2017 Chevrolet Volt complaints

While driving on the interstate at 75 mph I had to accelerate briefly to allow another vehicle to merge safely onto the road. Immediately my dashboard gave me a warning message saying “reduced propulsion acceleration may be limited” and the engine warning light came on. The temperature of my coolant began to rise over 230 F & then 240. Miles from my destination, I reduced speed & took the next exit to stop for fuel and read my owners manual. I discovered that the same message could appear if the car was not put into “mountain mode” thereby failing to reserve a certain amount of energy in the battery. I had hoped we starting the engine & resetting the computer with the car in “Mountain mode” would resolve the matter, but that was not the case. I let the engine cool down for a bit & restarted my trip as I was just 20 miles away from my destination. Later on, I got another message as my engine began frequently skipping and sputtering that told me my “engine as not available” despite having a bear full tank of gas. I pulled over to read the manual & discovered that this message indicated once my car ran out of electric energy it would just stop working! As I had been on the road for 6.5 hours prior, I knew there was no electric reserve to pull from & said a prayer that my 4-yr-old daughter and I could get safely and get a tow to the dealership. The “reduced propulsion” message is part of a recall on the gen2 Volt, tho that recall relates to a software glitch & the remedy just pro

Car would not turn off. Got the message "Shift to park" on driver display, but car was in park. Had to cycle the gear shifter several times in order to get it to shut off.

When I start engine it says action required shift to park and it’s already in park. Then car won’t move. This has happened several times. Sometimes it will start but says vehicle propulsion is reduced and I drove it like this once and it was dangerous. This keeps happening and I am scared!

We are having the "Shift to Park" problems described many times on various forums about this car. The car does not recognize that we have indeed shifted into Park (when we have) and remains on. Others have described power outage whiles driving and various serious issues once this problem starts. GM is aware of the problem.

Shifter is defective so that the car won't turn off, instead sticks on with "Shift to Park" warning. This makes it not possible to lock the car using the buttons, and drains the battery, resulting in stranded driver. Dealership said that they had never heard of it, but I see on the internet that is very, very, very, very, very common problem. Started after about 5,000 miles, has done is sporadically for last 4 years. Getting worse so that rarely turns off now, we just leave it on a charger all the time now.

I get the shift to park error 9/10 times I stop the engine. When I shift the gear to Park and turn off the engine, it gives me the "Shift to Park" error and will not allow the engine to turn off. I have to repeatedly jiggle the shifting gear until it finally turns off. It's a hazard that can leave me stranded. This started happening a few months ago. It used to be very rarely, but now, as I mentioned, is happening almost every time I try to stop the engine.

When turning the car off a "shift to park" message appeared. The car wouldn't automatically lock because it thought it was still in drive. When I returned I tried to turn the car on while still in park, I shifted back to Drive and then back to park and the same message appeared when I tried to turn it on as if it still hadn't turned off. No AC, steering or the startup sound so I tried to wiggle it and then took my foot off the brake and then turned off, I then opened the door to cut power. I put my foot on the brake and the car started normally but this is the 4th time in less than a week. Heat outside at this time of year is 115 degrees+ so being stranded for a neutral safety switch or transmission gear sensor is unacceptable especially when my Wife and daughter primarily use it. We had this problem over a year ago and they replaced the whole gear selector assembly but it is showing signs of failure again.

Parking sensors malfunction often and error "service park assist". Sometimes when someone is less than 500 feet away and turning the car slams on the brakes which points to a radar issue. Also sometimes the adaptive cruise doesn't work (Windshield is clean) so we are without cruise control. Happened twice on a cross country trip.

Rancid HVAC smell for the last 2 years. Florida dealer failed to diagnose it and did not turn on afterblow feature with simple 5 minute programming so now we hate to drive this Volt. It starts after a few seconds and gets worse for about 5 minutes unless using fan only then it never goes away. Recently took it to the HVAC specialists at the local dealer who diagnosed it as other than HVAC related smell even though it only happens when air goes through the vents. These same people make safety repairs and are ASE certified. GM customer service says it needs a second "permanent" treatment in 3 months (evaporator core foam and sealant) and then it will be better. Dealer failed to fix after 1 full day and 1 half day. Washed car each time and elongated a 3 inch windshield crack into almost the entire windshield top to bottom because they leave cars in the heat all day and then wash before the customer picks them up. The technician admitted it happens all the time (maybe wash when it first arrives or let people know it may cause a crack to get worse. Never charged the car even though that's a Volt process. Escalated in GM customer service she told me it will take 3 days to receive all info. No updates.

Shift to park issue. Can not turn the car off as it does not recognize it is in Park.

This is apparently a very well-known “shift to park“ problem. Once the car is shifted to park in the emergency brake is on, you press the button to turn the car off, but it won’t turn off. A shift to park notice comes up on the dashboard and the car will not turn off. It can take up to 15 times so far to turn the car off. I entered today’s date as the date of the problem, but it’s been ongoing for about six or seven months. I’ve taken it into the Chevrolet dealer about this before, and they said it was part of a recall. They fix the recall, but the problem is persisting. They claim that since it didn’t happen at the dealership they can’t fix it.

Intermittent Shift to Park Message - which on my car is permanent. My car will not shut off as it does not think it is in park. This is a very common problem with a number GM vehicles especially the Chevy Volt and should be subject to a recall. GM has a newly designed transmission control assembly to correct this problem.

When turning off the car, after shifting to park, I get a message indicating "Shift to Park". As it is already in Park, there is nothing that can be done. I have sometimes been able to get it to go away by continually starting, shifting to drive, shifting back to park and then trying to shut the car down again. Sometimes I just don't have time to do it and have to leave the car in this state and leave the car. I doubt it could be driven as I have the key fob, but it is on and when I get back, the car is powered up. I am not sure if there are safety implications to this as I don't know the cause of this problem. I have researched on line and this is not unique to my 2017 Volt.

The charger that was supplied with the new car caught fire in the J Connector handle and melted (pictures attached). this happened in my garage and I discovered it within 3 hours after it happened due to a chemical smelling smoke haze in the garage, and a pile of ash on the floor under the J Connector. There was no other damage other than the connector and it took a few hours to air out the garage. I had plugged it in to be charged at 12 amps with the dash indicating "7 miles" of charge left. The dash indicated "9 miles" of charge available after the fire (full charge this time of year is approximately 58 miles). The fire went out on its own. The charger has been plugged in the same outlet for the last 3 years and there is almost no load on that circuit other than the car (exterior lighting that has 4 led bulbs of low lumens). After the fire my wife recalled that she thought the charger handle felt hot once the previous week when she unplugged it. This is a serious safety issue because it could have started a house fire and risked the health, lives, and safety of my family--5 of us and a dog, nevermind the damage to property and risk to first responders. I reported this to the dealer I bought the 2017 Volt from new, which is Fitzgerald Auto in Frederick, Maryland. They asked me to bring the charger and car out same day which I did. It took them 3 days to call me and inform me solely that the charger is not covered under warranty anymore because it has been more than 3 years a

When shift-to-park the vehicle says the cars is not in park and will not turn off.

When attempting to turn off the vehicle, the vehicle does not recognize that the shift lever has been moved to the park position and thus stopping the vehicle shut down sequence. The vehicle provides a warning message to the driver that in order to shut the vehicle off, the vehicle needs to be shifter to park. The shift lever at this point is stuck in the park position and unable to be moved but the vehicle will not recognize the lever position. and you are unable to to move it. In order to get the vehicle to recognize the lever is in park, you must press the starter button, which discontinues the shut down process and commences the start up sequence. You must then press the shutdown button again to get the vehicle to shut down. Quick search of the internet indicates many other owners are experiencing the same issue but no safety recall that I can find.

Car intermittently fails to shift from Drive to Park which means car can’t be turned off. Car intermittently fails to allow the fuel door to be opened which means it can’t be refueled.

In increasing recurrence, when I try to turn the vehicle off, after having shifted to park and the dashboard is displaying that the vehicle is indeed in park, a notification alert appears saying "action required, shift to park" and the vehicle will not power off unless the shifter is jammed forward sometimes registering that it is in park. Often I will have to turn the car back on, and shift into drive and back into park and sometimes that will work and the car will shut off properly after that.

Car would not shut off. Message appeared "Shift to park" on driver display, but car was in park. Had to cycle the gear shifter several times in order to get it to shut off.

Car will not turn off when in part and press power off button. Seems dangerous to me. Please issue a recall.

When I park the car, it will not turn off. Gives the message "Action Required Shift to Park" But it gives that message while the car is in park. Originally, when it first started happening two years ago, it could not be reproduced. As such, while it was under warranty the problem could not be reproduced. Now it happens over 80% of the time I stop the vehicle. I mentioned the problem to the dealer but they could not replicate the issue. Eventually, if you move the transmission linkage around enough the error clears and you can turn the car off. But this puts excessive wear on the transmission linkage. And now, its out of its basic warranty. Its clear the problem has happened to many others out there, with far fewer miles than me (51,300 miles). Why isn't the manufacturer being held accountable for this issue?

At approximately mile 370 of a 390 mile trip while operating the engine in hold mode, the engine overheated, requiring me to pull over to the side of the road, wait for the engine to cool, and then proceed to the nearest Chevrolet dealership using the battery in order to be repaired. The first warning I received was a "reduced engine power" message. I scrolled through the status pages and found the coolant temperature to be 230 deg F. I continued to monitor the temperature until a few minutes later received the overheat warning and pulled over to the side of the road. The vehicle is a 2017 Chevrolet Volt with approximately 15,000 miles. The dealership found the EGR valve (part # 12691147) to be internally shorted and replaced it. From various internet reports this appears to be a common occurrence for this model year. This is a safety risk in that it is most likely a known defective part that fails prematurely totally unexpectedly.

The car will be shifted in park, but the car does not recognize it. It will show “Shift to Park” and won’t lock while sounding the alert. It’s very bad for the safety for the vehicle

Upon shifting vehicle in park, the vehicle will not turn off and shows a "shift to park" warning on the dash. Jiggling the gear shift has worked in the beginning but now is becoming less effective. Vehicle does not shut off unless this warning clears. We view this ad a safety and security concern.

CURRENTLY, THE VOLT WILL BE PARKED AND WILL NOT TURN OFF THE CAR. IT IS DISPLAYING A MESSAGE SHIFT TO THE PARK ISSUE. THIS IS VERY MISLEADING CONSIDERING THE CAR IS ALREADY IN THE PARK MODE AND WILL NOT TURN OFF.

Shift to park message comes up randomly. Doesn’t allow car to be put in drive. Goes away randomly.

THE VEHICLE DOES NOT RECOGNIZE WHEN PUT IN PARK, GIVES THE ERROR "SHIFT TO PARK" CANNOT TURN VEHICLE OFF AND GOES IN TO ACCESSORY MODE.

Shift to park issue. When stopping the car and placing it in park it will flash a warning message stating that you need to "Shift to Park" even though the car is in park. As a result the car will effectively keep running for a period of time. My 2017 Volt began exhibiting this issue recently. I took it to the local Chevy dealer who charged me $106.00 to tell me what they already knew since there are multiple Service Bulletins for this issue. The car only has 34k miles on it but is past the 3 year limit so they also want to charge me to repair it but based on multiple online chatter the repair does not typically last for more than a year. Why is something like my car will not shut off not being treated as a safety concern??

IT IS AN ONGOING ISSUE AND THAT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN ARRIVING TO A STOP (AT TIMES) THE CAR STILL ADVANCES FORWARD ABOUT A FOOT, EVEN WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS BEING USED AS FAR AS IT CAN. ALSO THE VEHICLE CLAIMS TO BE LOSING PROPULSION, OFTEN, AND SEEMS STRAINED WHEN OPERATING WHEN THE MESSAGE APPEARS.

MY 2017 CHEVROLET VOLT PRESENTS A "SHIFT TO PARK" ERROR. WHEN I SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION TO PARK AND PUSH THE START/STOP BUTTON, I RECEIVE AN ERROR MESSAGE ON THE DASH DISPLAY INDICATING: "ACTION REQUIRED: SHIFT TO PARK." THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER REMAINS LOCKED IN THE PARK POSITION. THE PROBLEM IS ONLY CURRENTLY RESOLVED BY PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, FOLLOWED BY SHUTTING IT BACK OFF AGAIN. I HAVE HAD TO DO THIS UP TO 6 TIMES BEFORE THE VEHICLE WOULD ACTUALLY SHUT OFF. SOMETIMES RESTARTING THE VEHICLE AND SHIFTING IT INTO GEAR, FOLLOWED BY RETURNING IT TO PARK AND SHUTTING IT OFF, RESOLVES THE ISSUE. WHEN THE "SHIFT TO PARK" ISSUE OCCURS, I AM NOT ABLE TO LOCK MY VEHICLE AS IT IS STILL "RUNNING."

I EXITED THE VEHICLE AND IT ROLLED BACKWARD. I WAS STRUCK BY THE DOOR AND CRUSHED BETWEEN THE CAR AND AN ADJACENT BRICK WALL.

I AM EXPERIENCING THE WIDELY DOCUMENTED "SHIFT TO PARK" ISSUE. [XXX] WHEN I AM PARKING THE CAR, I SHIFT INTO PARK AND TURN OFF THE CAR POWER. BUT OFTEN A RED WARNING LIGHT FLASHES IN THE CENTER CONSOLE INSTRUCTING ME TO "SHIFT TO PARK". AT THAT POINT, THE SHIFTER IS LOCKED AND NUDGING IT DOESN'T CLEAR THE ERROR. SO I HAVE TO RESTART THE CAR, SHIFT TO REVERSE(OR DRIVE), SHIFT BACK TO PARK AND THEN TURN OFF THE POWER AND HOPE THAT THE ERROR GOES AWAY. ACCORDING TO REGEN2 IN [XXX] , ITS A LUBRICATION ISSUE OF THE CENTRAL MAIN SHAFT ITS NOT DANGEROUS BUT ANNOYING AND PREVENTS ME FROM LEAVING THE CAR WHILE I TRY TO CLEAR THE ERROR. SINCERELY, [XXX] PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

WHEN AT REST, I SHIFT INTO PARK AND SUCCESSFULLY PUT THE CAR INTO PARK. THEN, WHEN I TRY AND TURN OFF THE CAR, I GET A MESSAGE TO 'SHIFT TO PARK.' IT DOES NOT ALLOW ME TO TURN OFF THE CAR OR LOCK MY CAR, EVEN THOUGH I KNOW THE CAR IS IN PARK. I HAVE TO TURN ON THE CAR, SHIFT BACK AND FORTH, AND TRY TURNING OFF THE CAR AS WELL. THIS MAY HAVE TO HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES, 3-4, BEFORE I CAN FINALLY TURN OFF MY CAR COMPLETELY.

SHIFT-TO-PARK ISSUE. AFTER SHIFTING TO PARK, AN ALERT SAYS "ACTION REQUIRED - SHIFT TO PARK." THE CAR WILL NOT TURN OFF AND THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK.

AFTER SHIFTING CAR INTO PARK, AND POWERING OFF THE ENGINE THERE IS A "SHIFT TO PARK" MESSAGE DESPITE THE CAR ALREADY BEING IN PARK. THE CAR DOES NOT TURN OFF. THIS HAPPENS REPEATEDLY. PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE OVER TIME.

GETTING SHIFT TO PARK NOTICE ON THE DASH. I HAVE TO FLICK THE BUTTON ON THE SHIFTER A FEW TIMES TO GET IT TO GO AWAY.

AFTER BEING PARKED FOR OVER 24 HOURS, WHEN WE STARTED THE VEHICLE WE GOT A MESSAGE SHIFT TO PARK. THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR AND WAS UNDRIVEABLE. WE TRIED TO CONTACT ONSTAR FROM THE VEHICLE BUT THD CONNECTION KEPT BREAKING UP. WE GOT THROUGH ON OUR CELL AND WERE FORWARDED TO GM. THEY ORDERED ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCECE. WHILE WAITING, WE AGAIN STARTED THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS A BEW MESSAGE INITIALIZING: WAIT TO SHIFT BUT THE CAR DID NOT GO INTO GEAR. WHEN ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE ARRIVED, THEY ALSO TRIED WITHOUT SUCCESS. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP. IN READING VARIOUS FORUMS, IT APPEARS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND A MAJOR REPAIR. I AM CURIOUS AS TO WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL FIR THIS ISSUE?

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PARK MY 2017 CHEVY VOLT IT GIVES ME A SHIFT TO PARK WARNING ON MY DISPLAY. IT WON'T TURN OFF AND WON'T LOCK. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP FIRST AVAILABLE ON 3/5/2021. THEY KEPT VEHICLE FOR FIVE AND A HALF DAYS WAITING ON THE PART AND OFFERED NO LOANER VEHICLE. THEY ENDED UP REPLACING N-HARNESS AND SL-N-SWITCH AND PERFORMED A SOFTWARE UPDATE. THE VOLT ONCE AGAIN DISPLAYED THE SAME MESSAGE ON MARCH 20, 2021. I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT I HAD JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON FEBRUARY 27,2021 WITH ONLY 25K MILES ON IT. I AM NOW FACED WITH CALLING THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN TO REPAIR SOMETHING THEY SAID WAS FIXED AND PROBABLY SHOULD BE A RECALL BASED ON THE 27K OTHER CHEVY VEHICLES EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. I'M HOPING THAT I DON'T HAVE TO COME OUT OF POCKET WITH ANY MORE MONEY TO GM ON SOMETHING THAT THEY SAY DOESN'T FALL UNDER THE VOLTEC WARRANTY. TRANSMISSION, WIRING HARNESS, OR THE SHIFT ASSEMBLY, DOES ANYONE REALLY KNOW WHICH ONE TO REPLACE BASED ON THREE DIFFERENT SERVICE BULLETINS. WOULD YOU WANT YOUR SON OR DAUGHTER IN A VEHICLE THAT DOESN'T PROPERLY PARK OR AT LEAST TELL IT'S SOFTWARE THAT ITS IN PARK? I THINK NOT IF EVERYONE IS BEING HONEST!

WHEN I TRY TO TURN OFF THE CAR, I PUT THE SHIFTER IN THE PARK POSITION AND THEN PRESS THE STOP BUTTON TO TURN OFF THE CAR. THE DASH SHOWS THE CAR IN PARK, BUT A MESSAGE SHOWS UP SAYING, "THE CAR NEEDS TO BE IN PARK BEFORE THE CARE CAN BE TURNED OFF". I CAN TRY SEVERAL TIMES AND GET THE SAME MESSAGE (P-D-P-D-P...) THE PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT AND THEN CONTINUOUS. THE DEALER REPLACED THE SHIFTER (DESCRIBED AS A KNOWN PROBLEM) AS I WAS CONCERNED THAT I COULD NOT TURN OFF THE CAR IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY (GAS GENERATOR FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHORT, LI BATTERY OVERLOAD, ETC). ALSO, I COULD NOT LOCK THE CAR UNTIL SOME RESET CONDITION OCCURS 10-15 MINUTES LATER.

THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY .ANYTIME IM ABOUT TO PARK MY VEHICLE , AND I TURN OFF THE CAR IT STATES ON THE CLUSTER THAT MY CAR ISN'T PUT INTO PARK , WHICH I DO AND IT SHOWS IT'S IN PARK BUT THE CAR TELLS ME TO PLEASE SHIFT IT INTO PARK . THE CAR CANNOT BE SHUT OFF. IT'S A REAL SAFETY HAZARD TO BE UNABLE TO TURN OFF THE CAR BECAUSE THE SYSTEM WON'T RECOGNIZE THE CAR BEING IN PARK . I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND A WAY TO FIX THIS ISSUE MYSELF . AND FROM ALL THE COMPLAINTS THAT I SEE FROM OWNERS IT SEEMS THIS IS A REAL ISSUE THAT NEEDS A RECALL AND SYSTEM UPDATE SO THE CAR RECOGNIZES THAT IT'S IN THE PARK POSITION .

IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SHIFT INTO PARK. NEARLY HAVE TO PUSH HARD TO HAVE THE PARK SETTING ENGAGE. UNABLE TO TURN ENGINE OFF WHEN THIS HAPPENS. ALSO, THE WINDOW WILL NOT GO UP SMOOTHLY. IT GOES UP AND DOWN ALL ON ITS OWN. IT APPEARS TO HAVE A MIND OF ITS OWN. YOU MUST OPEN THE WINDOW ALL THE WAY BEFORE IT WILL CLOSE. CANNOT PREFORM THAT FUNCTION WHEN IT IS ONLY PARTIALLY OPENED.

SHIFT TO PARK ISSUE. IT WILL NOT GO INTO PARK AND ALLOW CAR TO BE TURNED OFF. PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. CHEVY SAYS THIS VIN NUMBER IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY DESPITE FACT IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM.

I AM HAVING A 'SHIFT TO PARK' ISSUE. WHEN I STOP THE CAR AND SHIFT TO PARK, I ATTEMPT TO POWER OFF THE CAR. THE VOLT WILL NOT POWER OFF AND I GET AN ALERT ON THE DASHBOARD THAT STATES "SHIFT CAR TO PARK TO TURN OFF". BUT THE CAR IS ALREADY IN PARK. I AM UNABLE TO LOCK THE CAR AND THE LIGHTS WILL STAY ON FOR A FEW MINUTES. WORSE YET, IT IS INTERMITTENT. AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS AT RE-STARTING AND STOPPING THE CAR IF USUALLY TURNS OFF. MY VOLT HAS ONLY 28K MILES.

THE VEHICLE FAILS TO TURN OFF BECAUSE IT DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THAT IT IS IN PARK.

WITH THE VEHICLE STATIONARY AND GEAR SHIFT SET TO PARK, WHEN ATTEMPTING TO POWER OFF THE VEHICLE, A 'SHIFT TO PARK' MESSAGE APPEARS ON THE DASHBOARD. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT POWER OFF. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS OF CHANGING THE GEAR SHIFT TO DRIVE AND BACK TO PARK, THE VEHICLE POWERED OFF.

WHEN SHIFTING INTO PARK, AND DEPRESSING THE START BUTTON TO TURN OFF THE CAR, I SEE A "ACTION NEEDED: SHIFT TO PARK" MESSAGE ON THE DASH. SOME TIMES I CAN SHIFT THE CAR BACK INTO GEAR AND SHIFT BACK, OR SOMETIMES IT JUST LETS ME TURN IT OFF. THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY, WITH A FAULTY SENSOR BEING THE CULPRIT IN THE FULL ASSEMBLY. THIS AFFECTS BOTH CHEVY MALIBU'S AND CHEVY VOLTS IN THE SAME MODEL GENERATION.

SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE IN MID-2020, I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS INCLUDING AGAIN TODAY. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN OUT ON THIS ISSUE CURRENTLY.

WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING AND I AM DRIVING ON ANY STREET OR HIGHWAY IF I SHUT OFF ANY COMPONENT OFF THE HVAC SYSTEM, THE VEHICLE WILL GET VERY DAMP INSIDE. ON RAINY, FOGGY, OR COLD CONDITIONS ALL THE WINDOWS WILL FOG IN 30 SECONDS TO THE POINT I CANNOT SEE. IT WILL TAKE SOME TIME TO CLEAR IF I TURN IT BACK ON. THERE IS SOME DEGREE OF DAMP MUSTY FEELING IN MY CAR ANY TIME I TURN THE SYSTEM ON AS WELL. I AM AFRAID IT WILL START GROWING MOLD. I CANNOT GET THE DEALER TO WORK ON IT UNDER WARRANTEE. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTEE. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN PRESENT SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW. IT HAPPENS STILL.

THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK EVERY SO OFTEN. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN I USE A LOT OF THE STEERING CONTROL TO INCREASE AND DECREASE THE SPEED. IT'S I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 2 TIMES AND THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. I DON'T HAVE SPECIFIC DATES WHEN THIS HAPPENED BUT IT HAPPENS ENOUGH. OTHER THINGS THAT HAPPENS ARE 1) THE VOLT HAS A CHARGE SETTING THAT OPTIMIZE TO START CHARGE DELAY DEPENDING ON WHEN YOU SCHEDULE WHEN YOU PLAN TO LEAVE SO THE CAR WILL NOT BE LEFT FULLY CHARGE FOR A LONG TIME. HOWEVER, THE ESTIMATED CHARGE TIME IS COMPLETELY OFF NOW. IT SEEMS TO THINK IT WILL TAKE 12 MORE HOURS TO CHARGE. THEREFORE, THE CAR WOULD START CHARGING A FEW HOURS EARLIER THAN IT SHOULD. 2) THE AUDIO SYSTEM CONNECTED TO THE SMARTPHONE IS VERY BUGGY. SOMETIMES THE DISPLAY SHOWS MUSIC IS PLAYING BUT NO AUDIO.

THE CAR DOES NOT TURN OFF COMPLETELY AND SHOWS "SHIFT TO PARK" WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS IN PARK MODE. IT IS A COMMON ISSUE BUT CHEVY DOES NOT RECALL AND CHARGES CONSUMERS FOR OUT-OF-WARRANTY VEHICLES.
