    Returning a lease

    Well the time has come to return my lease. I'm wondering what the experience has been like for you guys. I've heard the dealers have been difficult with the tire tread, but I was also wondering, are you required to return the portable evse, or the portable compressor/tire inflation kit? I'm...

    Who are the forum moderators?

    Me, NORTON, Fengshui and the site admin. Flagging posts as spam is extremely helpful as some of us aren't on very often. We just made NORTON an admin a little while ago since he's so active on the site. He probably cleaned them up.

    Ideas needed - - Clear curtain behind front seats.

    Laughing over here from Cali. Is preheating the car when plugged in not an option? I'd try thishttps://www.amazon.com/Honda-0SR95-HL4-205B-Fabric-Rear-Panel/dp/B014UA8PVG

    Fit a bicycle??

    I've fit my full size bike in the car. Fold the seat down and pop off the front wheel. It's not hard. I always put the bike in rear wheel first then turn the handles so that they will be parallel to the hatch. You can still seat two people that way.

    Catastrophic tire failure with 5 MPH curb incident.

    The stock tires on this car suck and will blow easily. I've done it twice already once on my own driveway and another time pulling in from the street. Any little bump regardless of the speed and the tires will crack.

    window tint

    I went Limo (5%) on everything except the windshield. I love the low profile look it has on the titanium grey paint. Also helps with heat and glare. It does get very dark at night though so you need to be extra careful.

    Strange things happening

    Sadly this definitely seems like there's an ongoing electrical issue. I'd have Onstar tow it to you nearest dealer as soon as you can.

    Departure Time Charging Not Working

    This has happened to me twice before. Seems like a weird software glitch. The usual fix to take the negative terminal off the battery and then put it back on. It'll "reboot" the car and the glitch usually goes away.

    "Clunk" noise upon hard acceleration

    Yep this is the wheels slipping. The spark has a very torquey motor but stock wheels are less grippy since they are meant to maximize range. As a result from a complete stop if you slam the throttle you'll most likely get a few seconds of wheel slip. This will be more noticeable when tires are...

    Diagnostic Refresh Failed App Message

    can you post screenshots? Since you have the volt and the spark you might be trying to access a volt feature that is in the app but isn't available for the spark.

    Educating the Police

    Haha I almost had a similar situation. Some of our onramps have HOV only onramps that allow you to not have to wait for the meter light. So I went up the HOV onramp and notice a CHP SUV parked on the shoulder checking to make sure that people aren't misusing it (which is a frequent issue I see)...

    Is OnStar required?

    Onstar is working fine. Please provide your proof that there was an Onstar outage. Also what do you mean by The Onstar module is located deep within the vehicle and cannot be simply unplugged due to it's antitheft technology.
