2012 Chevrolet Volt complaints

AFTER A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER HAS EXITED THE VEHICLE, A WARNING MESSAGE APPEARS STATING SERVICE AIRBAG. THIS WILL APPEAR IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE PERSONA HAS EXITED AND, IN SOME CASES, FOLLOWING THE RESTART OF THE VEHICLE WITHOUT A PASSENGER. PUSHING DOWN HARD ON A CERTAIN SECTION OF THE SEAT WILL OFTEN MAKE THE WARNING MESSAGE DISAPPEAR, BUT THIS IS HAPPENING WITH REGULAR FREQUENCY. DEALER QUOTING COST TO REPAIR IS BETWEEN $900-$1100 DOLLARS. I BELIVE THIS IS PART OF INVESTIGATION PE19013.

THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE SEAT OR NOT. IF SOMEONE IS IN THE SEAT WHEN THIS HAPPEN THE AIRBAG IS NOT ARMED SO IT WOULD NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER, IT WAS PURCHASED IN OCTOBER 2011 AND HAS OVER 90,000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE SINCE THE AIRBAG WON'T DEPLOY DURING AN ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET VOLT. WHILE THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING 35 MPH, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WENT BLACK AND BECAME INOPERABLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

RANDOMLY WHEN DRIVING IT WILL SAY SERVICE AIRBAG AND THEN THE LIGHT FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG TURNS ON SHOWING THAT IT WILL NOT DEPLOY.

CONSTANT SERVICE AIRBAG WARNINGS, STARTED AS INTERMITTENT, NOW IT'S CONSTANT. THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE AND WOULD BE EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR, THIS IS AN OBVIOUS DESIGN FLAW WITH THIS VEHICLE, THERE'S THOUSANDS OF REPORTS OF THIS FROM OTHER OWNERS, IT'S SOMETHING CHEVY SHOULD RECALL AND REPAIR FREE OF CHARGE.

CONSTANT UPDATES ON THE DASHBOARD RELATED TO AIRBAG SERVICE RELATED ISSUE. THE NOTIFICATION FREQUENCY IS EXACERBATED WHEN SOMETHING OR SOMEONE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT.

AIR BAG SENSOR PAD IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS FAULTY. DASH LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF AT RANDOM IN FRONT SEAT. MAY LEAD TO AIRBAGS FAILING TO GO OFF. FRONT PASSENGER SEAT FAULTY, AIR BAG SENSOR PAD IS NOT INSTALLED BENEATH THE FOAM IN THE SEAT, INSTEAD IT IS ON TOP. HAS LEAD TO NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WHEN EVEN JUST SETTING A BAG ON THE SEAT. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM. POWERTRAIN ISSUE, BATTERY SECTION 3 FAILED PREMATURELY DUE TO A $5 TEMPERATURE SENSOR FAILING. COST TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE BATTERY SECTION WAS $3000+ DOLLARS FOR A $5 PART.

I PURCHASED MY 2012 CHEVY VOLT IN 2016 AT 65,000 MILES. VERY SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE, I NOTICED THE AIRBAG LIGHT COME ON. IT WAS NOT ON ALL THE TIME, BUT IF SOMEONE WAS IN THE SEAT OR IF MY PURSE WAS ON THE SEAT THE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND OFF. SOMETIMES IT WILL BE OFF, BUT COME ON IF I HIT A POTHOLE - WHICH IS INEVITABLE IN HOUSTON. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAVE A FAULTY AIRBAG SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND IT WOULD BE $800+ TO FIX THE ISSUE. I THOUGHT I HAD AN ISOLATED ISSUE UNTIL I SAW MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT OCCUPANCY SENSOR IS FAULTY CAUSING THE AIR BAG TO NOT BE ARMED WHILE PASSENGER IS IN SEAT. SOMETIMES THE AIR BAG WILL BE ON BUT WHEN PASSENGER MOVES IN SEAT OR WE HIT A BUMP THE AIR BAG LIGHT GOES OFF. IT WILL COST $989.00 TO FIX FOR A SENSOR INSIDE SEAT IS WHAT DEALER TOLD ME. THIS IS A PROBLEM SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS ARE HAVING.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED DUE TO A FAILED SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. HAD TO REPLACE WITH A USED SEAT.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED DUE TO A FAILED SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. HAD TO REPLACE WITH A USED SEAT.

THE CHECK AIRBAG SENSOR COMES ON SPORADICALLY, AND THE CAR DOES NOT SEEM TO RECOGNIZE WHEN SOMEONE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE ESTIMATED COST OF THE SENSOR REPAIR IS ~$900 EVEN THOUGH THE WARNING IS NOT CONSISTENT. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING. AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, THERE IS NO KNOWN CAUSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET VOLT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE PRECEDING VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED AND CAUSED THE CONTACT TO SUDDENLY DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL. SINCE THEN, EVERY TIME THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND THE BRAKE ASSIST WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO SIMPSON CHEVROLET OF IRVINE (LOCATED AT 21 AUTO CENTER DR, IRVINE, CA 92618, 949-328-6026) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE AND BRAKE PRESSURE MODULATOR VALVE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V271000 (ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES); HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

THE CAR WILL SHUT ITSELF OFF WITH VERY LITTLE TIME TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IF THAT IS EVEN A POSSIBILITY. WHEN SWITCHING FROM BATTERY POWER TO THE GAS MOTOR. RANDOMLY. THE CAR WILL DIE AT ANY SPEED. FIRST MESSAGE IS LOW PROPULSION POWER. NEXT MESSAGE ENGINE NOT AVAILABLE, SERVICE SOON. LESS THAN 4 MINUTES FROM 1ST MESSAGE TO TOTAL SHUT DOWN. LEAST AMOUNT OF TIME BETWEEN MESSAGES AND SHUT DOWN IS 15 SECONDS. CAR WILL DECELERATE (ON HIGHWAY WHERE VEHICLES BEHIND HAVE NO WARNING... NO BRAKE LIGHTS THAT CAR IS RAPIDLY LOSING SPEED). NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. USUALLY CAR WILL RESTART AND RUN TERRIBLE.. AFTER 20 MINUTES OR SO. AFTER RESTART CAR RUNS BAD LOW POWER. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. AFTER 10 MORE MINUTES OF DRIVING. IT STRAIGHTENS OUT. USUALLY. DEALERSHIP UNABLE TO FIND PROBLEM. ASSORTED CODES IN COMPUTER. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING. ESPECIALLY WHEN IT HAPPENS AND IT IS 15 SECONDS TO COMPLETE SHUT DOWN. I HAVE OPENED A CASE WITH CHEVROLET. NO RESPONSE AS OF YET. THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO CALL WITHIN 2 DAYS. I WILL UPLOAD AN ATTEMPT AT RESTART AS IT IS THE ONLY ONE I HAVE WHERE I WAS SAFELY IN A PARKING LOT WHEN IT HAPPENED. USUALLY I AM NOT. AND MANY ROADS IN MY AREA DO NOT HAVE A SHOULDER.

DRIVER'S INFORMATION SCREEN FAILURE. UPON STARTING, SCREEN WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE. CANNOT SEE SPEED TRAVELING, FUEL AVAILABLE, TURN SIGNALS, HAZARD LIGHTS, ETC. UNSAFE AND SEEMINGLY COMMON PROBLEM THAT WE ARE NOW EXPERIENCING OURSELVES.

COMPLETE LOSS OF PROPULSION WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED IMMEDIATELY AFTER TRANSITION FROM BATTERY TO FUEL. ABLE TO COAST OFF OF INTERSTATE AND COME TO A STOP ON A BUSY FRONTAGE ROAD, NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE FURTHER TO MOVE OUT OF TRAFFIC.

I WAS DRIVING IN 50 MPH TRAFFIC IT LOST ALL PROPULSION. THE PROBLEM I HAVE SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE THE PROBLEM GM HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR WITH 2013-2015 VOLTS. I BELIEVE GM DID OR SHOULD HAVE ANTICIPATED THE PROBLEM AND DID NOTHING. GM PROGRAM N172130462 HAS OWNERS OF 2013-2015 VOLTS BRINGING THEIR CARS IN TO DEALERSHIPS FOR A SOFTWARE UPDATE. GM HAS RECOGNIZED THAT THESE CARS "MAY HAVE A CONDITION WHERE IT COULD GRADUALLY LOSE THE ABILITY TO MAINTAIN VOLTAGE. IF BATTERY CONCERNS ARE NOT ADDRESSED, OVER TIME THE VEHICLE COULD ENTER A REDUCED PROPULSION MODE WHILE DRIVING, OR LOSE PROPULSION, OR IT MAY NOT START." I BROUGHT MY VOLT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP ON JANUARY 31, 2019, BECAUSE IT WAS NOT CONSISTENTLY HOLDING THE CHARGE THAT IT NORMALLY DID AND THE CAR WOULD OFTEN START IN "LOW PROPULSION MODE" WHEN STARTING IT AFTER TURNING IT OFF WITH THE BATTERY LOW OR DEPLETED. DESPITE BEING UNDER WARRANTY THE DEALERSHIP, BOB STEELE CHEVROLET IN COCOA, FL, CLAIMED THE COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM, REFUSED TO TRY FURTHER, AND SENT ME ON MY WAY WITH A BILL FOR THEIR FAILED EFFORTS. ON JULY 19, 2019, I WAS DRIVING IN ON MY WAY TO WORK IN MY 2012 VOLT WITH 101,400 MILES. THE CAR SWITCHED FROM BATTERY TO GAS AS IT HAD MANY TIMES BEFORE. ABOUT ONE MILE LATER IT SWITCHED BACK TO BATTERY, GAVE A MESSAGE THAT IT WAS GOING INTO "LOW PROPULSION MODE", AND STOPPED PROVIDING ANY PROPULSION. THIS OCCURRED WHILE I WAS ON US1 AND IT WAS DANGEROUS FOR ME TO RAPIDLY CHANGE LANES WHILE LO

THE INSTRUMENTATION PANEL HAS WENT BLANK. STARTED BLINKING WHEN DRIVING, WENT FULLY BLANK BY THE TIME I REACHED HOME. NO WAY TO SEE THE SEEP OR REMAINING FUEL. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP THE WANTS TO REPLACE THE PANEL BUT THE PART TO FIX THIS IS UNAVAILABLE. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR IT FOR 4 MONTHS NOW,

MY 2012 CHEVROLET VOLT SHUTDOWN WHILE DRIVING WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS WHEN THE ELECTRIC BATTERY REACHED ZERO RANGE. THE CAR WENT INTO NEUTRAL ON THE FREEWAY AT 65MPH AND WOULD NOT MOVE UNDER ITS OWN POWER. THE CAR WOULD NOT JUMP START OR CHARGE. THE HPCM2 HAS DISABLED CHARGING AND CAUSED A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WITH ALL 4 BATTERIES IN LOW VOLTAGE LOCK OUT. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM AS ANOTHER RECALL WHICH GM WILL NOT PERFORM BECAUSE THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V397000 I HAVE A UNSAFE CAR THAT IS NOW LOCKED OUT UNTIL THE RECALL IS APPLIED BUT THE FACTORY WILL NOT APPLY THE RECALL.

VOLT LOSES POWER WHEN SWITCHING FROM BATTERY TO GAS. HAS NOW OCCURRED FOUR TIMES. EACH TIME VOLT IS TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY 65+MPH. VOLT DEPLETES BATTERY CHARGE AND IMMEDIATELY UPON TRANSITION TO GAS WILL LOSE ALL POWER. CANNOT ACCELERATE. STEERING WHEEL LOSES POWER STEERING. VOLT WILL DECELERATE UNTIL 0 MPH. VERY DANGEROUS. IN EACH INSTANCE DRIVER IS FORCED TO GET TO SHOULDER OR OFF FREEWAY IN VOLT WHICH IS RAPIDLY LOSING SPEED. OCCURRED ON HIGHWAY WITHOUT SHOULDER LAST TIME. ALMOST CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

THE INFORMATION DISPLAY HAS GONE BLACK. THE INFORMATION DISPLAY SHOWS SPEED, MILEAGE, FUEL LEVEL, TURN BLINKER STATUS, AND OTHER CRITICAL INFORMATION. THE SCREEN BRIGHTNESS ADJUSTMENT DOES NOT AFFECT THE DISPLAY AND IS NOT THE PROBLEM. THE ISSUE CONTINUES WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR STATIONARY, ON CITY STREETS OR HIGHWAY, TURNING, OR BRAKING. I DO NOT KNOW THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE ISSUE BUT IT APPEARS TO INVOLVE ONBOARD COMPUTER COMPONENTS. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT NOR DAMAGED IN ANY WAY.

PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG / SEAT SENSOR MALFUNCTIONED SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. SEEN MANY OTHER COMPLAINANTS EXACTLY THE SAME ISSUE. GOT IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND MY PASSENGER WAS ALMOST KILLED AS THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THE MANUFACTURES REALLY NEEDS TO RECALL AND FIX THESE SEAT SENSORS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON WAY TO LONG. ALSO THE CONDITIONING UNIT FAILED DUE TO FAULTY MANUFACTURING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET VOLT. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE TACHOMETER GAUGES BECAME INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE SPEED, FUEL LEVEL, TEMPERATURE, OR OTHER FUNCTIONS WITH THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE PERSISTED FOR APPROXIMATELY THREE DAYS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. *BF UPDATE: NEITHER DEALER NOR MANUFACTURER HAVE FOUND PART TO REPAIR VEHICLE.*AS

AIR BAG SENSOR INSIDE THE SEAT STARTED FAILING INTERMITTENTLY. OVER 6 MONTHS IT WENT FROM GOING OFF AND BACK ON ONCE A TRIP, TO MULTIPLE TIMES IN A TRIP. THEN FULL ON FAILED. APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE BASED ON DISCUSSIONS HERE: HTTPS://GM-VOLT.COM/FORUM/ARCHIVE/INDEX.PHP/T-306433.HTML

2012 CHEVY VOLT AIRBAG PASSENGER SIDE. LIGHT CAR HAS BEEN TAMPERED WITH BY THE DEALERSHIPS. HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. REFUSAL TO FIX. ISSUE ALLOWS FOR THIRD PARTY ACCESS TO MY VEHICLE. USING SUB LANGUAGE MENUS. FOR SPANISH AND FRENCH. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM AND NO ONE IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS CALLS FOR A MAJOR INVESTIGATION INTO CHEVY DEALERSHIPS, FRAUD. MY CAR HAD THIS RIGHT AFTER MY FIRST IN WARRANTY SERVICE AT ROSEVILLE CHEVY DEALERSHIP. PLEASE HELP. MY VEHICLE IS BEING ILLIEGALY MONITORED . AND EXSTORTED FOR MONEY TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT IS RELATED TO TAILIGHT SWITCHING BULBS AND ANTILOCKOUT ISSUES WITH THE CAR.

SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT APPEARS AT RANDOM TIMES, NONE OF THE SEATS HAVE ANY DAMAGE OR SPILLS. APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE THAT CHEVY DOES NOT WANT TO FIX. PLEASE HELP.

THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON DUE TO A SENSOR IN THE SEAT CUSHION BEING FAULTY

MY VEHICLE FOR AWHILE NOW HAS GIVEN ME A SERVICE AIRBAG WARNING WHEN SOMEONE SITS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THIS ALSO HAPPENS RANDOMLY WHEN NO ONE SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE SENSOR WILL SWITCH ON AND OFF AND CONTINUALLY GIVE ME THE DASH WARNING LIGHT. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND FOUND TONS OF OTHER VOLT ISSUES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM INVOKING A DAILY SEAT SENSOR THAT WILL NOT PROPERLY DETECT AN OCCUPANT AND WILL TRIGGER THE AIRBAG ON AND OFF. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS IT WILL NOT ALWAYS PROPERLY DETECT IF THE AIRBAG SHOULD BE ON OR OFF WHICH IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH COULD BE FATAL. SOMETHING THIS DANGEROUS INVOLVING THE AIRBAG SYSTEM SHOULD BE PART OF A RECALL. I WOULD LIKE TO CHEVROLET TO FIX THIS ONGOING ISSUE THAT SO MANY VOLT OWNERS ARE HAVING. THIS REPAIR IS ESTIMATED AT $800 AND IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO ME FOR A SAFETY FEATURE THAT SHOULD WORK PROPERLY. I TAKE GREAT CARE OF MY CAR AND HAVE NEVER SPILLED ANYTHING ON THE SEAT AND HAVE NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET VOLT. AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKE PEDAL MALFUNCTIONED AND WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKE SENSOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. WHILE DRIVING, THE BRAKING DISTANCE WAS EXTENDED DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DAVIDSON CHEVROLET (5871 ROME TYABERG RD, ROME, NY) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE AND BRAKE VALVE MALFUNCTIONED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V271000(SERVICE BRAKES). THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE LISTED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

VEHICLE DIES SUDDENLY WHILE MOVING, ALTHOUGH UNDER FULL ELECTRIC CHARGE. COULD NOT RESTART. CHEVY SAID WAS SOFTWARE PROBLEM AND MADE FIX DEC 2018. JUST HAPPENED AGAIN YESTERDAY 2/17. OTHERS REPORTED ON VOLT BLOG SITE. SAID WAIT 5-10 MINUTES AND THEN RESTART, WHICH I DID AND THAT WORKED. CONCERN THAT LOSS OF POWER IS SUDDEN AND WITHOUT WARNING. DIED IN MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION THIS TIME BUT FORTUNATELY NO CROSS TRAFFIC. THIS IS SERIOUS PROBLEM -- APPARENTLY OTHERS HAVE HAD SAME ISSUE. REPORTING TO LOCAL CHEVY DEALER AT THIS TIME.

THE MAIN DISPLAY ON THE DASHBOARD IS BLANK. I CANNOT SEE MY SPEED OR REMAINING CHARGE OR GAS.

THE AIR BAG SENSOR WARNING LIGHT IS ON AND AIR BAG WILL NOT WORK FOR PASSENGER SEATS. PER THE DEALERSHIP THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAG SENSOR THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE COST OF REPAIR IS 800. TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG SENSOR MODULE. THEY SAID PLACING A CELL PHONE OR LAPTOP ON THE SEAT CAUSES THE MALFUNCTION BUT THERE IS NO RECALL AT THIS POINT. I CAN'T BELIEVE PLACING AN ELECTRONIC ON A SEAT CAUSES THE MODULE TO GO BAD AND THEY WILL NOT REPLACE THE MODULE.

11/10/2018 WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 45MPH HEADING SCHOOL THE CAR TOTALLY SHUT DOWN FOR NOT REASON, AND WOULD NOT RESTART. THE EV MODE SHUT DOWN AND THE GAS ENGINE DID NOT START. POLICE RECOMMEND TO GET IT TOWED TO SAFE LOCATION. ONSTAR RECORDS, MULTIPLE SHUT DOWN OF COMPUTER MODULES. 11

INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT TOTALLY BLACK WHILE DRIVING, ENGINE STILL RUNS AND VEHICLE WAS DRIVABLE. CAN NOT CHECK THE SPEED, OTHER THAN FOLLOW THE SPEED OF THE OTHER VEHICLE.

WENT OUT TO START MY CAR TO GO TO WORK AND THE TOUCHSCREEN OR MAIN DATA SCREEN IS BLACK. I CAN'T TELL IF I HAVE ANY ELECTRICAL POWER OR IF THE HEAT OR AC OR STEREO IS ON. IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN ON A TRIP OUT OF TOWN IT COULD PUT ME IN SEVERE DANGER.

VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THREE DIFFERENT GM DEALERSHIPS ALL WITH A FAILURE OF ACCELERATION AND THE MESSAGE THAT APPEARS ON THE DASH OF "PROPULSION POWER IS REDUCED." TODAY IT ALMOST CAUSES AN ACCIDENT AS MY DAUGHTER PULLED INTO TRAFFIC TO MAKE A LEFT TURN WHEN THE VEHICLE DID NOT ACCELERATE CAUSING THE OTHER DRIVER TO TAKE EVASIVE ACTION TO AVOID A TRAFFIC CRASH. DO PEOPLE NEED TO DIE BEFORE THIS ADDRESSED BY GENERAL MOTORS?

AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT IS ON AND FROM I'M READING ON MESSAGE BOARDS THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT. I'M TRYING TO FIND OUT IF A RECALL IS IN ORDER.

2012 CHEVROLET VOLT CHARGING STATION HAS BURNED THE OUTLET IN MY GARAGE THREE TIMES. EACH TIME I HIRED AN ELECTRICIAN TO REPLACE BURNED OUTLET AND VERIFY IT IS WIRED PROPERLY. WHATEVER THE MALFUNCTION IS, IT DOES NOT TRIP THE GFCI. THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD. ATTACHED ARE SOME OF THE PICTURES I SUBMITTED TO GM PAC WHICH DENIED MY CLAIM.

WARNING MESSAGE SAYING I HAD LIMITED PROPULSION CAME ON WHEN DRIVING NORMALLY IN NEIGHBORHOOD.. NO WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WITH IT. I COULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. TURNED IT BACK ON AND MESSAGE AND PROBLEM WERE GONE. THIS IS SECOND EVENT LIKE THIS.

NHTSA ID NUMBER:10872363 THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DISPLAY SCREEN WENT BLANK AND WILL NOT COME BACK ON. THE BACKLIGHT IS FUNCTIONING AND IT WILL INTERMITTENTLY REBOOT AND DISPLAY BUT ONLY TEMPORARILY. IT STARTED GRADUALLY AND WOULD OCCASIONALLY GO BLANK WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS AND CITY STREETS; BOTH IN MOTION AND STATIONARY, AND EVENTUALLY FAILED ENTIRELY. AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE, IT SEEMS THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WHICH NO DEALER SEEMS TO KNOW HOW TO FIX. THIS MEANS NO SPEEDOMETER, NO FUEL/BATTERY RANGE INFORMATION, AND NO INDICATOR LIGHTS OF ANY KIND. THE ODOMETER IS ALSO NOW NOT VISIBLE. ORIGINALLY THIS ISSUE ONLY OCCURED WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS OVER ~75F (A COMMON NOTED FACTOR WITH OTHER VOLTS HAVING THIS PROBLEM). THE ISSUE HAS SINCE PROGRESSED TO BEING FULLY DISFUNCTIONAL.

DRIVERS DISPLAY DASHBOARD IS BLACK WHEN STARTED. HAS NOT RETURNED AFTER MANY RESTARTS, CHARGES, LOCKS AND BATTERY DISCONNECTS.

WHEN PASSENGER IS SEATED, RANDOMLY A MESSAGE STATING "SERVICE AIRBAG" SEEMS TO ONLY HAPPEN WITH PEOPLE WHO'S WEIGHT IS OVER 180 LBS. HAPPENS WHILE IN MOTION OR STATIONARY, IT SEEMS LIKE A FAULTY SENSOR UNDERNEATH THE SEAT. DEALER\GM STATED IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, IT SHOULD BE ITS A SAFETY ISSUE.

DRIVER'S INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SCREEN FLICKERS AND THEN GOES BLANK WHILE DRIVING/IN MOTION ON A CITY ROAD AND ON THE HIGHWAY. DRIVER LOSES ALL INDICATION OF SPEED, TURN SIGNALS, LIGHTING, SPEEDOMETER, CRUISE CONTROL, FUEL LEVEL, CHARGE LEVEL, AND ALL OTHER CRITICAL INFORMATION THAT IS DISPLAYED ON THE DRIVER SCREEN.

WHEN UNOCCUPIED, THE DRIVER INFORMATION DISPLAY SHOWS "CHECK AIRBAG" AND THE RED INDICATOR ON THE DRIVERS DISPLAY INDICATES THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS DISABLED. THIS PROBLEM HAS GONE FROM INTERMITTENT TO CONSISTENT OVER THE PAST YEAR.

DRIVERS DISPLAY DASHBOARD IS BLACK WHEN STARTED. HASN'T RETURNED AFTER MANY RESTARTS, CHARGES, LOCKS AND BATTERY DISCONNECTS.

ABOUT 2 MINUTES AFTER STARTING AND WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 20MPH, THE DRIVER'S LCD PANEL SUDDENLY WENT COMPLETELY BLACK. THIS CONTAINS THE SPEEDOMETER, BATTERY GAUGE, FUEL GAUGE, TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR, AND SHIFT POSITION INDICATOR. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED, AND IT CAME ON BUT WENT BLACK AGAIN. NOW WHEN STARTING THE CAR, IT DOESN'T COME ON AT ALL.

THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HAS GONE COMPLETELY BLANK IN THE CAR. IT WENT IN AND OFF FOR TWO DAYS AND THEN DIED COMPLETELY.THIS IS A MAJOR HAZARD AS I DONT KNOW HOW FAST I AM GOING OR THE GAS AMOUNT I HAVE IN THE CAR. THIS WAS A MAJOR PROBLEM AS I WAS DRIVING THE CAR WHEN THIS HAPPEN NOT KNOWING IF THE ENTIRE CAR WAS GOING TO BLACK OUT VERY SCARY MOMENT.

SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT AND SOUND ALERT BEGAN GOING OFF RANDOM TIMES AND NOW IT COMES ON ALL THE TIME. I DID NOT REALIZE THIS INDICATOR MEANT MY AIR BAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT AND THE REPAIR FOR THIS SENSOR ISSUE IS ON THE OWNER. THIS SHOULD NOT BE THE CASE, THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THE REPAIR ESTIMATE OF $800-$1200 IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. I ATTEMPTED TO GO TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP IN HOPES OF RESOLVING WITHIN MY BUDGET BUT DUE TO CHEVROLET PATENT ON THE PARTS AND TOOLS NEEDED FOR REPAIR INDEPENDENT SHOPS CANNOT HELP ME. THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A RECALL AS IT IMPAIRS THE SAFETY OF DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS.

PASSENGER FRONT SEAT SENSOR FOR AIRBAG SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS, RESULTING IN PASSENGER AIRBAG BEING TURNED OFF WHILE ADULT PASSENGER IS IN SEAT. THIS OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING OR STATIONARY AND BOTH IN TOWN AND ON THE HIGHWAY. DEALER INDICATED THIS REPAIR WOULD COST NEARLY $1000 (~$500 IN PARTS AND OVER $400 LABOR). THIS VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 62,000 MILES.
