Chevy Volt Reviews

Chevrolet Volt has bad Battery Control Module (BCM) that results in loss of power and inability to charge vehicle. Dealer cannot get the module, backorder, with no projected availability date. Problem is so widespread a class action lawsuit is in the works: **. My Volt has been unserviceable for weeks with no projected resolution. It has been a fine vehicle otherwise, but the lack of available parts and GM's inability to have a process in place to repair these defective modules via a 3rd party is unconscionable. GM Customer Care Reps have no authority, fail to return calls, and unproductive. The push for electric vehicles should be delayed until these issues are resolved. You, may be without your car for an undetermined amount of time....

I bought my 2017 Chevy Volt brand new from Gateway Chevrolet in Brampton, Ontario, Canada in 2017. I always bought my car to the dealership for service. In beginning of July 2021, the check engine turned on and the message said loss of propulsion for a short period of time. The was also still running. I called the dealership and asked whether it was safe for me to drive 2 hour back to Brampton. I was told that it should be o.k. I did and dropped off the vehicle that evening to the dealership.

A car that starts confidently, is quiet quick and great mileage. Sound and ride quality is good too. First car in a long time I actually like, and not experiencing any remorse. I like it so much I had driving it to work and am thinking about getting a beater 2018 Chevrolet Volt.

2012 Chevy Volt won't honor warranty 2012 Simi Valley Chevy. I brought the car in to Chevy's Simi Valley at 101,000 miles with the service manager Matt **. They could not figure out why there was a power reduction in the car. Was stalling on the freeway and on the canyon when switching from electric to gas then they told me it was a drive rotor be that needed to be replaced which is $5200 but they would give it to me for 1500 if I decided right away. Still they have not found why there is loss of power. They just say no codes. Been speaking to GM for 6 1/2 months and no one will help. They say if it doesn't have codes they can't figure out why, I told them that every research I did points to the large battery and that the car has special warranties as it was a special edition. I proved that the warranties were there with the original sticker and then but they would not honor them.

My vehicle began demonstrating symptoms of problems with the high voltage battery while the vehicle was within the Voltec warranty period of 8 years or 100,000 miles. The symptoms were reduction to the battery range and a Propulsion Power Reduced warning message. In August of 2018, I brought the vehicle in to Chevrolet dealer for diagnosis of reduced battery range at which time the Volt had approximately 91k miles. The dealer programed the vehicle to address a voltage balance issue for which a recall had been issued. I only observed minimal improvement to battery range. In December 2018 the Volt displayed a Propulsion Power Reduced warning message after the High Voltage battery was discharged and the gas engine turned on. We brought to Chevrolet dealer at which time the Volt had 98k miles. The dealer could not find the cause of the warning message.

My Chevy Volt came with a GM advertised in Black and White in the owners manual and on the GM Owner's website, Volt 8 year warranty. That 8 yr warranty states it covers every part specific to Chevy Volt and the propulsion system. My car has 20,000 on it and is only 5 yrs old. When it came time to use the Warranty GM denied the coverage. NO reason, Just stated the repairs were not covered. That two parts needing replaced, were, Volt only parts, specific to the proper and even operation of the propulsion system. One of these parts even though it was still working was required replaced by a GM Bulletin that stated it needed replacing if Manufactured before Sept 2013. This repair was at owner's expense because GM Denied the Warranty covered these parts.

We have a 2013 Volt. Last August had problems with electrical system. Local dealer lied about having properly trained technician, did not have a certified technician. Caused more problems, they had to be shipped to a dealership that had proper certifications, trying, and equipment 60 miles away. Total disaster and GM/Chevrolet did not handle properly, was extremely stressful. Now the engine has failed and needs replacement in Oct/2018. Again a disaster getting help from them no, return calls or followup. I am fed up. This car has 90,000 miles at least half electric mode. Other gas engine. How can an engine fail with so few miles on it. You would think we could get proper care from their Elite Team. We are now past warranty and getting no help from them.

I have a Chevy Volt that wouldn’t turn off. I needed immediate assistance, so I called Chevrolet Customer Service. They couldn’t help me and told me I’d need to get it to a dealer ASAP. Let me start by saying that only a Volt tech at a dealer can service the car. This was the first challenge. I called all dealers in my area and they either didn’t have a tech available for a couple weeks or kept putting me into voicemail. I finally found a dealer an hour and a half away that could get my car in to look at. My car only had 40,000 miles, so the issue was still under warranty. But the part needed was on backorder. The dealer didn’t have any loaner cars available. Because I live so far away, I needed a car. The dealer said that maybe if I call Chevrolet, they would cover a car rental. I called Chevrolet again and they said that they’d have to have a service advisor call me back.

Purchased new Volt. Dealer experience was great. The car is great, EXCEPT Issue [1] - Chevy keeps using driver side window stickers with glue that cannot be removed. These stickers inhibit driver vision and must be removed. When the sticker is removed, a large area of sticky glue remains that catches the rubber window seal and attempts to tear it loose, while making a terrible sound as the window goes up and down.

My husband and I have had our Chevy Volt for almost 2 years. The car was perfect but now we have a daughter on the way I can't put the car seat in the car because this car is too small and I have to sit with my seat straight up. Now we're having problems with the electrical. I will never buy this car again.
