Update on my seat issues: The seats were enough of a problem for me that I decided to trade my Bolt in for a Volt. The car had only 284 miles on it. I don't know yet how much of a financial hit it is going to be. Because my Bolt was considered "used" the new owner will not be able to get the...

GeneHG, I agree the Bolt is a lovely car however if driving it leaves someone in severe pain, that is not an issue to be dismissed. The tilt of the headrest is extreme, much more so than any other car I've seen. It is not necessary to protect someone from whiplash to have such an extreme tilt...

scbolt, here is the email I received from [email protected]: "Thanks for reaching out. I'm sorry to hear that your Bolt seats have been causing you such discomfort, and I can certainly understand your frustration. This concern has been brought to our attention, and rest assured that we're...

DoninLalaland, I have not yet talked finances with the dealership, however it seems to me that the tax credits/rebates could just be applied to the Volt instead. The new owner could apply the credits to the Bolt. It is probably true that the Bolt could not be represented to the new owner as a...

Ilectric, what did you find for $900 that worked for you? I've tried everything I could find. I've grown otherwise attached to the Bolt--it is a cool car--while I'm waiting for my Volt to come in (which hopefully will be more comfortable). You might want to ask GM to compensate you for your...

Adding a cushion to the seat is something I can do but it just pushes me further into the headrest. The angle on the Bolt headrest is extreme--much worse than any other car I've seen. It's not necessary for safety.

Update: I spoke with a GM customer care representative (contacted at [email protected]) and my dealership. GM says they know they have a problem with the Bolt seats and they are working on a solution. In the meantime, they have forbidden my dealership from making any modifications to my...

Small claims court in NY State, where I live, is for claims under $5000, far less than the cost of a Bolt. A better strategy would be a class action lawsuit. I believe it only takes a couple of plaintiffs representing a class, and would be likely to get media attention. The threat of one...

I think a sadist designed the seats in the Bolt. I've had mine a week and I'm really miserable. I haven't had this much back pain in 35 years, when I was disabled by a back injury. Between the flared seat cushions and the too far forward head rest, they couldn't have designed a more...

tk1971, thanks for all the information and taking the time to post it. I have never used a hitch before. Do they have to stay on the car all the time?

I haven't tried putting my bike inside the Bolt, but my last car was a Subaru Outback and my bike barely fit in it with the wheels on, and the cargo space in the Bolt with seats down looks much smaller. Have you fit a bike in your Bolt? I'm only 5"2" and I believe my bike is a 19" frame.

Has anyone found a bike rack that works well with the Bolt?
