    Car Wash Mode

    So this morning, I had the car washed and I will just say that while the instructions were confusing as written, the procedure is very very easy for the attendant to NOT screw up. I put the car into neutral from Drive with doors closed. Then I opened the door. At this point I still had the...

    Car Wash Mode

    From what I've observed, most of the attendants that drive the car into the car wash essentially have the car door open while driving. So maybe we'll get lucky and the car will be switched to N while the door is already open after the attendant drives it onto the belt. fingers crossed.

    Car Wash Mode

    1. Yes, but generally you're talking to an attendant about what type of car wash you'd like. 2. Yup, same 3. Yup, same. but I've seen them drive the car w/ the door open so that they can get out of the vehicle quicker. This is where it falls apart kind of. 4. Depending on the station, the...

    Radio turns on with start

    Hi Amber, The car was dropped off on 3/9 afternoon. I was informed on Monday 3/13 that they were able to reproduce the issue, although it is still random, but they've contacted GM tech to find a solution. I'm hoping it is an easy fix like switching out a component. If you need information on...

    Car Wash Mode

    Thank you for responding so quickly. I do appreciate the clarity. It seems now that the instruction manual states the procedure differently for when the vehicle is on. See the attachment for the procedure for Vehicle On. Could you please verify if this is the right method for taking the car...

    Radio turns on with start

    I'm also having problems w/ the radio. 1. The mute button will only mute the audio temporarily. 2. The XM radio will change stations randomly. 3. Sometimes the favorite stations will reorder itself on start-up. I plan on taking it to the dealership to have it looked at but if you guys are...

    Radio Issues

    The free xm radio aside, i'd rather have the radio fixed instead of it randomly jumping to different stations. Also the mute button only temporarily mutes the volume. Maybe like 3 to 5 mins then turns back on. Very strange.

    How Much I Paid for My Bolt

    No, GM Financial is keeping the $7500 and giving a $2500 incentive for a lease. So you can either view it as they're artificially propping up the residual value or if they gave it to you, they'd just probably lower the residual by $5000. Essentially, it's a 60% residual value (for 10k miles)...

    Car Wash Mode

    Hello again, On page 208 of the manual, it details the procedure for car wash mode while the vehicle is either on or off. Could you please clarify why the door needs to be open? Normally, if I'm driving into a car wash, i'm in D (Drive) and then move into the track. Do I then need to open...

    Radio Issues

    Just today as I was driving back from lunch, the car would random change stations on XM radio. At least I'll only have XM for 3 months.

    Audible warning for Lane departure and blind spot warning

    Hello, Is it possible to create audible warnings for the lane departure and blind spot systems? Specifically for the blind spot warning feature, if there is a car on my side and I activate the turn signal, it would be really great to have that audible warning instead of just a flashing light in...

    Radio Issues

    I just noticed this last night and it's not repeating itself regularly. When on Sirius XM, the station will change for no apparent reason. I was actually sitting in a parking lot and it just switched to a different station that's not a favorite station. then after a few seconds, it would...

    No adaptive cruise control?!?

    It seems to me that it's just a software update. In my Premier, the car tells me how far behind I'm following the car in front of me. It seems that GM can update the software to apply the brakes to slow down the car in cruise control. It has the capability to brake to stop when it's at low...

    How Much I Paid for My Bolt

    Oh, I see my mistake. I had the money factor at 0.00126 because there was another person here that was getting screwed over. I'm getting $456 on the dot now. Awesome deal, congrats. All you know is what you have in front of you today, and not tomorrow. This is the best deal I've seen so far...

    How Much I Paid for My Bolt

    really? That sounds like a great deal. I'd be interested in understanding how it got to $456. Can you post how they go to it? You said you're putting down $0 and they're paying for all the Due at Signing?
