  1. Was thinking that too. Not really too disgruntled. Had to climb in the back....but if that's what it takes ,easy enough....?
  2. Two items. The rear liftgate on mine. Like all 4 of my windows. Has a safety, bounce-back feature. That prevents anyone from geting in a pinch. Convenience wise. Having said that. Have tried and tried; to get the kick liftgate feature to work on mine. W/o success. Have checked most of the fuses. Front and rear. According to the owner's manual. There is (apperently) a fuse box, located under the glove box. That I've yet to find. Real reason I am posting is ;where do people think the bestplace to hide the spare key is? Not inside car I'd guess. Have been locked out a couple of times. When I had the liftgate open! Thanks for anyone's time...Bob
  3. In pursuing this topic. Think I've found the answer to the original question,,,One; other's have noticed,too (also)... Why is the Energi turning radius so bad? One fellow suggested the addition of an anti-sway bar. Great, if one has the cash,, never me: though! Not to be discouraged...however. Tried turning the auto, s-l-o-w-l-y, under control. Conscientiously keeping inertia,(read, roll) down. Turning as flat (anti-sway) as possible. Eureka! The anti-sway bar, Like VW had. And like Corvair had. Small-ish autos I've had experience with in the past. Is the ticket. But,,, drivng slowly, into the turn. Keeping it flat,,,like a grocery cart. Works just as well. Initiate the turn slowly and when the car gets into the flat....finish turning the steering wheel. Car snaps right around! Into the turn. ?
  4. Have owned my 2013 Energi almost two years. During that time, have noticed a bumping noise under the floorboard. When turning the steering wheel. When driving. Is there any adjustment that can be made to the suspension. To raise the front end a little. Short of a lift kit?

    Hello

    Thanks for the replies. Helps ease the anxiety. Was thinking it might be a function. Of the hybrid set-up. One other thing, maybe related. Lots of times when turning the wheel. I can feel the steering linkage bumping against the floorboard. Not seriously,but definitely noticeable. Took it to the dealer. They just shrugged it off. Any thoughts?

    Hello

    Am having a problem with my 2013 Energi. That I can only describe as it's turning radius. Hopefully it's a quick fix. It usually happens in a U-turn. But, last Thursday; I hit a curb,AGAIN. And the impact literally,cut the tire. Making it un-usable. Had to replace it. Any suggestions? That I can take with me. To a Front-end specialist.
