That's very interesting, thanks for sharing. I really like the Bolt (or did) but won't allow myself to buy another GM vehicle for other reasons. My dad is an old 60s car guy, GM diehard and a collector. Has a lot of six figure originals from their heyday. His favorite is definitely his 1970 Buick GSX SS Stage 1 that they only made 1,000 of or so. He's the original owner and it's all original. My brother has a Buick Grand National which is a pretty cool car too.
I never cared much about car brands but usually leaned towards GM as a result, Pontiac always caught my eye. GM's lineup seemed as good as anything. Once I had to take my car in for a recall I found how wrong I was. Both the dealer screwed me (expected) and GM corporate did as well (unexpected).
Long story short, they did an ignition console swap and after they were done they gave me 2 sets of keys and told me that one was for the door and one was for the new ignition. GM's CEO even stated on her blog that this was not to be the case. I wasn't the only person complaining about being told to have two sets of keys either. I filed a corporate complaint and they told me to pound sand. I did file a BBB report on the dealer and they never replied so I guess it just went on their record uncontested.
As well, GM later denied payment for a faulty gas tank issue that they sent me a mailer about for reimbursement but never paid me. The fix had already been done at the tune of $550. I followed their instructions exactly, quite time consuming tracking down receipts I no longer had and so forth. They still said I had something wrong with my application. Don't know what it was, at that point I was done hassling with them and had made my final decision on GM.
The verdict is no more GM for me or my family for the rest of our lives. There's plenty of alternatives. My wife now has a Subaru Crosstrek and I'm buying a Tesla Model 3. The new Honda Civic hatchback is pretty neat. Ultimately I believe I'm going electric from here on out, but never GM.
