it will provide them with any relevant information (since if they just set the temperature control to "LO" for...

    Is HVAC burning you up too? Chevy says "nothing wrong"

    The temperature logger I'm using is the HOBO UX100-011 Temperature/Relative Humidity data logger from Onset, which claims an accuracy of ±0.38ºF. I configure it to store a measurement once every 10 seconds, then I download the data to my Mac via a USB mini cable. Since this was originally...

    Is HVAC burning you up too? Chevy says "nothing wrong"

    I can assure you that this behavior occurs in my vehicle whether in the sun or shade, day or night. Also whether driving or stopped. My preference for testing in the shade is primarily to eliminate the notion that direct sunlight could have skewed the thermometer readings. Thank you for the...

    Is HVAC burning you up too? Chevy says "nothing wrong"

    As previously posted, I took my Bolt to the dealer yesterday to have them perform TSB 17-NA-049. They informed me that no DTCs were reported, but agreed to perform the TSB anyway. After service, the tech reported finding no damage to the duct temperature sensor wiring. However, the service...

    Is HVAC burning you up too? Chevy says "nothing wrong"

    After speaking to Chevrolet Customer Assistance on Friday, and phoning the dealer Monday afternoon, I finally got a call back today. My dealer's "Customer Experience Manger" said that the tech didn't apply this TSB the first time I took my Bolt in because it was not reporting certain DTCs...

    Seat split at the seams

    ugh, so it looks like mine's doing it to. Oh car 1.0, why must you test me so! Hey drdiesel1, before I bring this to my idiot dealer, has there been a TSB on this? ...and can anyone recommend a NON-idiot dealer in Southern California? ;)

    Where to get a laser thermometer ??

    The temperature gun I used to measure the air coming out of the vents of my Bolt for the Is HVAC burning you up too? thread was the Fluke 62 Mini Infrared Thermometer, which I borrowed from work. Very simple to use, has a laser and a backlight, and runs off a 9 Volt battery.

    Is HVAC burning you up too? Chevy says "nothing wrong"

    drdiesel1 you are my freakin' hero. I called Chevrolet Customer Assistance today and had them re-open my case. (As you may recall from the original post, I last left off with them parroting my dealer's utterly preposterous "Vehicle is operating as designed" determination, with them refusing to...

    HVAC heating temperature window

    I really want to know the answer to this first question too! So far, I think I might be the only owner to attempt to measure the cabin temperature at various climate control settings. The more folks who can grab a thermometer and test their Bolts, the better idea we'll have as to how...
