  1. 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

     

     

  2. 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.  ?    

  3. 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?   

  4. 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?

     

  5. 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.
